Oke here is my own thread whit some pictures of my hobby.
At my parrents house I still have my model railroad track. At the moment I'm changing the track. Since I live far away from my parrents it takes some tome to get it completed.
Here are some pictures of my trains and railroad track:
Train ahead

Some of the houses. I build a city in the style of old Amsterdam.

And the last picture for this post the power divide station. From this place all the lights trains ant other stuff gets it's power.

You made the houses youself. Wow! They look neat!
Nice. :D
well I have some more houses to build. And when all is finished all the houses get light. When that is ready I will take some pictures of that.
Wow. You must've been working on that all the live long day. XD
Who painted this car? it says silver line and is for sale. :o

Well one house takes one week free time building is (about 40 hours)
does anyone know how station Daventry looks like? Maybe I can build that one :D
*Starts imagine himself seeing the royal family get into the electric train and hear Rosella shouting choo choo :o :P
Cool! XD
Be sure to take more pics. :)
thats a cool hobby. i dont have any :(
I used to collect bottle caps...it got really boring though. :P
That's amazing, Icarus! I love the houses...they're so unique. More piccies soon? ;D
It's nice. It reminds me of the tiny trains that my brother used to have. :)
Maybe when my brother reads this he can take some pictures from my railroad.
Thinks he should do something realy adultisch by making some red light district houses. They even got moving persons :o
Very talented and very smart. The houses look great! :D
Here are some more pictures:
again a picture of the style of houses I build. I recently bought 3 new ones

At a fair I saw this wooden train. It could even ride. It was a huge train (1:10 scale)

That is the person who sold me three houses.
They weren't that cheap (€66 so almost $66) but the stuyle is so lovely.

Calculating aprox. the current rates €1, = $1,20
€66*1.2= $79,20.
BIGG diference.
another picture of the houses I build so far
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/huizen.jpg)
If this continues I have on the end of the year 100 houses. (Well probably I won't buy any new houses for a time but I have still one more left to build)
Nice job. :D
WOW They look really nice. :D
Great Job. :thumbsup:
That's awesome Icarus! ;D
Must take a lot of patience when building. :yes:
Here some pictures of the track I'm/was building:
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/spoor.jpg)
here is some of the railroad track.
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/rommel.jpg)
I want to let a train cross the other tracks so I needed some wood to get the train up. What a mess in the middle of the room.
Recently I've bought a new box whit 2 houses in it. I was tinking to make one adult shop so probably no picture of that house.
Nice pictures. :D
Looking good! :thumbsup:
I'm not sure about the "Adult shop" though. It doesn't seen to fit in.

have you ever been to Amsterdam? ::)
loads of that kind of shops in such houses
An Adult shop? Is that a place where you buy adults, or where adults buy boring stuff like newspapers, briefcases, ties... :P

I was there for about two hours if that counts. :P
depends if you went into the center of the city into the red light district.
Neither, I stayed in the confines of an airport. :P
I was home for some days so I could change my railroadtrack and get it more complete:
The train hat to cross all other tracks whitout letting the other trains stop. This means it has to go up
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/kunstwerk.jpg)
Here is a picture of all the houses in Amsterdam style I have overthere. 2 houses are still standing here and 23 more have to be build.
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/huizenlinksallemaal.jpg)
Well my time overthere is up so I had to go. Next post could contain pictures of the new houses.
Nice! ;D How big is the entire city?
22 when I count the houses I still have here. I also have loads of houses that I won't use since they are another style of building (chalet factories etc)
22 feet? :o
no 22 houses (the length of the table is 2,5 meter by 2,5 meter whit a hole in it where you can stand in the middle.)
a house has a avarage with of 10cm and a length of 19cm. The height is 20cm.
Ahh ok. 2.5x2.5, so that's like 8x8 feet? That's not bad. :)
I've seen some on TV and movies that are massive and practically take up the entire size of the room. :P
Mine is in the attic of my past sleeping room. Since I moved and didn't had enough space it's still at my parrents house.
Did you finish building that one?
As you can see on the pictures it isn't finished yet. I still need to place all the lights on the street and in the houses. The marked is still not on it's place and there are still no people on the street and you can see the wood. On the end you can only see the street/grass and the houses whit all kind of people near/on it.
Maybe at x-mas next year I will place a x-mas group in the centere of the city.
I meant did you finish building the one at your parent's house. :P Or is the one in the pictures the one from your parent's house? ???
The pictures are at my parrents house. My house is way to small to keep all that stuff. At my house here I can only build a few houses.
Looks cool! Keep up the good work.

