Hello everyone, in the meantime I have drawn a draft. The design shows the bricked beginning of the gallery from 1871. I have drawn the masonry and added a photo of the original. I would then engrave the masonry in MDF, or rather recycle 5 mm MDF packaging. Everything should of course fit completely in a cake box, but will still consist of a box open to the front. Of course, this illuminates the impression of a mine reinforce. The button with the green ring is an even-handed button with the case that a small show is designed and is only for the small presentation. For this I am powered by a test purposes microcontroller of the battery powered by electricity. The few SMD LEDs will hardly consume power. I believe that the question is solved in any case by a power supply. Was not that you?

Hello everyone, in the meantime I have collected the first parts for my personal cake box Challenge. The idea is to use existing material. Here is my mine car in scale 1: 22.5 on a piece of track with 26.7 mm gauge. In addition, a friend once scanned me in a miner's work clothes with a 3D scanner, here's the 3D expression. I hope to use the holidays to be able to sign a template for my model. Because in the meantime I was in the mine and measured everything exactly.

Very interesting post and I think this cake box model is can be a successful example.

Thanks for the pictures Phil. Meanwhile, I also solved the challenge with the Cakebox by making a 1.5mm MDF myself, as I reported in my thread. On Tuesday I measured my role model in the mine.

I also think, in fact, the good training of the herding dog is more important than the race. Only the German Shepherd I have already seen as a commercially available model.

Hello everyone, i have mastered my first challenge, unfortunately there are no 8 inch cakeboxes in Germany. What I'm a modeler and so I have built a model cakebox made of 1.5 mm MDF in scale 1:1. But see for yourself: The components. The box itself.

Hi Nick, are there pictures from the Digitrains Show?

Or add a German shepherd, then the fence can also go away. Nice model.

Sorry Google has translated automatically, so I have corrected in English. At the moment I'm waiting for an appointment, where I can measure and photograph everything in the mine on site.

Hello everyone, for some years I build a model of the visitor mine Klostersstollen in Barsinghausen. I focus on the entrance to the mine. At fairs, I was asked again and again how it looks under the earth. When I heard about the Cakebox challenge, I thought it would be a good idea to show scenes from the mine. Here for information only a picture of the model more Picture on may Homepage: http://www.design-hsb.de And a picture of what I want to realize in the Cakebox Challenge: Sorry Google has translated automatically, so I have corrected in English.

I also think the standard cakebox is not suitable as a transportbox for a perhaps valuable diorama. Scalemodelscenery already manufactures a 200 mm base diorama from MDF, why not also a transportbox made of MDF, that would certainly be good. I have a CNC machine and I could also mill it myself. Laser cut, such a diorama with box of course would not be bad either.

Of course I can order via Amazon Cakeboxen in the UK, only in Germany there is no 8-inch Cakeboxen. I've also read through the whole wonderful long thread before. Besides, I live next to one of the biggest biscuit factories in Europe and they also have beautiful tin cans and there costs a large can with content less like the cakebox made of paper in England, but now I have the dimensions and have already started the planning. If I make it with my Cakebox diorama to an exhibition in the UK, I promise I'll bring a large tin can full of biscuits from my home. Here's an example from Amazon even very British: https://www.amazon.de/MagiDeal-Britischer-Tortenkartons-Kuchenschachtel-Geburtstags/dp/B073B6T7JV/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1512405866&sr=8-2&keywords=tortenbox+8+zoll When my design is finished I will open a thread. Thank you Helmut

Hello, I am completely new here and live in Germany this is a country where there is no cakebox to buy. In Facebook I read about this contest and I liked it so much that I am here now. Of course I could send me a cakebox from the UK for a lot of money. Much better I would find it, however, if there were the maximum dimensions in mm in the rules. I myself build general models in the scale 1: 22.5 and for the Cakebox Diorama I have as an idea a mine track with gauge 26.7 mm. The magazine is also available as an online version, I found out now I just have to find out how I get a subscription for it from November. Greetings Helmut My Homepage http:www//design-hsb.de
