Cheers Alan Unfortunately not, they will eventually do some surveys at Grove, but for now I'm just going with my best guess, 'rule of thumb' or whatever, to get things going... The old concrete today... Danish workers pouring the concrete at Grove. By august 1940 the runway's were ready.

kkarlsen Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Concrete was poured a couple of weeks ago, moment of truth turning the slate over from the mirrored pouring... The result is better than I expected, no big air pockets or anything... The division of the concrete slabs have been made with a hobby knife. Some nice irregularities add some texture to the concrete... Surface detail... That's it for now: Kent Edited April 1, 2019 by kkarlsen Piprm, D.B.

Out2gtcha Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Amazing looking! How much does it weigh out of curiosity? kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not that heavy, 1 cm thick concrete approx. 50x50 cm's 5-6 kg's? I will put it on the scale once I get it home....

kkarlsen Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Trying to get this one across the finish line... The 'Portalkran' is painted and weathered. So are the accessories. The 'Rasensteine' have been cast in resin. The pattern becomes visible, when they are put together. Started working on the water drain of the runway. I will need about 55 cm's. Figures are primed before painting. 1 Pilot + 4 Ground Crew... Cheers: Kent Gazzas, red baron, Out2gtcha and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Nice work! That crane is impressive! kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 An update on the runway base... The concrete grass slabs 'Rasensteine' have been glued down... The drain canal too... Adding 'dirt' to the grass slates... Some groundwork with small stones and sand... It's getting there... Cheers: Kent F-4Phanwell, D.B.
