In Polish word "beton" means "concrete" and same is in German.
A.

Yes, also you´re right.
I meant this word, but wanted to write it in english.

The radar shaped concrete things you say had a electric cable running down a shaft, could this have been part of the experiment with sound waves for knocking down aircraft?

Yes, also this could be possible. Intersting facts and ideas!

And "Betong" is the Norwegian word for concrete. The Nordic/German/holland language come from old germanian language and have many simularities.

For the henge thing. First thing i thought about when it came to the electrical cabel canals running from the henge, is that they were made for water pipes, and not electrical cables. But again there is no real documentation to prove any of the theories. But i like to leave some of it to my imagination, and go from there

Yes, I know about some similar words in different languages. But I was not sure about the english word for this. But thanks for explanation/ translation of this in your own languages.

As for the "flytrap" (the big ring), I heard in the documentation, that the small underground tunnel leads to the center of the ring.

Hmm, using a "search and find webpage" I found the schematic work of a cooling tower.
The underground bell needs a lot of electric energy, and the ring could be the lower part of a cooling-tower from a nearby power-plant, which produces the electric energy.
This is, what I now think about the ring. Not really spectacular.

Also in WW2 turbine-powered engines were developed and tested / used.
The electric power-plant for the project needs a type of turbine, so I saw this on the images.
But I found no information about first use of a cooling-tower.

Yes, it would be better to have room for imagination.

I need to apologize for butting in with bad information. I did not do my due diligence about that dish shaped item. I found out it is not a Nazi secret experiment but a British pre radar sound mirror. I am sorry for faux pas. I still think this is really a nice scene, I'm intrigued.

Finally a little spare time to continue the work. But need to resupply myself with more balsa wood for the molding.

After allot of back and fourth on working permits and such, i got my guys back to work. As you can see them here lending me a hand.

Hope you are not employing slave lego labour. It is against the Geneva convention to use them for war work.

I note that only one of your work crew has a non standard yellow safety jacket and none are wearing hard hats !!!!!!!!!!! That is sloppy work and against the Elf and Safety Regulations. Tut ,tut !!!

Tee hee

Due to cut backs after all xmas bonuses that went to the bosses here :/ we only could afford one safety vest. Helmets went over our budget...

Got a good laugh from your lego workers, are you paying them union wages? Good thing your over there cause O.S.H.A. would be all over you here

. Really coming along nicely. Looking forward to some more of this one.

I suspect it is not the last time we will see the workers

Yo Jarle,

Nice update! Do you use some I-beams under the big opening from the rectangle? That will be a nice contrast to all the concreet.

Keep up!

Not sure what ill do next. But i am going to make a sort of door frame in there for big metal doors. And at the top some crane railings. But that will come when the roof is in. Think i need to sit down at the drawing table and come up with something.

And tnx again.

Jarle,
Been quietly following this and think it's looking great. Your techniques and explanations are very much appreciated. Your helpers however, look way too happy to be slave labor

Looking forward to watching this come along.
Cheers,
Charles

And here is yet another update on the building process. Have started on the roof as you can see. And i found another nice reason for using the legos hehe

Hmm. Is some thing being planned here perhaps.....

Hi Jarle

If you are making a roof panel it might be worthwhile getting down to your local DIY store for some aimes tape. That slab is gonna have a bit of weight in it and if it has no reinforcement your poor old lego labour force may get squished.

Tee hee

Looking good mate.

Hehe. I have weight tested the lego supports with a 5 kg weight so i think it will hold up

Its pretty strong. And the silver tape i am using here is also pretty strong. It can even seal leaking plumbing

It has worked pretty good for now. But i am water testing it before poring any plaster inn there. Just in case. Water is no problem if it leaks, but if the plaster leaks somewhere it becomes messy pretty fast. But with small amounts of water just to see if it is properly sealed up.

Can never have to much fun hehe. Makes things more exciting.

Hi Jarle

This is Aimes tape

I used it to reinforce my thin concrete slab for my Nissen hut base just in case my base board warps slightly. Hopefully the filler I used will not crack up so easily.

I was thinking that this might help give your slab some in-built strength and reduce the chance of your thin slab cracking up when drying or if tapped by heavy hands in the wrong place.

It is used by real house builders for reinforcing joints in plasterboard so that the skim coat of plaster does not simply flake off or crack at the joints.

It is very cheap
