O'Neils with another name

Jose, great recovery!! I also like the fence. Is that faded graffiti?? Phil

jmanugo

Yeah, something like that Phil.
Paint worn by time, paper posters peeled off by the weather, humidity in the lower areas, ...

I keep progressing with the details of the tank, and the oil supply pipe.

I can just feel that rust on the supply pipe. Fantastic.......Rick

The timber edges look great, as does everything else

ALCO

Now that’s 3-D rust!

I hope those pipes are safe for whatever is flowing thru them and not burst. Looks unsafe to me with ll the rust.

Jose,

It just keeps getting better and better, if that is even possible. Hopefully, none of this most recently posted exquisite detail will be hidden behind the wooden fence in your final diorama.

Joe, I'll certainly keep an eye on your build for ideas as I complete my O'Neills build. Phil

TomMich

Outstanding!

jmanugo

Thanks Tom.

Very good Phil. In the link I put in the first post are all the photos from the beginning in case you want to take a look.

Base for the diorama. It is lined with a 0.12 inch DM. It is somewhat larger than the template provided by Brett.
And a few small details.

Incredible!

Lovely modelling. The rusted pipe is outstanding. Looking forward to all the little details.

looks fantastic.

Thanks friends for the comments.

I have started to glue and decorate the track and that is how it remains.

Unbelievable detail on the trackwork. What did you use for the track nails - an nbw? (nuts, bolts, washers). Phil

Dave_S

Jose,
Nice trackwork. Saw that you correctly spaced the ties at the location of the rail jointer.

Small details like this show careful attention to detail and make for a very realistic scene.

Great detail work on the rail and ties, etc

Robert.G

Idem...

Very nice.

jmanugo

Hi friends, thanks for your comments.

Phil, the track is plastic, everything is joined in one piece except the rails.

Flex trac?

jmanugo

Yes, it is flexible track. Roco brand, code 83 of H0.
It differs from the USS track in the gap between the sleepers which is wider, and the length of the sleepers, which in this case is shorter, having a width of 1.1811 inches.

I forgot to mention that the flanges that join the rails are made of photo-etched brass.

The track is the same as the one in this photo, but the one in the photo is a rigid track. The joint plates between the two tracks are those of the brand.



Greetings.

Jose, it's amazing how you turned plastic flex track into something as beautiful as that. Unbelievable. I really, really like it. Phil

jmanugo

Hello guys.

Thanks Phil. There are many layers of paint and the process is very slow.

After a short absence, I make little progress with Balboa. Little but I like it.






Greetings.

Jose, you give a whole new meaning to extraordinary. That is so wonderful.
