We’ve got one of those hand pumps at work! You’ve got the colours and branding spot on - instantly recognisable.


Thanks, well near enough

I’ve made the transfers myself, I managed to draw the logo on AutoCAD and print them off on waterslide print paper. The colours aren’t too far off but you’re limited by the palette available on AutoCAD

 

They are very delicate and you end up with a lot of carrier film so not professional quality like @railtec-models transfers but more than sufficient for this kinda thing

 

I didn’t have any orange paint for the handle so had to mix red and yellow, I should have added more red really

In a nutshell they are used for liquid/solid separation using pressure filtration

Interesting, guess that's what they use in DAF plants and Effluent plants at food factories that I install at as a fire alarm engineer

Basically any industry that needs solid liquid separation

 

Food and Beverage Processing

Distilleries and booze Processing

Washed Coal Tailings

Quarry/Mining

Dyestuffs

Colours and Pigments

Heavy metal and Plating effluents

Precious metal effluent

Most Industrial Effluents

Power Generation

Sewage Sludge

Potable water sludge

Alloy Wheel Stripping sludge

 

The list is almost endless

 

I started in the drawing office of a filter press manufacturer at 18 on the drawing board and 30 years later I’m still drawing the things but the technology has improved quite a bit

I need a mug for work and I think I found one that describes my job perfectly

🤪

 

That pretty much sums it up. 

 

Although I was told that a true engineer is someone who also has to wash his hands before going to the toilet...

Yes, that's the difference between an engineer and a gentleman.

Whilst having a sort out at the weekend I came across a few bits bought a while ago

 

SHEEPS!

IMG_9600.jpeg.53692f1b7c591a80929444bea65c7211.jpeg

 

farmer Hoggett and his collie are Modelu and the sheeps are by ‘serious play’

 

I do have some Modelu sheeps that are finely detailed but they are considerably smaller

 

IMG_9603.jpeg.c9abfb384bec6cbcaef1bf13c48ba108.jpeg

 

and might get lost in the grass?

 

IMG_9604.jpeg.97e26c98536bf3d22c18ed5a9c4f221a.jpeg
 

I’m considering  shaving mowing the glass in this area and use the Modelu sheep as the others look too big to me, opinions please

How about using both lots?

The sheep I have are the large ones from Serious Play and repainted Peco / Merit for the younger animals.

 

As for scale, here's a bunch of flockers who are unimpressed with the Sainsbury's Assault Vehicle.
