Yes, I will be bringing this model to Brickfest, actually the fest was the
motivating factor in getting it finished this month. Maybe I can build some
more hoppers by then also.
Sorry I don’t have any more detailed shots of the facility (if you knew the
backwards system of capturing video with an old Targa card that I'm using,
you’d be amazed that those 8 pictures worked out at all), I’m hoping that at
Brickfest someone with a nice digital camera can get some better shots of
the details.
Glad everyone likes it, I was very proud of this model, it turned out pretty
much as planned.
