Hitching Rides On Sailboats

Sundry in August

In recent days I have continued to be built on several key points.

first the "entrance" to the cast house by the water tower

was here replaced the old ramp with a new one, she also got her the same interlocking concrete pavement. Right at the edge to the cast house now created the foundations for the new pillars. They replace the crane rail pillar of Trix-converter building and also form the supports for the crane runway of Kokskübelkrans. The prototype of these pillars is already set up a test.



The same area again. The S-system building on the left gets just a renovation, see below. The track at this building was eingepflastert.



second the mainstay of Cast house and the Kokskübelkranbahn

Here we have a good comparison between the old columns (in foreground) and the "Next Generation". Of which I have to build in several slight variations.



third -The "Palette arcade" under the S-system building

look at the cast house, with the casting machine, next to the "arcade" as a shelf for several pallets. The pictures without flash I like really good, because the mood to play much better than the tough flash pictures ... I will now often do so.



New columns and cornices, all still not primed and virgin.

Kidney Pain From Std?



a weekend in which no other activities were due to a dental surgery can have my wife, I used to take me at last to venture to the tilting of the casting machine. I have long pushed in front of me, because I did not know if I ever fix that thing. Here, first, as usual, one or two views of the original:





And now the result of my efforts have not quite finished, but already well advanced.





The flash shows wiedermal relentlessly, where were still gaps in the first coat:



Here two photos of the construction, built entirely with my favorite material.



In the foreground one of my infamous "plans", hand sketch on a scale of 1:1. Of these things then I take off angles and dimensions, model builders right now is probably bad. I'm like.



as lookup or a photo of the "hood".
