Inch wise ibe my cloister cake box model completed and submitted to the contest at BRM , I took part in the weekend at the Arge narrow gauge EXPO in Gmünd, here my presentation. The model itself is on the cake box which I have pasted with pictures of the image and the model. The model shows an authentic user guidance, with explanation and move of a mine car. All this was realized by 2 AVT sound modules and a Dinamo OC32 NG.

Thanks for the Support, I have already submitted and submitted pictures with inch rulers. Thanks to a Swedish furniture house even a paper tape with an inch arrangement.

My cake box model has even function, but unfortunately in the instruction manual of the sound module was a mistake and so it is only now. A big problem remains with me but in Germany there is no original 8 inch cake box to buy. The shipping costs from England for this are unfortunately very high. I built a cake box myself and my model fits in there too, only is it not an original, what now?

Hello, after heat-free in the workshop and the family-related break, it can finally go on. For the rehearsal I started with the character of mine and set it up for a rehearsal in the Cakebox model. The pit light is already tested and the connection is made via M1,4 threaded bushings in the legs. So the connection can be completely unobtrusive but very reliable. Visitors can come and wait for their painting and design. The figures are 3D prints of real model trains that I personally know. Of course they were designed to pit suitable. During the search I had made sure that the clothing was ever suitable. So all needed really only a pit helmet of 2K plasticine was modeled. One had unfortunately only a top with short arms, and this could be modeled with the 2K plasticine to a jacket around. Now the primer follows. The wires are also in this case for the pit lights what is spent on the safety of some. All figures have M1.4 mm threaded bushes in their legs, in 2 figures the figures are again pierced with extra-long drills and 0.5 mm brass wire was drawn in. The 0.5 mm wire is shortened and then the fine connection wires of the SMD Led's can be easily soldered to it.

I mentioned it elsewhere, my biggest win will be a working Cakebox model and with that I can finally show a real scene from the mine. I hardly see a chance for the only profit, because for that, my subject is far too far away from what is considered interesting here. The different scales and gauges are far too different. Remains the reason why should I ever do my job to submit my model?

I also thank the repair of the double action airbrush worthwhile. Have you also ordered a new nozzle needle for caution?

Further improvement, I like to dye the filling material before with powder colors. If something is thrown off or repelled, it will not flash white.

Yes such a PC is of high recreational value he wants to have provided a lot of it. What is the reason for the circle above. I like everything else well.

With only a single winner, all of them are in place 2 losers. This is somehow not very motivating, because you can actually save yourself from a certain degree of participation. Have you ever thought about forgiving prize deeds? For example, best of the size, or the best ten? Also special innovation there is a lot of praise and motivation to be found, which actually costs nothing. Still my German problem there is no cakebox here, also applies to my own.

Modeling always has to do with a real role model for me, and that's why I always associate a true-to-scale implementation. I believe each of you could do the same, or even better. Because I just looked closely at the model and then tried to implement it. Of course I'm lucky enough to own a CNC engraving machine. The CNC machine I bought cheap used, the most complicated was to learn how to handle it. Likewise, with all other model building activities, the most complicated thing is always to acquire skill and knowledge. I've been modeling for 65 years now and am still learning today. In addition, I am grateful for the suggestions that I received here in the forum for my Cakebox. So my Cakebox model has developed here with the construction progress and suggestions from the forum, because at the beginning I had not thought to build this way, but the ideas grew with the progress of construction. But it also means something to throw away something new and better from the beginning to start. But I thank you for the recognition, it shows me that it is the right way. Family I had a break now, but I hope to continue working on it shortly.

I accidentally deleted it with a ton of spam before downloading it.

In the meantime, the first Model figures have arrived, because I got the startingset from my wife. However, it is agreed with the persons concerned and they are informed, but all are not active here in this forum either. I already had the figure of myself, and that's why I had already primed it as white. In addition, I also got myself once again as a trains and that also fits much better than the first attempt. Sample in the Cakebox model.

