Deal Tickling Dailymotion

Staging yards (second part)

The work continued with the application of a vetronite support for the track - to that already applied at the head of the form - and a double layer of cork.
vetronite the support was, right now, made an incision to isolate electrically the two rails.


The staging will be controlled by a single switch point of this disposititvo Caboose Industries, in the photo you can see the shifter and accessories on the left (thick and terminations to be connected to the control lever to the linkage of the various commercial switches).


This accessory is not allows you to power / polarize the hearts of the Atlas switches 55 that have the particular design to present the heart (full metal) already electrically isolated.


The site used all'ATSF - Route 66 (GP 7 and subsequent versions, SD 40 and later versions) should not present problems during the transit operation on the heart is not powered, otherwise it will replace that command with version equipped with contacts.
The structure of the staging was completed with a chafing of the rolling stock, made from strips of wood with a section of 9x50 mm. The part of
strip near the head of the staging was smoothed with a coping saw in this way.


A carpentry work completed ...

Nadine Jansen On The Pool

Staging yard (first part)

The design of the model will undergo a change.
In order to increase the opportunities for exercise, namely to allow the game simultaneously with two crew made up of two players each, along with Denny decided that I will develop a model L, with a fixed module (that already made) and a mobile that will be placed aside as provided in the old project and during the game will be the continuation of the existing east side.
The staging yard - just one - will be located on the west side and will, as before, be mobile, because it is located opposite the entrance door of the bedroom.
To achieve the staging I, therefore, concerned to find, in the first logo, solutions, coupling / uncoupling of the staging, which may prove faster and safer for the safety of rail vehicles.
for attaching the head to the staging of the form I solved with the help of a metal L-bracket on the anchor bracket and part of which was excised (The red line is the cutoff).


The bracket is then secured with four screws as photos.


The L-bracket was anchored to the floor of the staging (list of fir planed perfectly flat section 2x9, 5 cm and 130 cm length) with two wood screws. Hook once installed no games of any kind.


The support on the opposite side of the staging was, however, solved with solutions similar to those used for anchoring the module (stick to the wall and swing arm) and with the help of this accessory.


In this case, the anchor is stable.

How to eliminate the cracks at the base of the buildings

Richard Oliver writes in May 2003 on TTM: "... a mistake ... (and very common on plastic) relates to the arrangement of buildings on the ground. I've noticed with alarming continuity, whether live or on specialized publications, homes and buildings quasivoglia type (maybe played with admirable commitment and precision) that literally "flying" on the ground with a clear separation along the line of the basis for an imperfect bonding. Which in itself denotes a particular absolute lack of realism because each building (which is not a Canadian) is obviously always linked with ground continuity along the walls .... "
Since then I have never failed to notice this particular realization though, to be fair, the papers published in foreign periodicals like Model Railroader and other affiliates, Loco Revue (those that usually read) is quite unusual to see similar shortcomings.
To avoid unforgivable mistake, since my first property I have, therefore, sought a method and a particular product, simply, I will remove any cracks that affect to a greater or lesser degree all the kit building / facilities or all of these couplings between the ground of the model / diorama.
right now I have discarded the traditional "pro" continuous grass because, in truth, rarely has a property vegetation throughout its entire perimeter.
Wanting to give priority to ease of use, I also deleted modeling products such as stucco or wood putty because of their low adhesion, because fewer workers than other solutions may require sands of Tura and color are often not suitable (for Milliput Superfine example is white and, therefore, when applied calls for a touch of color appearance of the treated area).
fillers are not suitable for buildings when they mate on the basis of clay and those of finer texture, however, would require several applications to fill the slots that are marked.
Even in this case use of "cousins" plasimodellisti and borrowed a very simple method that they use to eliminate some of the cracks between the joints with a kit of parts, namely the use of glue.
In this case the grouting operation is very smooth and quick.
Starting with a building already glued to the base.

with a toothpick apply a small amount of glue around the perimeter.

Remove the excess with a moistened Q-tips water without leaving too much pressure on the junction that is produced in abundance slightly (the glue in contrast to the stucco loses In fact, a lot of volume when dried, so that the larger cracks may require more applications). With the same method I also plastered the junction of walls and roof of the building.

The next day, the work can be completed with a dirtying the base of the building with pigments or the like.

If you do not want to use when aging and the classic appearance of the dried glue (white / gray semi-transparent) should not be compatible with that of the building or the land is sufficient to add the glue, before its application a small amount of acrylic color color-compatible with the parties to be filled, possibly by preceding the application from a test on materials Waste choosing the right colors.

Woman Strangled Clips

Installing fascia and drawers knobs

In recent days I have had the opportunity to continue their work. With lists
wooden square 2x2 cm and 9 cm Length of tray I made the headband.


In masonite strips of 10 cm in height and at the cable pullers, I played the holes with hole saw 38 mm in diameter.


