From My Workbench









Well it is a new year, and I thought I would share my latest creation, the sawmill complex. This one took about 8 months to complete. it comprises of several BTS kits and the master creations sawmill I had earlier in this blog. It is now installed at the RR club I am a member of.

The mill pond, note the water lilies and cat tails in front of the pump house.


The plaster cloth is being used to rebuild the area that I demo'ed to introduce this module.




Just some night shots because they look cool...

Well off to the workbench to see what I can come up with on convention in June in Houston....

Beautiful! I love the nighttime shots. You can almost hear the blade running.

I like the pattern of the water in the pond. Nice and turbulent, as I would expect it to be.

I wish I could see it in real life!
