shortliner Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 ....well it is "Darn sarf" at any rate - we had ours at the begining of the month, when the weather was reasonable - but since we haven't had one for a while, how about this? http://www.modvid.co..._bike_shop.html Them's MY sort of machines - proper 'Bikes! Found on the RailRoad Line forum and reposted as a direct link rather than using their bandwidth. Be sure you also look at the "DETAIL" photos at the bottom of the page Enjoy, people!

stock_2007 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I think I need to take a long look at what I'm doing, my god the detail!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Granted it is 1:35 scale, but it isn't just the detail - it is everything from the rusting/weathering, to the general "run-down" atmosphere that amazes me - back in the day, I knew a lot of bike shops that were just like that - if you coudn;t find the bit you needed, go sort through the junk-pile out the back! You can almost smell Castrol 'R' fumes in the air. A true master craftsman! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewC Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Rather than pollute this section of the forum with endless Eye Candy threads, how about we merge them and make it a sticky? Here's one sent to me by a mate: http://vlm32.com/savedHTML_2/thecitythattimeforgot.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtwo Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The bike shop is excellent work. But what about the "machine shop" and "auto shop"? (links at the bottom of the page) Both with the same level of detail and 1/87 scale! David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Man, I'd love that blue chopped Triumph in 1:1 Scale! You see the model of a model in the window? Trash bag, so much to admire. Diorama's allow people to get into this level of detail without spending 30 years on a project... Best, Pete. PS Bank Holiday weekend here too. "Labor Day" on Monday, kids go back to school next Wednesday. Hooray! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
