Lovely machinery, I look forward to seeing some color although your styrene work is almost too nice to cover.

These are wonderful builds. Very crisp and clean, and nicely detailed. Can't wait to see them in paint.

Did you use machines to build these machines? I know that sounds funny but I always wonder how they made the first precision machines. Don’t you need a precision machine to make one? Great job by the way!

Nonsense! Everyone knows worms don't have feet! |

A question that has often crossed my mind. I suppose that with a machine precise to the nth degree you can make one precise to the (n+1)th degree and that explains how progress is possible. |

Waiting for paint to dry on the workshop machines - so a start has been made on the Workshop floors a stone slab type and a planked section for the engine shed - the stone slabs are made of 40 thou Styrene with 10 and 5 thou styrene skins on the top surface to give a worn look - the machine bases are 40thou styrene laminated to form a raised concrete base for the larger machines.The sleepers should be thicker but I was governed by the thickness of the stone floor - but the sleepers will be in a yard area and buried in the ground so the thickness will be hidden (did not think to make the stone floor thicker)

Very nice effect using the two layers of styrene for the stones. Again, can't wait for "colored" photos.

Beautiful machinery! Some color to those and the floor will make this an outstanding model and then the shed and workshop of course. Great work Barney! Anders  |

The floor looks great...can you give us a quick description (or sbs) on how you acchieved this? Really one of the best floors like this I have seen. I have never seen one done in styrene...and still can't believe it is from looking at it.

I agree with Marc. Your use of styrene is both innovative and artistic. -- Russ
