2020 Challenge by Dennis Rayon ... Denray Machine

Modeling
#1

As the owner of a full sized Steel fabricating business (Denray Machine Inc) I thought this could be very fitting. I recently found a picture of

a model that I really desired to make a model of. O’Neils Fabrication , ( https://www.sierrawestscalemodels.com/311.html ), I did not know it was

a kit in HO and O scale, but I googled the name and up popped the model shown in above link. Wow this thing had another side and even became more

intriguing for me. So I started drawing at least my design of this model in G gauge , then when this challenge came up with a chimney, I thought why not

use this as an excuse,( as if I really need one) to get started on part of this Business.

Since I own a business with similiar traits, Hmmmm why not use my business name in here to make it more fitting to home.

So this is going to be the small structure of the welding supply structure.

Forgive me for not using a NAPKIN, my sketching skills are not readable. But I can doodle a little in sketchup.

The finished project will be look a little more like the pictures of the model kit by Sierra’s kit.

Seeing some of your other models, I believe this will be a fun build to watch. I can just imagine the realism you will add to this project. I like the 3D modeling.

#3

“Doodle a little” is a massive understatement…

Lots of character in this build I predict. Following with interest

Well here I am having a few things done, enough to display. I am building this small structure out of PB precision board. A 1/2" thick board

that is used mainly for pattern makers and sign makers. Holds up great in all weathers, soft enough to work with all woodworking tools

and all sharp hand held tools. Has the capability to weather very nicely, with some basic tool, like dental picks.

Pic. 1. This pic is the sides in the laser being used to cut out the used brick, and yes they are drawn out one at a time, well basically

picked out of 12 choices.

Pic 2. The side walls lasered and ready for the table saw to cut the lap siding.

The 3rd picture are the 2 sides layed out to create the sidings to align up, so I could run together as one piece with each setting of the table saw fence.

I draw on the end cut, the way the angle is set, very easy to run backwards, have not done that yet.

The first few rows of siding has ran across the saw, I am using a 5/16" dado head angled at 12 degrees, The head depth is set at where it just barely

cuts the surface. That way it does not make the wall thickness any thinner.

The next few pictures are showing after the sides are cut with the windows and doors removed, then the siding was weathered heavily.

Boards are cut with splits, nail holes were placed at joints, wire-brushed fairly heavy. Then spray painted.

This picture is where the finish paint job is done.

After the paint has been applied, I took a black ink pen and marked the bottom edge to make it stand out as the shadow effect.

Look at the area where the pen is pointing at. Then the next picture shows one side has the bottom edges that has been penned.

Looking good, Dennis. Nice idea on the shadow using the pen. Clever.

#10

That looks awesome!!

#11

Ray are you two related ?

#12

Wow, just Wow!

#13

What they all said ^^^^^^ there… (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

#14

Laser cutting is cool, your painting is very good, but what I’m really impressed with is how you use that table saw…I wish I could do that.

#15

Dennis… I like whats comming along here… BUT…

Since you have posted so much in the modeling section already, will you PLEASE start a thread in the Mik Challenge section, and tie a link to this thread, so that those that want to follow the “Build” can find it.

Personally I thought that you had dropped out, cause I hadn’t seen any build logs…

Thanks

Dave
