Those individual loads are amazing! Even after seeing your module in person, I am always in awe when you post photos. The amount of detail is just incredible. Robert love the idea of a mixed size load. I was checking out versions that have two stacks with a space in the middle. I need to find some new art! Rob
Thank You Robert and all you guys for the help . One thing I found that works well for making the wood loads that are not covered when you don't have a laser to help is to use 1/32" thick wood with a 1/32" scribe on it . The wood I used is from Northeastern Scale Lumber Company. I used 6 slices just like Robert said to and it looks really great. After the glue was dried, I took a number 11 blade and carefully scorded the ends 90 degrees to the stack lines to make the end look more like single pieces of wood. The 1/32" scribe looks great for 2 x 4's and the 1/16" scribe looks great as 2 x 12's. I will post a few photos when I can find my camera. Its here some where. haha Sluggers aka
Your comment Rob caused me to pause a few moments and look really close again at Robert's pictures and I think you said it so well...."The amount of detail is just incredible". Robert has done an outstanding job on this module and one would be very hard pressed to find fault with any of Robert's work in any area. Robert is a great example of a modeler who takes great pains to make something as good as possible and he has certainly captured the flavor of a working mill. Next time I will get to view this again in person most likely will be NTS 2015 in Portland if he brings it to show. This series of photos does belong as a feature article in MR.
