hi
looking at the paint job i feel that the rsj that support the whole structure is too red it should be painted a darker colour,but great subject.
kind regards kim

Test fitting .. think I will carve out some of the bank to move everything to the right .. and dang that's dusty! Whew

It has been a long time since we have seen that diorama. Now we know why you want the turbine. Glad you're back at it. -- Russ

Ed good to see this come to life again.  Great diorama.

Very interesting project,  looks good.  One question, how are you planning on taking up the tension on the belt?

Bill,
I had thought about that .. and put it aside. Hmmm. I need a smaller tension pulley to do that. Once I have both transmission pulleys in place I need to insert the tension pulley in the center .. before the belt. In the meanwhile .. I cut into the bank to set the pulley support in place. Once I am happy with it, I can glue it in place - which will effectively tell me where the second support will go. Once that is done I need to finish adding the control handles to the turbine and cement that in place too. Then I can 'boil' the water around everything. Notice that under the layout lighting the colors aren't so saturated as earlier photos taken on my work bench.

Very nice and unusual - like the rust

Ummm .. took a pic the other day - better view of the scene
