Re: Sierra West Foundry Scratchbuild

[Pennman]

Thanks for the nice comments, Jerry (Shop Foreman), Dave (5th Dave to the Rt.)(PS: Dave B., that's funny! Ha Ha!), Larry C, (Machine Shop Foreman), and Rick (World Traveler)! and Star (World Traveler's Mascot)!

I mentioned earlier showing the outside of the new Shop addition on the side of the Pattern Shop, that the outside shop framing walls are removable. I built it that way without gluing it in, in case I wanted to switch out the outside framing walls, remove the interior and I could place a smaller concrete dock, inside in it's place, with extra details later. If I lost anyone with that explanation, perhaps the pictures will show what I mean.
Here' the pictures.

I just enlarged one of the last photos to see the detail better.What's that brown stuff in the toilet?

😅😂🤣
OMG I'm laughing my butt off!

Just a reminder:  Please keep your answers non-political. 

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE ANYTHING IN THIS THREAD IS OF A "POLITICAL" NATURE", BECAUSE I DO NOT SEE THAT??  RICH

Rich, this comment was made in jest - suggesting what is in the toilet represents a certain political figure. 

[Pennman]

Oh! Ok, Craig. Over my head on that one. I don't follow politics, that's why I model and play with trains
instead. I would rather smell the smoke from a steam engine than anything else.

I was thinking "political content" more generally, but yeah!

I don't see where there was political content in either of our comments about "turds in the toilet". Then linking them somehow to an ideology was incorrect.


It was about noting the level of detail in Rich's Diarama. I've seen a few up close in my basement several years ago. The depth of detail he adds leaves me awestruck. Luckily my jaw was not made of glass, otherwise the boys would have needed a dustpan to pick up the pieces.

I remember a few of us teasing him in my home about one of his projects that I was able to observe closely. The only error we could find was needing more pigeon droppings on the roof.

🤔🤔😅

The devotion to planning, constructing, and detailing is way beyond average, or at least beyond my skills. I continue to be amazed by his patience and craftsmanship that goes into all of his works. I am in admiration of his skills.Simply spectacular!

I agree. Trains are the best remedy to life!

No issues with any posts, Dave. All is well.

Dave,

I guess I'm slow on this but just can't seem to get anything political out of your comment about the brown stuff.

I do follow politics and am very passionate in my beliefs. However, I didn't see anything political until, Dave, the Moderator, made his comment.

As someone said, "Let's all just hobby on!"

Good Morning Craig,

Thank you for stepping in to settle what was not a dilemma, but merely a misunderstanding, that
the way I see it, could have been Rambo IV. Your Deputy makes up a problem due to his own miss-guided beliefs,
pokes the bear, then wonders why there's a problem he can't handle.

I am not upset, and I hope you are not either. I would have sent this message to you personally, but not this time.
Your Deputy needs to see how I feel about this. He was beginning to get under my skin with his remarks, jumping on my every post, with my modeling being done wrong. I can take good constructive criticism, but some people wonder why I haven't shown any of my builds. It is due to things like this. But this never ever happens to me, I don't get it.

I love this forum and I love building and showing my models. And I love putting a little humor into my presentations.
It is not a crime..

Rich I just found your thread by accident since I normally don't peruse the scratch building thread.

Truly outstanding modeling especially since you are doing it scratch. You have definitely improved upon the original design and even added an additional building. I may borrow (read steal) your idea about that.

Once again outstanding modeling.

Thank you Tom for your kind thoughts regarding my modeling, and I do agree with you about moving on.

Many thanks for your nice comments, Curt. Most of you gents are seasoned modelers here, and you all model over the top. Steal anything you wish. We are all here to share everything. It's just another part of what makes this the world's most wonderful hobby.

[Dave Buchholz]

Amen brother.

As is  true  of you  and  so many other  modelers here on this  forum I could mention, thank you for your explanations and photos  of your works, and efforts and  to  help all  our fellow modelers to improve their modeling skills .
I for one am appreciative of them.

(I'll await for that smooze check in the mail. Made sure you spell the name correctly so it doesn't bounce like last time)
