Shadowlands and Tellynott

[Mark Dalrymple]

Hi guys.

Photo 1 - Here I am making up the side walls for the enclosed conveyor to transport the catch of the day from the low wharf up to the old fishery factory.  This was the only photo I took of the tower construction.  I was obviously on a mission that day!


Photo 2 - This is the original plan of the set of stairs to the second story door on the side of the tower.  As I got halfway through the build I changed my mind.


Photo 3 - The half way point.  I made up the lower string of stairs and they fitted perfectly, height wise, at right angles to the landing.  I though the looked good this way and it was much easier.


Photo 4 - The second string of stairs in place with 4x4 posts attached.


Photo 5 - Hand rails and kick board in place.  If I can deal with the fiddle frustration I like to meet some sort of health and safety rules.  Kick boards are a must in my modelling world, and I do think the stairway looks more complete with some sort of midway 4x2 handrail.


Photo 6 - I made up three of these little sub assemblies as a kind of scaffold to hold fishing nets.  Inspired by one of Gregg W.'s models...


More soon, cheers, Mark.

Howdy Mark,

The dock looks amazing.  I especially like the staircase and enclosed conveyor.  

Have fun,

Great looking staircase Mark. The way you did it gives it much more eye appeal.
