The GnATTERbox

Looks promising, Peter ... and a nice SBS as well!

Any progress on the brickwork too?

... OK, thanks ... but I see trouble coming regarding proper threads/paths with "1/4" in it ...

Stockers,

following this "nomenclature" ... what would - in your opinion - be a matching term regarding 1/16 scale running on 16,5 mm track representing 10 1/4 gauge ...?! 1/16n10 1/4 ... or ... 1/16n10.25 ... or else?

Cheers

Good luck!

Yes, standard quality grout, available at DIY-shops.

G'day, To apply joint mortar into the joints at first I tried to sweep it in, using a paint brush (and the mortar to be fixed it with a layer of clear varnish when applied) - which did not work quite proper, especially because the mortar powder stuck too much to the surface of the bricks - or would ...

G'day all, Just dropped in accidentally ... just in case it might be of interest - I finally came to the idea of a micro layout in 1/16 scale with a railroad running on 16,5 mm tracks, representing 10 1/4" (260 mm) gauge ... Plan of micro layout (still only mock up from card board) http://www.d...

Henrik,

sorry for interrupting your workbench thread, but there was a little red loco on your former Borkum layout ... was it scratchbuilt, a kit ... and what scale ...?

Henrik,

Thanks for the additional information ... as I said: very interesting (and tempting) - will visit your workbench report/your website more often ...

G'day all, Tidying up my work bench I decided to part with some of my stuff: 2 Preiser-Figures | Workers/Railway Workers/Welder used (good condition), but only for reference on pics for sale EUR 10,00 (both) http://www.buntbahn.de/fotos/data/8277/3520150809-Preiser-Arbeiter-klein.jpg Gn15 loco Diese...

I use almost any polyclay I can find for my figures and as I have a bit too much of it I usuallly mix my own. It's fairly old, but can be softened by mixing mineral oil in it. Off the shelf PREMO is my favorite for working small like this. Super sculpey is better for fine detail, but it's also not ...

Chris,

I very much like your nano layout, especially considering the shortage of time you had ...

And I'm curious what kind of "putty" you used, creating the figures. Is it sculpey - and if so: what type would you recommend?

Cheers

a picture of my loco, hauling some lava. dsc09190.jpg I loaded it to mygn15; where is it? JR .. I assume, you simply did not use the whole path and did not put the link in image-tags?! To make pics visible here, you have to link them as follows: [img]...path.../dsc09190.jpg[/img] "Path" m...