I am German and had no English lessons in the school. Thanks to modern translation, I can nowadays also use texts in languages ​​foreign to me. Unfortunately, I can not use this electronic support for paper magazines or electronic magazines. However, this forum is so worthwhile I would not buy a magazine for me, which I can read so very arduous. By a post on Facebook, I would attentively on the Cakebox Challenge, could inform me in the forum and now build a Cakebox Modell.Dabei I prefer online media and maybe this is also possible sometime with national language support, of course I am also willing to pay for it.

As can be seen in the pictures, I have now installed and wired all the electronic components. In addition, I have configured the OC32 as the central controller and defined all processes. As you can see on the pictures, I also installed sound modules. An MP3 sound module provides for the original sound of underground rippling all the time. I already reported at the beginning that I have a scanned figure in the clothes of a Bergman. In fact, I have always explained to visitors the guided tours of the peculiarities of this place. So it was natural to do this in the model as well. Now I'm a participant in a British Modelling Competition Cakebox Challenge. Thus, the language should also be English. Only that was not enough for me, why can I not switch the language between German and English. So I wrote down a text in German and translated it into English. Then everything digitally recorded as a WAV file and stored in 4 separate files in a WAV sound module. Once there is the explanation and then warnings that I play separately so that they can run synchronously with the reel noise. Unfortunately, my first reel shots failed me and so I would like to repeat what thanks, the proximity to the monastery gallery is not a problem. The model can indeed be operated with batteries to comply with the rules, but also to save energy and to protect the environment, I have optionally provided a power adapter. Now I'm waiting for more figures because I need so well visitors who follow my explanations as a miner. There comes another peculiarity, I get scanned characters from real friends. The receive, then just like the miner, a miner's lamp will burn naturally. Then comes once again, additional wiring to me.

One should not always just expect others to do something for one. Maybe you should even take the initiative to maybe meet a small group of like-minded people. After all, two are twice as much for yourself. Or even go to a group even if it is not on your own doorstep. All this can only be an enrichment in my view and experience.

First test run, for my scale 1: 22.5 built diorama, the monastery tunnel extension. Controlled with Dinamo OC32 NG. https://youtu.be/L6lAQRcGKzI

Thank you for your appreciation and interest. In the meantime, I have completed the servo drive for the mine wagon. I used a servo which makes almost 6 turns. The included pulley moves about 500 mm of rope, which is about 100mm which I need far too much. So, I made the smallest possible pulley myself. I need 2 rope drums sitting on a shaft. A rope drum wraps the rope and the other one. The servo shaft has a diameter of 6 mm which results in the core of my shaft from a 7 mm brass tube. As a drum I use 8 mm brass tube which in turn fits on the 7 mm shaft. I fixed a rope drum firmly on the 7 mm shaft and the 2 is twisted bar to be able to clamp the rope. The individual parts for the rope drums. The two individual rope drums. The assembled rope drums. The model of the compressed air reel serves as a deflecting roller. Due to the size of the Cakebox, however, I have to divert the rope at the end of the tunnel one more time. Actually, wanted to use ball bearing pulleys. Just seemed to me this too elaborate and I have just times 2 mm brass tube which I have bent with a self-made bending device appropriately. As a rope I use 0.5 mm of scale rope from a radio. After the installation I tested it with a Servotester, which was to the full satisfaction. Here is a picture of the mounted compressed air reel with the carbon seam at the bottom left. The compressed air reel is now mounted and above all coloured, including aging. Since the underground in the mine is made of clay at this point, the compressed air reel is additionally braced with a support against the ceiling. This prop is also part of the model and was rebuilt and aged by me from brass. Since the miners in the monastery tunnels at this point have stumbled on the coal for the first time and that is still to be seen there today, I have also modelled this with original charcoal from the monastery tunnels. The servo drive with the two rope drums. View through the tunnel to the compressed air reel with the 2mm brass guide tubes.

I already built the first model railroad parts in 1977 that could be combined. I didn't like the facilities in a box that were common in America. For me this was a diorama which I could pair with another. Since I also founded the Fremo, I have also incorporated my thoughts on these flexible systems and built the first samples of the Fremoduls. Then the term module was used for the first time. If you really want to motivate many people to build and participate, you can only regulate the most necessary. In the meantime I have concentrated fully on the scale 1:22.5 and on this scale also my first modules, which still exist today.

