Soobels Kunst und Modellbau

[Soobel]

So i love to draw and make some pony-fanart.
Mostly i draw digitally and try to figure, how will ponies look in real.

Mare Fatale

Some people think that i draw better with pencils:

Boopfight: Filifjonka - Rarity 1:1 (Her i failed with Rarity's eyes, paper and pencil have not full eraser and CTRL+Z function)

Probaly much better i can make the very small ponies to Modellbahnanlage in Nenngrosse H0
Work are in wery beginning stadium, no trees, no grass, buildings lays here temorary..

Intresting work, especially the Model Railway. When i See it right, then had you "Piko A-Gleis" at our Modules? Ok, that's something, i had it from our Deviantart.

My questions (i warn you - i'm a few years with Model Railway, a few many Years) are packed in a spoiler - there give it something, that are from my highest interest.

But: not only the Railway does a good Plate; most of them are the residents - means: the Ponys. And there's a BIG Respect to you, that you build these on ourself. That must be a few hours (or days) to build these, or? i'm not with fine modelling, 'cause i'm a Mechanic.

and now, up to the questions:

Model Railway (Öffnen)

As i Saw the Piko A-Gleis, i think about the electric system.
- How many trains you (this means the complete Group) run simultaniously?
- Drive you our Trains in DC (analogous) or in DCC (digital) ?
- Do you build in few signals, or build you complete without signals?
- What are our options for the electricually emergency-shutoff, if it gives electrical problems - or Train-crashes?
- How steer you the Track-switches - manually (per hoof), electrically (analogue / digital) ?
how are the Measurements for our Modules? I mean to see 1200 x 600 millimetres.

that should be enough for the first time. I'm a little bit over 20 years with Model Railway; 12 Years, i don't had a time for that, and the Railway are gone forgotten - but, in the Actually last 3 Years, it were double so more then in the first 5 Years.

One pony i make about 4-5 hours, with one evening. Pony are simple thing, few colors, no detailed hooves and joints, big eyes etc. Ok, painting the eyes and cutiemark are higher microart but easier than repaint realistic H0 scale humans around model trains.

How to make a H0 scale pony

Houses need more work, simplier can complete with few days, bigger need weeks.

Build a house #1
Build a house #2
Build a House #3
Build a House #4

About the layout: I have here 2 stations with 4 sidings, where can park a train. Here will be 4 trains at same time and one of them will run. If i use only Ponyville modules, then can be here 2 short trains, one runs and other standing in station. Its just simple oval with short station, where are 2 tracks.
I use analog system, i have not yet any digital locos. Most of rolling stock are made by PIKO at DDR era, soviet time. All the tracks in stations are insulated and can switch on/off, track shwithses have analog electric control. All the swiches are on 2 control panels, each of them are for her own station and works separately. Red emergency buttons i have not - that is idea to add them for security. About signals i have some ideas, add there classic Estonian (ex-soviet) lights. But how to control them, im not yet figured out. I hope that some friends help me out, if the building the layout come to signals, im not good of electronic.

Next bigger task are dustproof cover boxes for some modules. After that i can put the houses on layout permanently with trees and grass and paths, then i have environment for photoshooting rolling stock too.

Very intresting; and those Details (on the Golden Oak Library). Respect!

Ah, Dc - ok, it's only a intresting Question. But Light-signals? is that not a bit to modern?

if i think a bit in German Railway time (Epochen), Ponyville can be in the "epoche 1!, whitch calls correctly "Länderbahnzeit" - those were that trains from, like something a Sort of, the K.W.St.E*, the K.Bay.Sts.B**, the BadStB*** or the K.P.St.E****. There were in the first Years no Signals, only "Signal posts" - like Ponys, who call the Next, that the Train is away from the block (block = a definied way of traffic, whitch is "secured" by the last signal). then come some "wing signals" - like the American Semaphores.. i don't find some from the "Esti Rautee"; i think, that were a intresting way for you.

Legend (Öffnen)

K.W.St.E = royal Württemberg* state railway
K.Bay.Sts.B = Royal Bavarian State railway
BadStB = Great duchy of Baden* state railways
K.P.St.E = Royal Prussian Railroad
*both lands - Württemberd and Baden - were a different time some contrys - the end was the WW1, where both Lands must fusionate to 1 Land, whitch is called "Baden-Württemberg", and that's one of the both South-Lands in Germany (the other one is "Bayern", whitch is known as "Bavaria").

It give more than those 4 Railway in the Epoche 1 - but, in the Epoche 2, all Railways will now read as "DRG", whitch is fully named as "Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft" (German State Railroad Company).

the "time-Parts", Called Epochen:

Epoche 1: 1835-1925 (90 Years)
Epoche 2: 1925-1945 (20 Years)
Epoche 3: 1945-1970 (25 Years)
Epoche 4: 1970-1990 (20 Years)
Epoche 5: 1990-2006 (16 Years)
Epoche 6: 2006- the actual Day

That's why i think, a very simple signalisation were absolutely ideal for that terrain - it's while that is the Longest time, where Trains were Build.
But, a bit little: a little Steam Locomotive can be look nice (as Friendship Express) and a bit more realistic; the "Crystral Express" can be a little bit modern Type.

Im not sure, build i signals in Ponyville station or not, i think, there befit Russian system at 19.century, where only one semaphore stands on centre the station like here. And premissions between stations for sending trains to next stations goes by telegraph. Light signals i try set up to another trikier station, what must be accurate copy of Estonian station Kiltsi.

That i agree, to Ponyville fit perfectly Deuche Lokalbahnzüge. My present Pony train contains a Very old Fleischmann's BR70.091 And one short Personenwagen with open balconies and one 3-achsige Abteilwagen.
(I know these words better in Deutsch than English because at Soviet era was there only lecture about Modellbahn and Eisenbahn journals and books from DDR )

Etwas neue hier.
Die dicke Luna:


Verpackung eine Modellbahnanlage-s modul:


Eine ecke aus Ponyville anlage ist vertig:

[sallycar]

Man die das sieht Hammer mäßig aus. Ein super Arbeit und so viel Details.!

[Soobel]

Wie die gleise sieht aus

[Crash Override]

Kann sich sehen lassen. Vielleicht komm ich ja mal in den genuß, mir das ganze "live" ansehen zu können... jedenfalls dafür, was du bisher gezeigt hast, ein

Respekt!

Nice Work ! Luna looks very good

Ok, that's an reason, why she's a bit Thicker than we know her.

Some things again





Little fillies

[Crash Override]

Nice; with a functional light... respect (i know that from the model-railway-sector - is that a lamp from there?).

The fillys are nice, but - had it to be Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon? Don't misunderstood me, please - but, why not another, like Babs Seed or Twist? Them both aren't liked by the most...

But, when i look a bit better at Diamond Tiara, then sie looks a bit chubby; i don't want so say fat...

[Soobel]

That is small 12V tungsten lamp. I dislike cold LED lights because tungsten light looks cute and warm.



I did Twist while ago:



I did Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon because they have just beautiful colors. And like we know, Diamond Tiara are not actually bad, she was a sad foal of terrible mare. At that size are hard to control how fat or thin that pony went, i see here that Silvespoon have bigger belly. Those equestrian foals are anyway thick and clumsy like kittens or puppies.
