Bits, Pieces, & Clutter

Far more than adequate. Looks real to me, too. Vastly too sophisticated for the convention. -- Russ

Thanks Volker and Russ. Much appreciated.

Russ, re. the conv...that's okay...wasn't doing it for them...was just wanting to have some modeling fun, and do something so as not to just plop the model on a white tablecloth.

this is turning out to be an olympic competition USA-France ( Marc-Alexander) in groundworks 
Marc is gaining up, ... and, ... it's a photo finish

[Alexandre]

haha, we don't run in the same circle.
Marc has always been better than me! 

Great scene Marc. Wonderfully done, if Wonderfully exists in English.

[marc_reusser]

Ha, that's funny Guy

Boy can that Frenchman lie! Don't believe him.....I am merely riding around on his coat-tails.

There is supposed to be a third party in this scenery debacle as well...but he has been holding out....probably down at the pub...... typical Scot.

[JohnTolcher]

Superb! That concrete is perfect IMHO!!

[Gordon Ferguson]

Very impressive Marc, you mining a rich seam of of little scenes beautifully executed .

As for the slanderous suggestion that we Scots like a drink, I'm so shocked think I need a drink to get over it 

Me, I am half way between concrete and vegetation 

[finescalerr]

Gordon, if you were hoping to get that thing published in the December Modelers' Annual you'd better wrap it up. I've already started the book and wanted all submissions by Friday the 23rd. -- Russ

[Gordon Ferguson]

Well Russ was not aware of your deadline, mind you I never asked.

It ain't close to being finished , so maybe next year ...... In digital 

[Alexandre]

wanted all submissions by Friday the 23rd. -- Russ

Haa! 

[marc_reusser]

C'mon boys...shake a leg! You still have a few days to get it done...hell, next to chuck, I am the slowest builder here, and I actually managed to do a project in a day (granted, I already had all the bits laying about).

[Gordon Ferguson]

Knew finishing stuff would turn your head , now you are boasting about it.

We'll see ........... Of course I could just concrete it 

[marc_reusser]

Yep...the head is just swelling up.

No worries....will deflate shortly.....just finished clipping and downloading some 100-200 reference images I need to sort through for my next build ....gaak...feel the air leaking out already.

[Ray Dunakin]

That little sidewalk and rails scene is beautiful! That could go right alongside one of NK's street pieces.

[Gordon Ferguson]

Time to add another "bit" to this thread.

Needed to make one of these, an olld cast iron radiator



If my drawing skills were any good it would have been an ideal candidate for 3d printing, but they are not, so did it the manual way. Plastic card, tube and some cutting& sanding ....... Silicon mould and resin casting



Then just a matter of repeating and building it up










Struggled sorting out the end pieces which need to include the cast supports/feet but hopefully got that sorted , so will post final details soon