Meanwhile I was able to complete the model of the compressed air reel as you can see and it is now complete. The fact that I arranged the track diagonally in the middle because of the largest possible length, the wall also yields a wider width for thrust. As a result, the water basin is still visible and so I have built it as well. First I engraved the wall joints for the 3 wall parts with a 0.5 mm cutter in 5 mm thick MDF. Then I milled the outer contour with a 1.5 mm cutter. First sample of reel and water basin. The reel is now also mounted and blackened on its base plate. In the background the water basin, which in my opinion revalues the scene. Finally, a look at the Cakebox model, which fits perfectly into a cakebox, but is far from finished.

Time for an update. In the original with a compressed air driven reel, a pit car is pulled out of the tunnel at the demo-site. Such a reel is of course not as a model, reason and chance to build this reel itself. Unfortunately, at the moment there are no options available to draw such a reel in 3 d in order to have it printed. Only my hobby is model making and I prefer to do everything with my possibilities myself. I was able to buy a engraving machine that produced a company called badges. This machine can be controlled via HPGL character files, which I can generate with a 2 D CAD software. So I create just a lot of items which then assemble to a whole. The parts for the reel model. Shell of the reel as screws I used for mounting M0, 6 model screws and cut the tapped holes by hand. There are still some very small parts that I would like to create but I am satisfied.

Rusty is the pit rail, if the mine car does not run over it. Frosty the miner's face, if he does not drink now and then. Cheers Allowed is always something like it.

After the coal mining, the coal is broken and then comes into the coal wash. After that, the charcoal is sorted by seven by size. So it is very unlikely that such large chunks of coal will be loaded. It would certainly do the scene well and replace the charcoal with smaller ones. Also, this would relieve the poor worker who is trying to crush the coal with the hammer. Otherwise very nice model and I love the British short freight wagon with advertising inscriptions.

Thank you for the positive feedback, because for me it is important to see if you see it that way. My mine model has a real role model in my place of residence. It is important to me to set this as natural as possible. Since it is a visitor mine, in which also functions of mining are demonstrated, I would like to do this in my model so. This will include a pit guide / miner who explain the place to the visitors and demonstrates the function. In the original, the meaning of the historic place is explained underground and pulled the mine car with a reel from the tunnel. All this should also happen in my model. For this I need a sound module for the explanation and the noise of the moving mine car. Of course, this has to happen synchronously with the model's procedure. To realize all this I started to install the electronics. Since everything has to fit into the 8 X 8 X 6 inch Cakebox for the challenge, that's not all that easy. For the power supply is a battery pack with 12 volts installed, but that can be switched on and off via a switch. In addition, the switch has another position in which an external power supply can be turned on. This is the first time the power supply is secured. The central control of all processes is carried out by a Dinamo OC32-NG. This is a freely configurable sequence control system for model railroads with 32 I / O inputs and outputs. Since I have a resistance bank in the first bank, I can use it as an input, servo output or to drive a Led. I am already in a model making servo with which I would like to move the mine car. Since such a servo also requires 5 volts, there is the additional board SP04, which suppresses the servo signal and is responsible for the 5 volt power supply. But I also need 5 V DC for the AVT sound module which I also connected to the SP04. Everything can be triggered later by the viewer himself by pressing the button on the front itself. In addition, there is a board with relays that serve security and exclude incorrect operation. Because even if the start button on the front is pressed several times, it must not come to any malfunction. I have begun to wire the cable, but only finally complete the wiring when the servo is firmly mounted. Since I also follow the other Cakebox projects, I realize that my contribution from the scale 1: 22.5 on the electronics is a little different, quite apart from even in a mine.

From a friend I got the tip to cover the RGB LEDs with a yellow filter. For this I have just painted the RGB LED's with transparent yellow color. Here you can see the result:

Meanwhile, the small dioram has been installed in his box and I have made a first light test with RGB LED lighting in the box. What do you mean too blue or?
