wulfric_1066 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 K'nex from Ebay, plastic grating from the hobby shop, all mounted on 6mm MDF. The lower cogs are about an inch off the board, the higher one is about 2 inches up. The yellow wheels are about 5 inches diameter... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ct2PhMTYu64/Tseft8rfJJI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/9nz-zQ-OAwc/s1600/knex1.JPG http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XgI_nHmvJRU/TsefwARBE2I/AAAAAAAAAog/m8cTb3Ygwdo/s1600/knex3.JPG http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qGt_0N_SRuI/Ts4zOOQrO6I/AAAAAAAAApo/aAptTd9jhiA/s1600/knex6.jpg Building the second hill is easier, since I now know that I don't need holes in the base board for the pegs; the lowest cog is tall enough to make a sturdy foundation for the platforms. I simply pushed all the components together, checked for alignment and height with a couple of figures, and then epoxied the bottom of each cog to the board. The axles slip in easily enough, so I will paint the parts separately, clip the axles to length and assemble afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-paint Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I like it! alot! Looking at the basing have you by any chance got a mars themed board? looks that orangey colour =] Only thing i would say, is maybe you could attach them up to something, maybe a factory building or drilling equipment? At the moment they look good, but it makes you wonder why there are there in the first place, and what they do. Big thumbs up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Nice twist on the whole 'hill' scenery, although I would have thought it'd be 'forest' instead. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
