Regards, Simon Agreed I have to keep reminding myself it is in 2mm. I’d be more than happy with similar results in 4mm! Plus I find the dedication over such a period inspirational. Keep on buggering on! 1 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post CF MRC Posted May 2, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2021 The cast columns are now securely fitted to the canopy. Locating them was going to be a bit of a challenge, but was helped by using some Evergreen styrene channel stuck to the beams. The ground position for the column was indicated using a simple jig. The base of the columns was dug out through the styrene cobbled street to add a positive location. The six columns were set in full strength, slow-setting, epoxy resin. This allowed time to ensure that they were plumb. The columns are re-assuringly rigid and will allow the prototype photo that started off this whole area to be well reproduced in miniature. The Perspex screen is to also protect the end of the canopy and stop stray fingers. Next job will be the railings on the main rooves.

RMweb Gold Popular Post queensquare Posted May 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Wonderfully atmospheric modelling Tim, truly stunning stuff. This time of year I'm very busy in the veg garden and unlike some who are now officially a pensioner I do still have to earn a shilling but I've attached a snap of some road vehicles for CF which are slowly progressing. Some decent horses will be a huge leap forward. Jerry Edited May 6, 2021 by queensquare Descent of my spelling! 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bécasse Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I couldn't decide whether the horses are a touch on the lightweight side or whether my recollections have been coloured by only seeing Ardenne horses (which are real heavyweights and which are still used here on forestry work because they can go - and haul - where no motorised vehicle can) for the last decade. As to the "manure", if the local houses had even minute gardens, as opposed to just a paved backyard, any droppings would have remained in the road for seconds before being collected. It was a highly prized free "good" and I remember housewives dashing out front, shovels in hand, as soon as they heard the clatter of hooves. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main heavy horse in Scotland is the Clydesdale and they are BIG, typically 18 hands+. My daughter has a cross Clydesdale and she towers over my 6ft. Docile big softy, like all the breed.

Possible uses include lions as part of monuments. A zebra would be appropriate for London in the 1920s as one was trained to pull a cart as part of a bet.

I seem to remember hearing at Alan at ModelU was of the opinion "never work with children or animals" ... A bit of Googling suggests there's quite a market for photogrammetry of horses though! https://3dprint.com/137010/my-horse-in-3d/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
