I have been following this build with great interest. Your building ability and problem solving is amazing. Very enjoyable watching the progress. I'm afraid to ask, where is the kit available? My bet is that it isn't...............

Thank you all. I enjoy the small size model because I can see the whole thing more easily than a big, complex one. You can buy original Micromodels kits on eBay or on CD from England. These were made some decade ago.

Well done on the three models. You added some some excellent touches with the tines on the elevator belt and the hay. Nicely done. They all look great.

Thank you. I want now to make some sort of scenery with it. So I will look for a paper farm house...

Those are the CD's that I buy previously. IMHO it is well worth the $$ even if you spend the $100 for everything. $100 is not so dear when you comprehend that you save approx $40 and you get hundreds of models to build. For me it is "one stop shopping" in that I may make architecture model, automobile or train model, industrial model, shop model, and it has also the Micromodels books. Some of the late models, they were not color so you must color them yourself. Which I do not like. I want it color in the first place. But I do like the uncolor windmill... Some models, they are dumb, like Festival of Britian, and a couple of the automaton toys. But most are quite nice.

Lala, the farm equipment you built is beautiful and I have great admiration for anyone that can build something that small. I will never be able to figure that out! Thanks for the pictures. Dave

I can put a penny on my forefinger and still have 1/8th of an inch of finger around it. I can't built those little models but sure can appreciate great work when I see it. Definitely worth putting in a case or the appropriate bottle if you could find the right one. Well done!!

Thank you all. Today I will try to make some starting work on the Micromodels Beam Engine industry model.

Most of the Micromodels they give you six cards in the package. For the farm set each model it is make from two cards each for the three models. The Beam Engine it is all six cards for the one model, so it is very complicated. It have some parts to make from beads and wire also.
