Greg...If that doesn't get you some points with the Mrs, nothing will..

Nice to see a practical application of the models...

Funny you mentioned that Jerry, she had asked what I was up to for the last two hours. I said I cleaned up the tomato plants. She had this BLANK look and said it took two hours.
I then told her I only used my models to do the work... I can't quite figure out the look she gave me after that. LOL Oh well, I had a great time ! !

My wife is yacking about someone needs to cut all the flowers and tomato plants down on the side of the house. Looking at your pictures makes me think that's a legitimate way to play with the models

Sorry Neil, I was called away.... I have been asked a few times on how I scale up a project, I hope this helps.

Here is how I scale up a project, I must say though that it is the quick and dirt way... There are folks on this site who do things to a high degree of scale.
I try and pick a project that is a size that all the operating equipment will fit into. ( motors, servo's, hyd's ). To confirm the size I look for a brochere, like the one below.

By looking at A: Length 17.10
C: Height 10.4
D: Blade 11.6
Now these can be scaled to give an idea for size.
http://jbwid.com/scalcalc.htm

So at 1/14 scale A: Length = 15.2 inches

If it all looks good I then print the brochere and take it to the local copy shop and get them to enlarge it to the true model size...

You and Lou have some nice stuff. Aren't you guys up island somewhere? I have to go up there at the end of November and would love to have a look at your equipment.

I have had some folks asking what I use for roller chain and pads on my models. This is the setup I use... 8 foot lengths of carpet rail from Home-Depot 7/8 wide to make the pads
