Hi Guys,

time has come.
Tomorrow i take the ready milled wooden plates in my flat.

And the- "Let the games begin"
Today i got the background picture and i think this is the right one for my theme.- Fance in the 50ties-.
6m x0,4m for only 30€. Thats a good price i think.

The only things i have to do! cut them in the widht and the height and glue them on the board. And cover the electicity pylons.



And that is what i bought this morning for 8€, These are from the Siku classicline and the normal price is nearly 25€
thus I intend something special

Hi Black3sr,

nearly, the tractor will drive on the plate and will perform its work!

When it´s ready i´ll make a little video

Today I have to model the heights only once begun with the underbody by bars and borders. Photos come later

I have also equivalent times a question at you. How do I get a difference in height of 15cm with a length of 40cm with 12 cm MDF?

Water or stomething like that?

I have no idea.

Both are good ideas,

I´ll try it with the slots on the underside and a little bit of water, so that I receive a flowing transition.
That the water does attack the MDF is not badly, since that becomes a way occupied with "crushed stone"

I will report!!!!

Morning erverybody,

yesterday i started with the underbody, specially with the different hight in front of the track.

right the road becomes the village and beside it comes directly a increased dirt road, surface with grass and sand


the crossing becomes an approach road to the palace, which I already presented to you in my pictures treath


Before my mental eye I today already know, how will look and as soon as the Slotplatte is applied it for you becomes intended also easier

Oh, that becomes a single track with a length of approx. 23m

Hi Lars,

thank you and I know that it´s a nice Room
,
the house was build in 1903 and i searched for a flat like that for more than 2 years.

i´ll try to give you a spring stream


@all

I´ve just finished the underbody.
For a test times the timber bridge, the palace and the vineyard posed on their final place. And think it looks better as i tought.
Now i have to saw a lot at the Slotplate. Try some sawing today, "HELLO neighbours"


Here are more pics



Criticism desired

Hi Boys,

The entire village square receives a surface from a stonemade road surfacing, which i realise whith my Dremel. The village square is driven through per round 4times. " Entry to the box lane! (Gas station, has those stop re-designed is just like TF/MM) provided with a switch opening and in the rear part also still is in.

The track lenght is nearly 30m on round about 5squaremeter.

Yes, the dremel is my and also your friend, i think


Today some more made. The background picture on the village side and the sidewalks.
With the background I must get still with color to around a uniform picture.
With the stonemade surfacing I already began and Duct cover at the roadside milled with my "Dremel"
,- I love this tool.

And here are the pics of my daily work





The round holes in the sidewalks are made for trees, which i want to "plant" in there

Hi Umbra,

Do not do it to you! Those are approx. 20cm ² and I approximately needed 2 hours

Hope that i don´t have to buy too much drills.
for mySlot i bought 4 drills each for 15€.
and i thought that 2 are enough.

Today i fixed the second part.

Sorry , but today no big report, cause i´m a little bit sleepy. I used for this side nearly 5 Hours, because nothing works like i want to.

One of my cats stud behind me and i didn´t know it, so as i want to stay up, i fell over her and killed one slot. But that´s no problem i think.
But the many diffrent hights make it very natural.

i´m absolutly happy about that. The bridges and the rest of the slots i fix in the next few days, i hope.

@Per

i´ll make a new threat and try to explain the build of a house. But that in the next week. Have a lot of work with my profession this week.











Sorry about the quality of the images, these are made with my mobilfone

Hi r3ko,

I use these two forms, trapezoidally and cylindrically.

cylindrically for the long straight grooves,-
for the short transverse grooves stones make - trapezoidal

nearly
- 3km milled
- 8 drills
- 30 hr.
- some injuries of the drills on the hands -
1 well filled vacuum cleaner bag
and about 1 million stones later
i have the surfacing on the market place finally finished.

Now I can begin with the coloured organization of the place.
light-grey for the sidewalks
anthracite coal for the street surfacing
white-grey for the small marble surface before the church

Someone a better - other idea which the colors concerns?
