Nystrup Gravel: Cement Mixer and Wheels (1/35)

Cement Mixer and Wheels (1/35)

The cement mixer is almost finished and the lorry's wheels are weathered.

The cement mixer is made to look well used. The kit is rather well made, although care is advised during assembly as some of the parts are quite fragile. The weathering includes caked on concrete from modelling putty, stippled paint and a thin layer of air brushed paint.

The mixer is built.

About Nystrup Gravel

Nystrup Gravel is a 1:19 scale model on 32 mm gauge track of a Danish gravel company with a 600 mm. railway. Lines from several gravel pits converged outside the small town of Nystrup before reaching the company’s sorting facility and loading ramp for lorries.

For the first 15 years Nystrup Gravel was in 1:35 scale on 16.5 mm gauge. In 2018-2019 the layout changed to 1:19 scale.

I model the company’s railway as it looked in the early fifties. I try to make up a believable setting for my railway models by researching the history of the company and its environments. This blog gives you the possibility to follow my work. Notice that Nystrup Gravel is fiction and that all history regarding the railway and company is my work and not real.
