i dont know what dark place i`ve been to lately, but i just found myself building this !.

That sort of thing happens when you've not got much to do and end up just hanging around.

Nice creation! Have you tested it yet?

 

[steveemmo]

i`m just tying up the nooses then i`ll give it a go

 

[steveemmo]

you can never find sandbag when you need one!

 

[theBaron]

Reminds me of "Hang 'Em High!"

Nice work! What scale is this, and what are your materials?

Prosit!

[steveemmo]

1:35 scale 57mm. or there abouts, its based on the scaffold used for the Lincoln assassins execution or at least the trap door mechanism is... as for the rest i have as usual gone over the top a bit ! and it`s made from pine and hardwood scraps

 

[thebritfarmer]

Well whatever place you were in looks pretty darn good to me Steve!!

 

[steveemmo]

i`m begining to think i have too much time on my hands

 

[Wraith]

Don't need none of tham there sandbags....sacrifice a metal figure. If it's head comes off with the drop, but the structure remains intact, then you've got yerself a fine piece furniture.
Gallows humour. (sorry)

 

[theBaron]

For sandbags, try Milliput or some other putty, or Elmer's Wood Putty. You can shape it pretty easily, and use a piece of a T-shirt to imprint a burlap texture to the surface (old tip from Shep Paine).

Prost!

four confederate sailors captured sailors from the CSS. Albemarle. moored upstairs in the front box room, and strangely two more manning the trap door turncoats ...

[jazzeum]

Interesting to say the least. I wonder what some members of a southern persuasion may think?

 

[steveemmo]

i build ships for the south to float again ...unfortunately they were the only figures i had ....gonna miss those guys ..

 

[steveemmo]

dead men walking ...must have been tough to take those last few steps

 

[steveemmo]

well at least i have found something to get my 10 tear old of his xbox and interested in toy soldiers...well hanging them ...but its a start !

Steve...that's some nice wood work...great project...I'm glad to see I'm not the only one on here with a "twisted dark side"...I made one for my Crusaders castle sets...it's not functional...it's a Hirst Arts project...but it turned out okay...great job on yours...

 

[Napoleon1er]

Love it! Thought it looked familiar...it looks exactly like the original!
