I am really enjoying your KZbin's and inspiring me to do better. From my experience the flour milling game. The purpose of the piping on the bin is that small pipe is used to have material blown from a bin inside the brewer to the outside unloading bin. There is a cylinder ( known as a cyclone) on top of the bin where the inlet pipe enters at a tangent. Two things happen here the material in the pipe hits the wall of the cyclone causing it to loose velocity and drop out of the air stream and secondly due to the larger diameter of cyclone means that the velocity of the air steam that is moving material from brewer also slows down as it is moving in the expanded area. This means it can't support the weight of the material in the air stream, so the material drops. The large pipe from the bin is to vent the air. (I suggest they have built it this way in case the bin overfills it doesn't block the delivery pipe). Normally they would just have a vent on top to release the air.

Here's a wild thought. Maybe put some narrow gauge track under the extractor. That way it can look rail severed. This can come in from edge layout and would fit just a short bit pass the extractor, in the under growth. Modellers licence. Could have been the factory's own narrow gauge railway.
@boomerdiorama2 жыл бұрын
That's an interesting idea. Although, the Extractor is served by a truck that backs into the space from the little road around the corner off scene. Great idea though. The Grain bin is on the other side of the building which is also served by truck. ;-) Cheers.

I believe the white labeled Plastruct cement is called Bondene. It is designed for ABS plastic as well as styrene. I don't think you are using any of Plastruct's ABS plastic in your construction. It is usually colored grey (gray) or some other color than white. I have found working with ABS plastic a little more difficult than styrene, but it is more sturdy. Some plastic modelers recommend Bondene over the orange labeled Plastruct cement because it will handle whatever kind of plastic you want to "weld".

Film and theater was a very lucrative career for me in the nineties. But then one had to be versatile and also be willing to do "other" things a well (like carpentry, scenic paint, etc.) Basically, if you were a good problem solver and a diligent worker with some talent, you were bound to be successful in film. But then, I left film for museum work (dioramas) and settled out there. The money was good but I never did it for the money, I did it because I loved it - and still do. ;-) Cheers.

In your opinion, do these solvents have any negative characteristics when it comes to painting? My natural tendency would be to try and apply it very precisely, but I guess that is wasting time. Clearly these solvents have no surface tension and wick well. My concern has been around not wanting paint to look funny if going over areas where I was “sloppy” with solvents.
@boomerdiorama2 жыл бұрын
Good question. The solvent is so thin, and if not agitated, it disappears (evaporates). Even though it might show a slight glimmer or glaze on the raw model. Any blemish disappears after paint. Furthermore, where one might cause a textured blemish due to overhandling the part, it ends up blending in with the weathering paint procedure anyway. ;-) Cheers.
