crazyrichard Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 gluid it together and then some bondo , some styrene and some sanding later the rough base is done now all the details need to be done

crazyrichard Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 some progress , the gold colored rod is a gitar snare and looks like thread , need to make it straight though
crazyrichard Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 added more detail , need to make some levers under the control panel and make the clamp in the rotating disc
crazyrichard Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 added a light , clamp , and some other stuff .. then painted it base green , now i need to ad the other colors and chrome and steel
crazyrichard Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 and almost done , i need to ad some details like a brush , some metal filings (scraps) , tools and some other small stuff added a green on and red off switch on the control panel , and a emergency stop .. i want to thank randy d for the inspiration i got inspiration from him but tried to make it into my own design .. washed the metal with chrome so its lights up more when light hits it
crazyrichard Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 lol thnx and well i'm still learning stuff ... and i get some great inspiration here on the forums
crazyrichard Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 worked some more on the mill , made some parts chrome so now i have green , metal and chrome. also added 2 pieces of hand tools somebody layed there in a rush , tools used pesific on a mill will follow later added some scrap iron from milling and also did that on the colom drill and added a bucket next to that with drill waste (alu) also glued a real lense in the worklight of the mill but i can only get that on a picture when its daylight and its not atm here in holland
bpletcher55 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 RICHARD, you need to stop shrinking real things and calling them models . fantastic work man this diorama is sweet!.
crazyrichard Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) hahaha lol thnx for the great compliment blair now the mill is done i started on a simple item a degreaser table to degrease / clean parts . this will sit next to the drums in the oil section Edited March 17, 2013 by crazyrichard
Tony T Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 The mill turned out great! The parts cleaning station looks great, too! I really like the details you are putting into this. Very cool.
crazyrichard Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 thnx tony finished the degreaser table thing ( ) changed the legs and at the back kept the block so i can glue it on the floor that is flat back so it doesnt stand out .. kept this one real simple and in the same looks as the rest of the oil / grease area ...
crazyrichard Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 and went on with the welder changed it into a mig welder instead of with a stick .. added a frnt wall on the cart with handle , straps on the gas cilinders (wanted chains but dint have something) a spare coil with wire but i need to redo the wire since this was made out of a few shorter peices i could not get it tight on there so that will be changed some ambiance pictures
crazyrichard Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 started a english wheel , desingwise its lead from what parts i had laying in the partsboxes not done ...yet
crazyrichard Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 some base weathering , red wheel holders and chrome roller wheels
rmvw guy Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 The more I look, the more awesome it gets. You have a well equipped garage Richard.
crazyrichard Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 thnx ron ! when i went on the lowbudget chopperbuild forum i'm a member off some experts in metalshaping said the kickwheel and rollers looked awsome ut the thing needed to be strenghtened so i cut of the old and made a whole new plate that runs from top to botton with a curve.. maybe if i would take a whole day i could make one even better but my goal is to make some simpler equipment since i have so much to make .. and some stuff more detailed .. in the end lots of people weld some english wheels together with function over form
crazyrichard Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 and gave it some washes / drybrushing again and the staff jumped up out of their chairs to test it out .. one grabbed a piece of aluminium sheetmetal and in no time got a nice curve >>
Tony T Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 You've done some very cool pieces for this, Richard! Everytime I look it seems you've put together another mini masterpiece!! I gotta ask...what's left to do?
