Mirmic Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Hmm, it would be great shame if the photos of Mimics stunning modelmaking vanished into the photobucket hole. They really should be available to inspire modelmakers of the future. ( That also goes for a lot of very impressive models previously available via RM web and referenced to photobucket, but too many to list all of them) Hi in New Year! Phil, rockershovel, thanks. Now I'd like to show you indicators, gauges for control pressure of steam, pressure of compressed air, volume of water etc. My first idea was use pics for dials. Because effect was rather poor and didn't satisfied me I drew they in CAD: After shrinking they to diam. around 4 mm. they looked as follow: Assembly rest of elements and painting gives result as below: You could evaluate if my effort had sense Rgds Mirek Edited July 24, 2017 by Mirmic 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted January 26, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2017 These are amazing, and you have made me rethink my attitude to card for anything other than modelling buildings. I doubt I could ever do anything even a tenth as good as these models; your bogie assembly looks quite astonishingly real, but if you can make a Duchess or 241P of that sort of quality, then I ought to be able to at least have a go at a matchboarded GWR autocoach! I've a layout to finish first before I have time for that sort of adventure, but you have triggered my imagination; thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirmic Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi, The Johnster, paper or cardboard is the same good material for modelling as another. Needs only take into consideration that is much weaker. Generally what we observe? There are full metal model, from mixed material (metal, plastic) and from another. It depends of their functionality. As a static model cardboard loco has sense but motorized? Rather no. In my case I like process of built. Later model can stay on the shelf. Metal model or cardboard model on the shelf will be the same good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

petertrains Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Petertrains Am I the first to suggest that this thread should be under the heading of kit building and scratch building? Many skilled builders in metal and plastic would be blown away by craftsmanship of this quality. Peter Worden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
