Double Diamond Ranch

[Matthyro]

There will be a group of buildings to make the ranch scene.
This will start with the family stone house.
I decided on a ranch as we need the beef without worrying about mad cow disaster.

 

[interurban]

I got to ask

er, er,,,, will the beef be cardbord

 

[Matthyro]

Chris, the cattle will be LPBs too. "Little plastic beef" Low in cholesterol but a bit hard to digest.
The walls and windows are in place. Next comes the stone work. This will take some time.

Lessee...On the Double Diamond Ranch we got Little Plastic Beefs meeting Little Plastic Bovines eating Little Plastic Bales and leaving Little Plastic Bulls...er..., never mind. Gotta be a country song in there somewhere.

Sounds to me like theres gonna be a lot of bull---- in this thread

 

[shaygetz]

...and turned into Little Plastic Burgers for the Little Plastic Beings. YeeeeeHaaaaa!!!!! Travis Tritt, eat yer heart out

Robin, are you doing the stonework the same way you did the machinery warehouse?

 

[Clerk]

whoa Robin...You are off and running again. How about giving a little sample on how you made the siding.

 

[Russ Bellinis]

Wow Robin. I've been off the computer for a couple of days so my daughter could do college papers, and I come back and you've finished the mine and gone on to a ranch!

 

[Matthyro]

Dick, it isn't siding just pencil lines every 1/8th inch on cerealboard to help me place the rocks.
shaygetz the stone work will be similar to the machinery warehouse but I am going to try to make it look somewhat different if I can. It is taking my time to place the rocks. Not even halfway yet.

Robin
How about a picture of the rocks just half way?

Another vote, I'd like to see how you're...er...moooOOoooovin' along .

 

[Matthyro]

OK you task masters. Once the basic blocks are in place I need to add mortar. Don't quite know how I will go about doing that yet. Then comes the painting.

 

[Clerk]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, This is wonderful.

 

[CortezA]

Robin,

What kind of glue do you use?

Thanks,
Cortez

 

[Lemur]

Lookin good there Robin!
Now if I could only get mine to look that good when I am done...

 

[Matthyro]

Cortez, I use white glue.
Welcome to the Gauge guys
Jason, I am sure yours will turn out fine.

You turn your back for just a moment ... and he finishes a complete factory complex, adds a source for fuel and then starts on feeding the population. I get exhausted just trying to keep up with the threads.

Great work Robin. I have another bookmark to add to the "reference list"

Robin, what is the size of the blocks? Are you making them uniform or varying the lengths?
