Since I want to issue to-morrow on Sunday 09/04/2011 in my model convent gallery, I have the unit mounted to the sample times.

What a show day is always a good test for the Was Built To test for functionality.


Overview of exhibition mounted.
As in the real tunnel monastery is also a registry office, I have such a scene recreated a photo after the ceremony, also in the model.


Sample mounted for exhibition.


Swivel base with aging, such as the prototype of the beams was also secured with a chain.

Well, yes ... but these things take time!  Meanwhile, you have made a lot of progress on your model ... and it is becoming a very interesting diorama.  -- Dallas

Meanwhile, I have a lot of work at my house done, at the breaks my model make progress, but so it's gone a little further.


Track not so empty look, has been built the Waggons.


The wall is also produced from stone wall stiffeners.


Meanwhile, the insight into the pit arisen.

Now it continues with the interior of pit and to color scheme ist the next Work.
Also on the Waggons, there are still a lot of work.

Masterful. But, as my wife would ask, "How much money did you earn from building it?"

Women!

Just to set the record straight: My wife never asks for money. But she sees no point in spending any significant time on unprofitable pursuits. It's a cultural thing. -- Russ

As a small addendum, an image of the original coal mine.

In Future it should look so in to my model.
But first I must go now measure, so that I can really resemble the original.

Luckily I have the best wife in the world that accepts everything.

So it continues.


View of shaft II, this view there will be so no more later.

But yes, I want to represent the workover of shaft II and for that I need miners.


Basis for modeling, I use these Preiser track workers from 1900.


By milling work and 2K spatula, and they were rejuvenated by more than 100 years.
It must still be made the painting.

Meanwhile, I managed to finish the bucket and so the question is answered.


The bucket goes down.


Of course it works, and the slide can be actuated via the handle.
