Finally finished my third T & J display model (with extra details)

Dark timber is West Australian jarrah and light timber is clear grade pine

Wow, great work. I'd love to do this model and I hope it comes up as well as this.

[MR T]

Thanks for the feedback.

I never kept a record of the hours it took to construct,but it
did take a long time.( many weeks )
I am not 100% sure that the T&J plans are based on a Kobelco,I did e-mail
T&J and asked the question but never received a reply.
I then searched the internet on all of the manufacturers and Kobelco was the closest.
The finish is Miritone lacquer
The tracks were cut out on the table saw using a dado blade with the timber strips
held in a jig.
The drilling for the track pins ( dowels ) was done on the drill press held in a jig
very similar to the one Linesman has shown.

Mr T., you did a great job. I love the attention to detail and the extra stuff you did. Being that I am working on my first model I'm not quite confident to add any extra stuff to mine. But maybe later I will give it a try. :2tsup::2tsup:
