Carlos, beautiful work, if I remember correctly this is 1/72 scale - will make a wonderful addition to some future projects I have in mind.

Well done Carlos

I am working on a 1/35th Signal Tower for a diorama. I am using a tower from Hansa Systems which I first saw last year at AMPS in Maryland. The kit is much like assembling Legos. Each cinderblock for the tower is assembled individually. The end product looks great, and the interior is visible for detailing. I will display pictures when complete.

Sorry Cheyenne ,
I just looked back through the previous thread & found it is 1:35 HOORAY !!!
I am looking forward to this coming out Carlos . I have a different colour scheme in mind myself !
Was your building inspired by a real building or is it a product of your own imagination ? If it was the former could you please post some piccis for me .
Love Jenny

Thanks to all for your kind words.

Irish; Hansa Sistems is a good product to make this type of works, I hope to be able to see your tower soon, together with some German armored locomotive, naturally: -)

I´m also interest me the armored trains, Russian in my case, and I am working in a locomotive, I hope to be able to finish it some day.

Jenny, the piece is 1/35 and she doesn't have detailed the interior, maybe a future reference... The design is mine, I have been inspired by diverse towers of this type.

In internet you can find several pictures. in Google you can find images writing " STELLWERK " or YARD TOWER in search window.

You can paint other scheme has made it Bob with other colors: gray, brown, garnet, etc.

Another inspiration source is the actalogos of accessories for electric trains, all the marks: fleissman, Pola, Marklin, etc... they have this type of products. I am for sure you can find some color outline that you like there .
... and congratulations for your bridge hope see it soon


cheers

Carlos
