hobbybobby Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 And it goes on... Somehow, such builds vaporize me a lot of time in searching, choosing the right equipment and parts... As in the following example... This is a window shutter made from LEGO... Since I made the window first, the shutter was now too wide, I had to reduce it a bit... ... and the same with four pieces... ... primed flat black... ... and then dry brushed... ... and mounted on the window Frame... Stay tuned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbybobby Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thank you very much! And it goes on... I'm looking everywhere for means and things that make it easier for me to make appropriate parts I need for my builds... These are the holder of earring plugs... ... and after I have these flattened in a vice... ... I make from these, new, not functioning, only indicated, hinges for the rear doors... Stay tuned...

hobbybobby Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 And it goes on... First, I wanted to paint the interior, but then i sanded the primer in the interior... ... in order to redecorate it... These are the new wallpaper- parts, cut from decorative paper... ... slightly refined... ... and finally wallpapered... Hope, you like it so far, stay tuned...

Dave Van Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 LOVE the Lego parts!!! I use Lego lamp shades in my O scale trains. About 5 cents each vs $2-3 if you buy 'O scale' lamp shades!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbybobby Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thank you very much for the kind words! And it goes on... Here is another detail, so that the chimney makes sense... ... and for the cold days... ... an old barrel and a few small things... ... complete and refined... ... with some iron Color... ... and installed in its place...

mrm Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I love it. There is nothing more I like, than seeing various things from around us that were not intended for models to find their way to a custom, fun build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr mopar Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Very nice work I want to do this too ..................... Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbybobby Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Thank you very much for the kind words! And it goes on... Initially, I thought the most difficult in this project, will be the roof.... ... simply bend a plate and stick it to the lodge... ... would be a possibility... ... but, well, what is about the structure? Hmm... It started with a "matching" PVC pipe... ... edited it outside and inside on the lathe... ... I cut it then in the length, slightly more than half of the diameter, about 2mm over the radius, and cut off a piece, about the same angle, on front and rear... ... inside, the two lines show, where the house will have its place... Outside, I first sketched with a scriber, a structure... Then I worked out the wells, first rough with my Dremel... ... and after that, refined all with different files and sandpaper... ... then I glued a central roof bar and drilled a hole for the chimney pipe... ... now it's ready and primed for painting... Hope, you like it so far, stay tuned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbybobby Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Thank you all very much for the kind comments, I really do appreciate them! And it goes on... After the primer has dried, now comes the real challenge: the painting, which shows all the structure... Dry brush with various Colors... ... a little more refined... ... I have it also painted from the inside... ... this is a metal sleeve... ... shortened to the desired length... ... and planted at the final Destination... Hope, you like it so far, stay tuned...

hobbybobby Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 And it goes on... The house and roof are now united, i installed some ornate roof supports, these come also from the Royal Rail kit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbybobby Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thank you very much for the kind words! And it goes on... And here is another example, i spent some time and a lot of work, that is at the end, not really noticed... I edit each spoke from the inner side with my scalpel knife, to let the whole appear a little slimmer and make them look at least somewhat like spokes... Stay tuned...

hobbybobby Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thank you very much! And it goes on... For the round Windows, I had to try a little, until I could punch out the appropriate diameter... These, with the white protective film are made of Makrolon®, and these, with the blue are made of PET... ... i turned four aluminum rings, with a small escarpment... ... these are the parts required for a window... ... first, i primed the rings... ... and then painted... Stay tuned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbybobby Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Finally, I mounted the windows at their destination: At the back... ... to the front... ... and a view from the inside... Hope, you like it, stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbybobby Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 And it goes on... Until recently, the fork from my donor kit, looked like this: The Li'l Gypsy Wagon- fork has openings: ... so I thought, I'd do that too... ... well, that was more difficult than I thought... ... to carve the recesses in the assembled state, was not a good idea... ... but, with a little patience and time... ... and, well, from planned, rounded openings, emerged very fast, some angulars... Well, after a while, I like now the fork, I hope you like it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
