 Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2009 6:42 pm Post subject: Wilesco Saw/Metal Mill build |
 |
|
I am Getting some Wilesco tools and I want to build a saw / metal working mill. I will get a few more and a lineshaft in the future!
I was planning to get some twigs and stick the down and some metal off cuts. And maybe some saw dust
I will post the progress here!
Here are the tools which I just have to pay for (thanks kev)!
Has anyone got any extra ideas. To make it realistic and detailed?

Just make a backdrop for them so they look like they are working in a shop.

Can I suggest some adjacent work benches with model tools on such as scissors.
If you haven't bought a lineshaft yet I would recommend mounting a high level one like the workshop at STIA. More prototypical and less acres of driving bands. A few Meccano bits will suffice.

I got alot done at school today 
I found a base and Got some wood to make some walls!
The tools arrived too!
The new base
The side walls marked up!
A check to see if everything fits!
(for some reason the camera makes the bases of the tools look blue but they are actually grey!)

The brick looks good, the other is modern, good project.

There are places on the net that have downloadable Dollhouse wallpaper too, might be some good bricks or files for the floor
