I have been working on the location for the vac factory doing such things as road crossings on the track that runs by where the factory will be located.

Another vacuum machine for the factory
I built another industrial vacuum machine for my industrial vac company. It is 9 1/2 feet high to the top of the cylinder and 7 feet long. It was made using miscellaneous scrap parts, wire and bits of plastic. It is modeled along the lines of one of the prototypes I posted. It is fun doing these unusual machines.
While I was building the vac, I also assembled a pick-up truck kit by Sylvan. I have built a number of their kits. They are moulded using a polyurethane resin that is fairly soft and easy to remove flash. The tires are actually moulded rubber which fit over the wheel hub. I painted my truck gray versus the somewhat bright color in their illustration.
These models were a breather from the structure building. I was also involved in some nice family events - can't do modeling all of the time.
