RSS Fetcher Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Layout in a wine box by 65243 original page on Old RMweb __________________________________________ ??? posted on Mon Oct 05, 2009 5:47 pm Out for a walk a few weeks ago I came across this wine box just lying around. It made me think of all the boxfile layouts on here, so of course, I picked it up http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc84/pastor_t65243/winebox/PA040077-1.jpg A little work with a jig-saw (first time I'd used it in anger) and a couple of hinges later: http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc84/pastor_t65243/winebox/PA040079.jpg http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc84/pastor_t65243/winebox/PA040078.jpg I've since cut the screws back - don't want any accidents. Then I put some track and stock in - just to get a feel for how much room there is in there. http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc84/pastor_t65243/winebox/PA050080.jpg Looks like it might have some potential http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif __________________________________________ Comment posted by Fat Controller on Mon Oct 05, 2009 6:00 pm 65243 wrote: Out for a walk a few weeks ago I came across this just lying around.

We thought we were doing well when we got 12% on this year's harvest. __________________________________________ Comment posted by nzovu on Tue Oct 06, 2009 2:53 am Great idea! Wineboxes are so frustrating, because they've got this great feel and look, but I never know what to use them for. I have a couple lying around that I was going to use for displaying stock (on the wall, with an added shelf and a glass front), but this is better! Very curious about the anger and the jigsaw, but I better not ask ! http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif __________________________________________ Comment posted by Barcaneatpete on Tue Oct 06, 2009 6:57 am Nice idea - am watching with interest - you didn't say whether the wine was still inside the box when you stumbled across it http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif __________________________________________ Comment posted by cornelius on Tue Oct 06, 2009 7:02 am Looks like some grape potential here. __________________________________________ Comment posted by Steve with the Hat on Tue Oct 06, 2009 7:30 am Looking good - press on! __________________________________________ Comment posted by eldavo on Tue Oct 06, 2009 7:44 am Space for something juicy.

No sign of the bottles either. Away back when ... I'd entertained thoughts of building a P4 layout in a couple of IKEA boxes (SNACK). A serious lack of motivation and the need to use the boxes for their intended function (i.e. to store things in!) means that the track I built then is now available for this project. So this will form the bulk of the trackwork. http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc84/pastor_t65243/Doublesnack/snacktrack4.jpg I'm thinking of making it a small dockside area just now, with all track infilled with cobbles. I need to think about buildngs - it'd be nice if I could fit everything in the box with the lid shut for transport - and fiddleyards - how many and how to attach them to the box. __________________________________________ Comment posted by Steve with the Hat on Tue Oct 06, 2009 10:33 am Its certainly got a more practical feel about the space for modelling, boxfiles seem more like animated dioramas. Could you make a single road fiddleyard on each side that detaches so they can be stored in the box for transport ? good luck Steve __________________________________________ ??? posted on Tue Oct 06, 2009 1:56 pm Steve with the Hat wrote: Its certainly got a more practical feel about the space for modelling, boxfiles seem more like animated dioramas. Could you make a single road fiddleyard on each side that detaches so they can be stored in the box for transport ? good luck Steve That's what I was thinking - maybe something like Philip Parker did with Melbridge Box Company (http://www.pagenumberone.co.uk/layouts/Boxfile/index.htm). As I'm on holiday just now, I had time to root around in my collection of kits and bits. I came across a couple of Kibri kits that I "won" on e-bay a while back. I've placed some of the wall sections together on the layout to get a feel for how it might look. http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc84/pastor_t65243/winebox/PA060082.jpg http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc84/pastor_t65243/winebox/PA060083.jpg http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc84/pastor_t65243/winebox/PA060084.jpg I'll need to think about a backscene, and maybe a wall and some gates to cover the gap in the centre rear, but apart from that I think I like it. __________________________________________ Comment posted by shortliner on Tue Oct 06, 2009 4:13 pm I only just picked up on this - or I'd have offered another suggestion for the cutting of the winebox - not sure of the size, so please excuse the dimensions You are looking down on the winwbox from above - ie this is a plan view winebox.jpg (22.83 KiB) __________________________________________ Comment posted by rouse2037 on Tue Oct 06, 2009 5:24 pm Mmmmmm wine! I like the look of the way this is going! Nice one. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_thumbsup2.gif Roger __________________________________________ View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
