Angst Lesspork

[Hugh Norwood]

The feet arrived and have been installed....

[Hugh Norwood]

So... the feet have been painted. I'm now investigating motorising the lid.... (Tidying up the front will have to wait)

[Hugh Norwood]

Right - That's it - the Discworld-in-a-box is complete....

Impressive piece of work, Lady Sybil's Sunshine Sanctuary next?
Maybe I should join you and make my next project Discworld themed, I have my Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook handy for a bit of research.
Any thoughts on where the slate for the roofs on Ankh Morpork comes from?

Llamedos?

Apologies if I'm being too PC, but those feet all appear to be quite white (though less so now than when they arrived).

I'm not familiar with Discworld but presumably they don't have a Diversity Officer (yet)?

I understand that the luggage came with Twoflower from the Agatean Empire so whether Sapient Pearwood takes on the colour of the inhabitants of its country of origin I could not say... If so, it might be a fairly homogenous palish hue. If the feet took on the colour of raw or freshly cut pearwood they might also be something like that colour. Now if it was Sapient Walnut it might be darker.

I think the upper surfaces being a bit darker would be entirely consistent with being a well travelled and weather-beaten traveller.

Super work Hugh! The only improvement I can think of is Terry Gilliam teeth:

[Barry Witteridge]

Lord Vetinari is very forward thinking and has encouraged Commander Vimes to be very diverse in his recruitment to the Watch and include the cities ethnic minorities into it's ranks dwarfs, trolls, the undead and werewolfs along with humans, well maybe not in the case of Nobby Nobbs!

I recently got some things from Shapeways, including these

I only wanted one of these little chaps:




But they come in a pack of thirty - in assorted "poses" (!)

He fits in the cage:



Now to think of where on the layout to put it!

[Hugh Norwood]

I shall be at the Bristol Model Railway show next weekend at Thornbury Leisure Centre.

[Hugh Norwood]

We had a great time at the Bristol show - plenty of interest in the layout, which is always a plus, and met up with 009ers, too.
I took advantage of Modelu being present at the show to get scanned so that I can visit the layout at scale!

Here is my avatar along with some railway engineer ready to be planted...

plus some on another page.  May have a place on Angst?  Don't think steampunk has been a huge success!

However, I seem to have picked a few invitations, so someone must like it!

It drew a lot of onlookers.
