Half track

This is where we don't want anything but evidence of your finest wood butchering in all its glorious, and photograph laden glory. Bring your finished products or WIP's, we love them all, so long as there's pictures, and plenty of 'em!

Half track

I have been working on a half track which I have now completed but due to photobucket messing around and playing silly buggers all I can do to show it is provide a link so HERE it is

Thank you all. Not sure where to display it yet but definitely in a enclosed area to keep the dust off as much as possible.

Hi Derek

Lovely looking thing.

As you might have seen, we have fixed the hosting issues now and you can upload pictures directly to the forum if you want.

It's a slightly different process to how others do it, but if I'm permitted a moment of self congratulation, an improved method... ;)

There is a Global Announcement on all forums and Bob/Robert have written a very comprehensive 'How to', although it really isn't difficult.

Please take a look and have a go, and hopefully it will work for you and allow you to post your pics regularly again here. I would hate to lose your contribution.

Cheers
Mark

Thank you very much. I posted with a link as I know these things are not always an easy fix but I felt I should still post here to show I had not deserted.

The finished model measures 19 1/2” long 7 1/2” wide and 7” tall. I don't think my fingers could be up to sanding any parts if they were any smaller as some are only 3/8" long and 1/8" square :lol:

I'd guessed at 500mm so pretty close.

Lovely work!
