Cheers woody, it's taken ages to get back into the swing!

Only a little progress to show, making some office furniture now. Two days of making various bits of balsa and hardwood and our man has a desk !

The lamp does work, it has a filament bulb from an old digital watch, I think there's a pic of it lit up a few pages back !!

Loads to do, more soon,

Insanely brilliant stuff, Si, keep at it! I hope all had a Happy Christmas! I didn't receive any kits, but I did snag a bit of bob to buy some (I put out the not so subtle hint that money was a more than welcome substitute for an actual gift).

Regards,

Jason

Cheers Jason, and a happy New Year!

A tiny bit more prog in the office. Made a chair and did some finishing of the wood with some walnut oil, looks ok but smells great !!

A chair earlier :-

Also made a sort of typewriter for on the desk:-

On the desk with the lamp lit, the walnut oil has brought out some nice grain:-

It's gonna' take forever this build !!

Great to see you back working on this again Si! Great progress and that typewriter is bonkers! I trust you will be painting the correct cyrylic alphabet characters on the keys?

It has been a while since I saw your build. Its just too cool. Typerwriter is tops.

The whole dio is coming along nicely.

Cheers guys, more on the way soon!

 

I must admit I've become a little bogged-down with this build, so much detail to add but I'm determined to get there!

Keep at it, Si!  I, for one, can't wait to see where this all leads.  Brilliant work with the tiny furniture.  This is like a dollhouse for grownups!

 

Regards,

 

Jason

 

 

P.S.  I agree with Martin; if the typewriter doesn't have the correct Cyrillic characters, it just won't seem accurate!

Thanks chaps, getting any characters on the keys is beyond me, I rekon Nobby might be able to though!!

 

 

 

Some more furniture and stuff earlier :-

Between this thread, the 1/32 B29 and the Huey Medevac threads, I am geting seriously overdosed on Awesome.

Don't look at me Si! even i would have trouble getting the characters on the keys!  :hypnotised:  :D 

 

You really ought to think about making bespoke dolls house furniture for a bit of spare money though! Its brilliant! Not just the furniture either, that workshop is something else! Are you going to put knobs on the doors from pin heads? 

Posted

Cheers guys, glad your liking it !!

 

Good idea with the pin-heads for knobs Nobby, I do enjoy making the twiddley bits, as for doll's house stuff the missus has already put in a request !!

 

 

A wee bit of weathering on the stove:-

Love the stove! Have you thought of using incense to give a working affect?

Nice job on the stove Si! I could do with one like that in my room, It's freezing in here! :cold:  :D

Thought you may have put a bulb in that and may be some scrunched up wrapper like from quality street you know the clear red or orange!

That's not  a bad idea, metal stove pipe on the outside and some way of concealing the stick, might have a go at that!

 

I'm glad to see this build moving forward again! Can't wait to see the result.

 

Regards,

Adrian

Thanks Adrian, I'm still trying for an overall Soviet feel!

 

The stove is fabulous. Just the ting for a Russian winter.

Cheers Don.

There will be a filament lamp in there with a flickery driver to give it a random effect, some sweetie wrapper sounds spot on!

 

Tonight I thought I'd have a go at a 1930/40-ish compressor. A few more bits and some paint should see this done:-

I'm still plugging away, done some bits on the hangar internal walls and stuff, think I go a bit too daft with these dio's of mine !!

Here's a pic of the compressor I've managed to finish and managed to get the little motor in the lath running !

There really will be more soon, honest !