It's obviously a place wherein adults shop. 'nuff said!
You don't see dollars shopping at the dollar store. :P
ah, yes, but they'd have to be "storing" because it's a dollar store, not a dollar shop XB

(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/merrygoround.jpg)
This building really works.
Cool! I wanna see it work! I love the roof; its so pretty.
I've got a better one for you: the pirate trip (traveling into a tree log into a water rollercoaster). Sadly it isn't complete that last attraction. for the show of seeing it work I need to take it to my parents house and ask my bro to film it.
Next job: some powersupply houses and a fantasy shop but for now I need to go to bed :zzz:.
I didn't really understand the first part except that it has something to do with pirates and isn't finished.
lol, when i first saw the post I thought cc had posted cause of the :zzz:
You rock, icarus. :D You should consider making miniature towns for movie sets, that monsters like Godzilla can destroy. XD
Or film your own! :D
Cool! What's next on the list?
some power suply houses.
and the pirates thing is a wild water ride. in it you travle into a tiny boat. maybe my bro can take a picture of it? ::)

A place where they determine if you are a witch. I failed the test and became a witch. In the old times witches were burned or they let them drown.
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/S5030451.jpg)
A cute elf.
Wow! That looks like a blast. :D
Nice pics! ;D
I hope I can go to some more fantasy events soon. Transforming myself again into a goblin :D
again 3 more houses:
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/S5030523.jpg)
From left to right: a book shop, a living house, a toy shop.

Wow! Nice!
Wow that looks cool. Great work. :thumbsup:

That'd be awesomest. :D
You did a magnificent job with the last three houses. :D
Due to holiday some pictures of the construction of the whole track:
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/huizen-1.jpg)
As can be seen the houses on the background are build above the railroadtrack. The plan is to build some subway entrances. I only need way more houses as I can see now.
Another project is building a king's quest ride.
more pictures will follow.
Looking good Icarus. :D

You have some nice Models, Where do you get your model making stuff? ;D

Here are some pictures form the greasepaint festival last Saturday:
http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/gorkums%20grime%20festival%202008/
Wow! your buildings are ah-mazing!! Building an entire set is a huge time commitment--good luck, but I don't think you'll need it--You already done way more that I would have :)
Looks awesome! :D
My house in the middle of the street. My house in the middle of the street.
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/S5031450.jpg)
lol. This it what I call model building. By using lights it just looks like it's more alive. All houses have their own light. Funny thing was my standard powersupply couldn't handle the amount of lights. Luckily I have a heavier powersupply that works. If my camera could make pictures in the dark you could see all the lights even better.
Next is the search for more houses. I still need almost 20 houses. Next month I can buy some houses a bit cheaper.
:o That's really cool :D
Very well done, Ic :)
Cool!
Is there a way to use led lights? They would reduce the power draw a lot.
that's posible but it probably won't do that much. The transformer I use suplies 7,5VA. Whit tha amount of lights I need I would probably have a trouble in power. The other transformer I use suplies 45VA. Way more power.
Just a though because I think led's use about a 10th or 15th of the power of a standard bulb. I'm not sure when compared to those little ones.

That's so pretty! Great job! :D

last weekend the unseen monster:
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a311/icarus1980/unseen%20monster/S5031530.jpg)
during a LARP event some people wanted to call a fleshgolum. And here it is. to bad during the summoning they did some things terebly wrong: calling the devil when all good people are standing close is asking for trouble. All the summoners died. I could remove all the make-up whitout being in game :(
This monster is a combination of a goblin/human/gnome/ork/drow/zombie
