Sandy Hollow

[1-32]

Hello, all as always wishing you all the best of health and thank your positive comments.
Moving along-the mineral bin so much wood but so much fun, it will have a removable interior mineral pile of either coal or gravel suitable detailed. Now all the bobs and pieces like the bracings and the road base.
cheers.

Very expressive Kim, as is all of your work. I can't help thinking there is a health and safety inspector somewhere having a stroke!

Morning all as always thank you all for your interests and wish you the best of health.
Moving on with Sandy Hollow.
When I start a project I expect it to change and this is the case with Sandy Hollow I can't just work to a plan, after all, I do it basically as a hobby but what a hobby.
With a total length of 1450 mm or 4 foot 10 inches and a width of 350 mm 1 foot 2 inches now there are two baseboards-the town of Sandy Hollow and the board for the loader connected by a narrow-gauge railway, it has gotten smaller but there is more potential.
The town baseboard now has the base terrane glued in place and the buildings are being modified to fit the area. To come is a road crossing and a blade signal connected to a leaver frame working of course their positions are marked by the bare patches .
So much to build and change great.
But in the meantime wishing you all the best.
Kim.

Editing seems to have increased that section's impact. As so often is the case, less is more. -- Russ

Model building as an iterative process leads to interesting results. Looks coherent, Kim.

Good morning all and as always wishing you all the best of health.
I have been away for a while have visited many amazing places and stayed healthy but,3 days back in Australia I got Covid. I am lucky my mother gave me a strong immune system and being fully vaccinated means after 7 days home care I should be good to go.
It has been refreshing to get away from modeling for a while and just soak up what the world has to offer in my case 3 outstanding science and technology museums.
The Riverside Museum Glasgow, what a wonderful showcase of what Scotland and the Clyde used to produce.
The Technical Museum Vienna is huge and overwhelming any museum that has a whole display on hot water systems gets my vote.
And finally the Arsenal Vienna and one particular model -a 1-12 scale cut in half or a section of a Dreadnought battleship, hard choice after seeing so many amazing models and miniatures but it has to win, pity I found it hard to photo.
When my strength returns back into modeling.
Cheers Kim.
