Haha, "wild hogs" I forgot about that one! When that movie came out the "theme" seemed so far away in my life... Now not so much!

OK, I'm done stirring the pot for today. What's the next building? Coffee shop? Corner store?

I'll see if I can't get this train wreck some what back on track, here is one of my favorite shop signs, I was trying to make one small enough for you to hang on the wall but couldn't read it when I was done!

"YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM."

Funny you ask what's next Reg. my order of Esc's and servos came in so to break things up I'm going to tackle the Lamborghini cop car next.

I must apologize, in no way did I say we need to tone it down. I just wanted others to know, it's all bark and no bite as the wild hogs would do
If we can't be ourselves, there's no fun in that

Another great idea Kent! Brings one I like to mind..... Failing to plan is planning to fail... sorry, I must have work on my mind.

I've got video proof of foxes and if we look hard enough, I'm sure I can find you a beaver somewhere . All depends on your standards

Hey Mario good morning. On the conveyor build video 2, where did you get the 2 metal rollers. After just receiving a tread mill I started to build a conveyor.

Morning . I got the rollers made for me by Reg ( RCP57 ) . It's a tube with end caps that have a set screw incorporated into them. I'm sure Reg could explain how he made them.

Well, the folding house is pretty much done. One more thing to add is interior lighting for that evening look. Besides the fact I made a major mistake when I layed out and cut the windows. I didn't realize I was working from the inside of the walls which made the outside complete opposite of the house I was trying to replicate! and the grey is too dark, the roof shouldn't be black.....otherwise, I'm real happy with the folding, quick simple assembly of it all and will probably look ok from 20ft away sitting in the backyard.

Really nice buildings. Is the house you made from the same material that you used for the shop?

So earlier in the thread you mentioned you wanted to build a Tim Hortons coffee shop. Well you are going to need cups.


I can't take credit for the cups scan, just remembered it when I read you wanted to build a Tim Hortons. I found it on a 7/8ths (1:13.7) train forum; here's the link:

Thanks for the link Brian. I saved it and will use for sure when the time comes to build a Timmys.
Yup, same material as the shop. Proper name for it is Coroplast. Sold by the 4x8 sheet and cost 20 bucks.

But you don't even know the rates might be out of your price range.

Hmmm, im sure I can find a red led in my collection. I think I'll save that feature until August.

Thanks Reg. I love the hula doll idea. Maybe I should find one of those Santa Claus mechanical moving dolls, dress it up as a hula girl , flip the switch and listen to her say " ho, ho , ho " ....

Forgot to post this last night. Did another video of the building and lights for it. I'm seeing an issue with one part of the build. The plywood base is made of 1/4" fir plywood. Since I cut the piece out of sheet on Friday and painted the edge, it's warping like crazy and the peg holes aren't lining up as easily. Need to rework the base.

Looks good Mario, what are you going to do in a wind storm, you know the kind caused by them crazy 18 wheelers high balling down the road past the house?