The edge of the holes was then sanded and reinforced with touches of very diluted white glue. With the same glue (and only with the help of clamps and weights), I then set the bands at the front of the module.


the corners of the module lists masonite were connected together using wooden rods 3 mm in diameter, glued and grouted (always with only glue) as shown in photo.


The choice of the knobs of drawers fell on this model that has a central hole of 4 mm.


To apply all the knobs at the same distance from the perimeter of the module list and perfectly perpendicular to it was enough to insert between the knob and the list of constant wall thickness.


The difference between the diameter of the cable puller (2 mm) and the knob hole (4 mm) allows easy centering of the handle during installation. The use of superglue gel helps in the operation of fine tuning.


staining band will run only in the finished plastic.

How To Make Hibachi Scallops

Aging with crayons Carbothello

One of the most known and probably used in the model to simulate leakage of various kinds (mostly rust) is what provides the use of oil paints.
On a base finished with gloss clear apply, with a very fine brush, a tiny point of paint undiluted subsequently "pulls" the color with a dry brush or lightly moistened with thinner until reaching the desired result and then you seal the color with a second hand lens (this time opaque).
This technique has advantages (above all, the glossy finish allows easy adjustments during the process) but the drawback of requiring long processing times (at least one or two days of waiting for the complete drying of the base and two to three for the oil) and a good dose of manual skills and experience of the modeller to achieve good results.
Recently, a plastimodellista Italian, Pierfrancesco Grizi - "aeroplanaro" very active on some Italian forum - has introduced a new technique to create sagging, dirtying and nuances of color that involves the use of pastels produced by Carbothello Stabilo.
Carbothello I have pencils whose soul is made of a material midway between charcoal and lead pencil. They are available in stores materials for fine arts and are available in 60 shades , including many lands and many gray (hot and cold).
The huge advantage that these pastels allow the model - especially for those who work with very small scales such as model trains in N, or 1 / 72 in plastimodellismo - is the extreme precision and ease of use of the instrument and determination of the product.
To make a casting, in fact, just make a section on the model surface, with a light hand, then with a stiff brush, dry it go the distance (with dry-brush-like motion) vanishing at will. Colors can be easily stacked together.
process, prealtro is totally reversible if the job does not suit, the section can be completely removed with a Q-tips moistened with plain water.
The only care is to apply the pastel on a strictly opaque.
the purpose of constructing buildings ATSF-Route 66 and the aging of carts and place, I wanted to try this technique using as a model caburanti deposit that I made recently for a module shudders. The idea is to apply rust dripping on the walls of the tanks.


For the test I've got (relatively easily) with a dozen pastel shades of brown and gray.

and a swab for decoupage stetole with short and stiff (can also go to a traditional brush must be cut in the terminal resistor side of the bristles)

To reproduce the effect of casting, I applied a first base of Light Ochre (code 685) over a large area

then blend with the swab

to which I have superimposed a second fine line of Burnt Umber (code 625) but also shaded with a lighter hand

The small dark spots (Bister made with cod. 635) simulating the rusty spots giving rise to the leakage.

A variant of the technique involves the use of a brush (not mutilated) moistened with water to brush up on suddenly with a gesture similar to what you do because it "pulls" the oil.

Reproduction of land in accordance Manfred Neurauter

Manfred Neurauter is a good model trains Austrian member of the N-Track, whose US-style form, the last edition of Modell south of Stuttgart, has received a major recognition within the contest held by the association Inganet.

addition to being a model with excellent technical skills, especially with regard to the creation of scenery, Manfred is very nice and helpful person, and during the event - in which I have plots the quality of its form - to my request of which were the methods used to develop the land, has not, in fact, hesitated a few moments to set up in a short practice session where he showed a simple, effective and rapid implementation, so fast that I have had many difficulties in collecting a sequence of images of various stages of processing. Since
the quality of the photographs seem acceptable to me I decided to repeat that sequence Blog ATSF-Route 66. To reproduce the ground
Neurauter does not use commercial products but very earth collection at various sites (from the backyard to the most diverse in the U.S.) properly sifted and divided by color and grain.
In this first photo a number of soil samples

Laying operations begin sprinkling the area to be treated with an initial fine earth tone which ...

... is superimposed only on some areas, a second layer of earth more clear (also fine), in order to break the monotony of color

for texture variations, some areas of land are covered with earth tone compatible with previous but coarser

...
low vegetation is played using the Woodland Scenics Coarse Turf (in this case the Noch repackaged d) in two colors, the light could be a Burnt Grass or Green Light and the darkest or a Medium Green Dark Green. The image is placed on Coarse clearer
....

which still follows the ground coarse but the lighter color

then Coras darker

finally, to secure land and foam is first sprinkled the area with water using a sprayer

glue and then with very dilute

Ultimately, with one step, are carried out both the ground (with areas of different color and texture) and vegetation (in different colors) .

This is the result of the method applied to the plastic.

In closing a short series of other images of the form.
