Modellrailroad meets Steampunk

[August Fidelius Hammerman]

Hi,
Actually I'm working on a Watertower for my Modellrailroad made out of Yoghurtpots. There will follow other steampunk and victorian orientated buildings.

Nur ein kleiner Hinweis: Im Englischen gibt es sehr viel weniger zusammengesetzte Worte.

Sehr hübsch, alles in allem. Etwas Farbe, dann werden die richtig schön.

Ja mein Englisch ist stark eingerostet, wahrscheinlich mittlerweile auf dem Niveau von Westerwelle oder Oettinger  . Ist das hier im Forum im Notfall auch ok Kommentare auf Deutsch zu posten?

I will add some details and then it will get a black coat and drybrushed in different colours.

[James Harrison]

I like what you've done so far.  It's very creative in finding the source material and, when completed, will no doubt sit well with the locomotives and other buildings. 

What do you have planned for the glass domes on the first photo?

[August Fidelius Hammerman]

The glass domes are for an alternative version with a brass reservoir. One watertower is for a diorama, the other for a funktional modell railroad

Im extremen Notfall schon, so lange Übersetzer zur Hand sind, aber ich bin ja da.
For the rest of you: His English is slightly rusty, reaches German politician level at times. I just volunteered to translate when I'm around.

With the help of a ornament scissor I made this crown like thingie.

Good work,looking forward to the finished result.

Hello there!

A brilliant little project. I am very fond of models made from re-used rubbish - they go right back to the heart of toy making.

Railroads and steampunk go very well together. You are inspiring me to get my own models out again.

I build tabletop scenery for use with miniatures and always find many 'recyclable' items in such construction.  Some of my favorite sources are take-away food containers which come in so many interesting shapes and textures.

Aside from detailing said items into scenery dressing, some containers act as excellent casting molds for copying intricate textures, best example is creating ribbed domes or fluted cylinders in plaster or oven-baked clays.

The link below is a good example of the various container items that offer said potential.

That tiled roof looks cool, and the way you did the crenelations is really clever. Look forward to seeing more.

Love it! My dad was working on an electric streetcar layout before he died so this kind of thing has a very soft spot in my heart.

Nun, ich glaube, du bist Englisch ist recht gut.
Und Ihr Modell Züge und ihre Gebäude sind außerordentlich gut.
Ich schaue nach vorne zu sehen, mehr von Ihrer Arbeit.
  Falls dies nicht übersetzen und ich entschuldige mich, ich bin mit Google Translate-Programm.

My new project, a steampunk like technothingie for 28mm table top gaming.

[Antipodean]

Just throwing my hat in the ring to say I am enjoying your work.
Thank you for shareing.

[elShoggotho]

I still want to see a paint job that's as top notch as the modeling work.

So ganz fertig ist das allerdings noch nicht. Da muß noch etwas mit dem Pinsel gearbeitet werden, um den Details Leben einzuhauchen.

[weirdmeister]

gefällt mir,das schwere daran ist ja sich details auszudenken die reel wirken,wie wärs zb mit nem zaun aus büroklammern oben drumrum

Yesterday I found time to paint my Landing pad:

[James Harrison]

I like it!

[WillRockwell]

The rust streaks are brilliant!

[August Fidelius Hammerman]

The rust streaks are brilliant!

Very simple method => Oily smoke by Vallejo Game Clolour

Ah, I have forgotten to mention something. The Landing pad and the technothingie ist not in H0 Gauge, but for my Warhammer 40k Table. Because I love the victorian epoche I dont use the Games Workshop gothic style buildings.
I think i should show you more projects of my gaming table:

My first projekt ever, the house ruin




The Brewery:







Suspened Monorail: (not finished)





Watertower:



Monument


Ventilator housing



My gaming table, not finished but to show that the monorail track is nearly 1,80m long

August, Very interested as I am a 40k afficianado myself... but your links appear broken.

[bicyclebuilder]

Wonderfull work! Wünderbar 
The use of plastic containers is an inspiration to me.
Your painting skills are awesome.

@shoeshine. The links doesn't work here eather. But if I copy the adress of the pictures and paste it in a new window, it does work.

[August Fidelius Hammerman]

Thank you for your comments....and I fixed the broken links and added some pictures
