Large Scale Central

Lou's 2020 Mik's Challenge Build

The MIK - Annual Build Challenge
#1

I have been chomping at the bit for this ever since I saw this sign on the side of the road during School Board Elections.

Here’s my idea for a Golf Pencil Manufacturing Company. Separate building for the Eraser Division.

I have named all of my created buildings for people I have met. For example, there is BC’s Ice Cream Stand (Bruce Chandler), Golding’s Pretzel Factory (Ric & Jan), and I purchased Brunt Junction. Right now I’m not sure who will get the honor of the Pencil Factory, but a $100 bill in the mail may sway my decision.

Happy Modeling!

Lou, you forgot the most important aspect of the buildings … a chimney (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)I love the inspirational photo. Everyone needs pencils and more importantly for me, an eraser (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)Looking forward to your build.

#4

Kind like making left and right twix facories

#5

Guess you’re not a golfer, Devon.

Not all golf pencils have erasers so we can “correct” our scores.

#6

I golfed a few times. I almost always could shoot an 80 every time I played. Someone once suggested I try playing 18 holes and see how I do.(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)

Will my crisp new $1,000.00 bill work? (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

The use of pencils has featured very prominently throughout my life! I just had to look this up, forgive me, Lou…

#9

Thanks, John.

We will be having small buildings that make only short pencils.

How about if I scan and email a $100 bill to you?

Actually, the bill I have in my hand is for $128.76…

I didn’t get my chimney yet, but I admit I cheated and started early…

I Super glued my fingers together in advance.

#12

Lou, Your double set was mailed Monday… the very last set out…

Dave

#13

Hard to type with my fingers glued together.

Sorry, Hollywood, you are going to have to wait for: “Marconi’s Macaroni”.

#14

Got the chimney yesterday and my fingers unglued.

Starting on Ver 2.0:

The pencil division will be a long, skinny building, and the Eraser Division will be an old Baggage Car.

#15

To clarify: The Eraser Division will be a baggage car body from the Bachmann “Short Line Railroad”.

#16

I’m liking the concept.

#17

Progress is very slow. In the shed (45F), I dug out the other political signs that I will use for the sides of the Pencil Manufacturing. I probably can work on the Eraser Division and the chimney after I thaw out. Oh, and a nap after lunch.

Ummmm, I might have a small clue why progress is slow.

Nap, lunch, what are these things you speak of Lou??

#19

I see you have a nice, Rooster approved napkin to use. We have a few we brought home from last trip.

#20

Lookie what I found. A pile of leftover facing stones from a previous challenge.

Along with the Bachman Shortline Baggage Car, a perfect office for the Eraser Division.

Ta Da!
