Hello everyone,
I recently finished this dio of a kit bash I did on an old Sheepscot HO scale kit. I enjoy water scenes and have built several others.
Comments welcome.

Hey thanks for posting picts of your Dio and welcome to the forum.
I love the outdoor setting of your pictures.
The one thing that jars my eye is the minimal amount of timbering under that steel tank
that I presume holds some form of liquid at about 8 lbs per gallon.
Very nice work, and again welcome, and thanks for the great picts of your work
Rick

Congratulations on a great model that was photographed skillfully. just ask why show the weather vanes in different directions or deceive me something?

Thank you Rick, Russ and Helmut. Appreciate your comments.
Rick- The support framing under the fuel tank is supposed to be angled steel. It was supplied in the kit etched brass and soldered together. Agreed it is a bit thin.
Helmut- Thank you for noticing the weathervane issue. That was not intentional, I will repair.

Now those night shots are great.
Lighting makes all the difference, when bringing a scene to life.
Thanks for sharing.

That's some very fine modeling - especially in H0 scale. And I agree: the night shots bring it to life, ever since. The only major giveaway are the ship's and derrick's ropes in the first both pictures, which to my eyes are a bit to thick and don't follow a natural pendulous habit. Which isn't easy to achieve, admittedly. What did you use for it? Maybe you could try lead wire which comes in diametres down to 0.2 mm or even less. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks again Rick. Thank you Volker. The ropes are indeed a tad big and were common sewing thread. However, they were tight until I brought them outdoors for these photos. I live on the gulf coast of Florida and the humidity caused the sagging. As soon as I returned indoors, they became tight once again.  For the derrick, I actually used brass wire. Appreciate your input! |
