MicksModels Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hi Just joined this forum today but I've been looking around for a while so I thought I'd post a picture or two of my woodwork. It's a scratch built scale model (1/12th) of a farm tip cart. I've been building models for a few years just to keep up the woodworking skills till I need a piece of furniture. I live in Brisbane, Australia Timber is Tasmainian Myrtle Finish is Dainish oil Scale is 1/12th Model is 32cm (12 1/2 inches) long.

..Kev Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Amazing detail and beautiful work!. The match stick really helps put things in perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egraff Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 This is lovely - you've really captured the old farm feel in this model. If you had shot the picture differently and not said it was a miniature, I wouldn't have thought twice!!! Best, EG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Very nice!!! A few generations ago, you probably could have gotten full time employment doing this for the Crown. http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/visit/windsorcastle/what-to-see-and-do/queen-marys-dolls-house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrdie Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Good thing TIODS pointed out the match stick because there was no way I was going to believe that is a scale model! Unless, of course, you use really big matches!! Very nicely done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
