Good evening. It´s been a while since I posted something, but those of you who can find me on fb might have seen some of my latest works. The GRF is of course a much better fora, as it´s slower, and you can line up your progress

in a continius row (however it´s a lot easier to share pictures on fb)
And now to the ongoing 7/8 project: Find these things in your home, and you can start on your own 7/8 rw.

Lowsy pict but I guess you can see what it is..

And now for the solution: Sacks, a broom and some bowls(or tubs?)

Happy new year to you all.
Here is a pict from my workshop. I find it suitable to produce as much track as possible this time of year. I got to get the last ballonloop finnished to make my 7/8 rw completed.

The work with the boxvan is almost completed. A bit more job with the brown colour and some lettering, I think. On this pict I´m testing indoors with my Rustondiesel wich has got a new motor.

And now for a guessing competition:

This is the top part of a chandelier bougt on a fleamarket for half a pound. What am I going to build?

Have to add; It was Peter Butler who tipped me of the "Awnuts" forum. There I learned that chandeliers was a useful material

Maybe so.... but you have me on this one!

St.Michael · Post by **St.Michael** » Sat Mar 05, 2016 5:46 pm

Ok. Then I did this. Any bells ringing?

Peter Butler · Post by **Peter Butler** » Sat Mar 05, 2016 6:53 pm

Sorry but no bells at the moment!
I must have missed the post which showed this particular item... please let us see more.

St.Michael · Post by **St.Michael** » Sat Mar 05, 2016 7:40 pm

Well, I´m a bit proud of this one, and I haven´t seen the actual thing elsewhere. Just the idea of using parts of chandeliers. I think it is possible to transfer it into other scales
