1930 Russian workshop - MSea

[Wizzel]

Bear in mind I'm NOT an engineer, but I'm looking forward to seeing what purpose the bolts in those triangular supports serve.  Happy to wait and see the thing come together or you can all tell me.  I am enjoying seeing this take shape though Martin.  Do you find it helps speed things up a bit when you have the pressure of keeping us waiting or is it just me that's like that?

Well the first bit of weathering on the tops of the girders - a before and after shot.
First time EVER using weathering powders so still a lot to learn. Think when all are fitted to the workshop another top coating of dust will be needed ?

Looking good, very clean work indeed...watch out Zak!

Yes, I will have to keep an eye on Martin. he will want to wear yellow soon I think!

[Kiteman]

Nobody wants to wear yellow!!!

[msea]

I would rather a red splinter group than wear yellow. HoHoHoHo

[msea]

Well the next bit of kit is a forge. Since the comments at the club meeting about it needing coke and was not finished - I have added some painted cat liter - are you all happy now ?

[msea]

Brain must be turning to mush as usual. I forgot to add the photos. That will give some people lots of opportunity to make comments.
Nearly hit the post button again before adding the photos.

Things hotting up then?

[Wizzel]

I'm really enjoying seeing this come together.  Really good details Martin, I look forward to seeing the complete thing. 

[Kiteman]

You sure are forging ahead with this one.

Forging ahead -- well the forge needs a blacksmith so here he is. He started life as an Academy  "IDF Modern Infantry Set"  figure with the uniform details carved off and an apron made from wine bottle metal top.  Keeping to the club motto "it must be cheep" the set of 4 figures was reduced to £1 39.

I am very impressed with your attention to Detail. A very enjoyable project to see is this one.

Are you turning into a chicken Martin?
Cheep, cheep?
Looking good, I like the figure conversion.
Will you be adding any machine tools?

Is the blacksmiths name Luke?
