  1. Thanks! Indeed, it does look better this way. Painting it once more was a lot of extra work, but worth the while ... And, some extra effort put in to restore all the railing parts I had nocked off in the paint process ...
  2. w00t, new camera and a lens... I looked at some reviews, but I knew I did not need to... bloody darn good stuff Good choice...
  3. Painted the bridge in a different clour. Much more white. Like this, here's a picture of a detail of the bridge itself, although the camera blues it up a bit... and a colour thingie... (The diagonal line is some shadow, there was a bit of sun out) Fresh pictures, though the artificial lighting does not really show it, the colour is much more towards white! These three in a row to show three different stages of level of light intensity on the leds, the first one being low level, last one high... Maybe I should've set the camera to a fixed shutter speed, as it kinda focusses on the Leds where lighting is concerned... makes sense ... lol
  4. No the pot is fine... it must be! It has been... for years! Although ... Close up of the brake pedal... hmm... construction contraption. Pedals complete:
  5. Sure we do! Well, not as beige as real beige, but still:
  6. Had some issues with my Roccat Cave Digital 5.1 Headset, where the rear speakers would no longer work when the external speakerset was activated. (You can connect your normal 5.1 speaker set to it, and with pressing one switch you go from speakers to headset... nice!) So, it still has warranty, and I called them, they said 'send it back to us, we'll have a look'. That'd mean I'd be out of sound, and I did not want to setup the on board sound again, so I decided to simply buy me another one... It just arrived, I opened the package, and started swapping them out. Then I had a look at the satelite thingy where the 5.1 speakerset is connected, with three 3.5mm plugs. Three different colours, you know the drill... but then... there were four holes in the thing. Four? Ah, 7.1 it can also do that! Wait a minute, why is there no plug in the black hole? And, why is the black plug in the orange hole? I then realised what had happened... I had it disconnected a few days ago - dunno why - can't remember. So... I reconnected the black plug... w00t... they are back! Oh well, got a nice spare set now.... Should maybe not have opened the box though .... Yeah, let's move on now, I am off to the shop where they sell paint, beige paint in particular... As the brigde will be painted beige, because I do not like the grey stuff ... !
  7. It's gone again! Must indeed be a wacky contact. Oh well...
  8. Done! Well, the span is... (Yeah, used the bad camera again... Oh, and I see the railings on this side need some extra work)
  9. It's on the 2013 DVD me thinks... somewhere
  10. Railings will go on the very last.... nearly there, just one more item I need to install, some strange structure on the south side of the bridge..
  11. Oh dear, traffic jam on the bridge, rush hour! The cars are I ordered from the States arrived today, another 20 Euros in taxes/handling... stoopid me !
  12. Yeah, got that Chris, I just meant to add to your comment, not to attack/defend/judge it
  13. Should be possible. Would not know how... yet. And, I do not think it's an issue at the moment. Yesterday, Fenrir, Jabo, CapJack, APhill and me flew around, together with others who were on other TS, no issues at all as far as I can tell...
  14. Will I ever get done with this thing? Decided to add some lighting: 4x Led, in serial setup, powered by a 12V adaptor. (As I added a potmeter to it, the lighting can be dimmed, though very limited...) Here's one test-fitted to the right. The black thing that forms the lamp-housing, is one of those rubbery things you find on in-ear-headphones, turned inside out Lights on! Darn difficult to make pictures in these conditions... As for other developments: - Had a big mishap when 'Pijler H' decided to go take a fall... from 5 feet down... restoration time! - All railings have been painted white! - ...
  15. Looks like it is. Saw something similar last weekend, names I did not recognize, until Sonofhorus also joined. He is a member, although it's been months since I've seen him on TS... We've had a bit of a discussion on this already, whether it's an issue, or not. Did not reach a conclusion that would lead to action... Well, it's not like they will be braking anything... or wear it out...
  16. Patience my dear, patience... I've just finished painting the underside of the bridge (no pictures, it's not that special..) Finished half of the railings, construction wise that is, still need to paint them. 12 pieces of 15 cm long... And then 12 more to go ... Or wait, me thinks 14 ... Oh, as for transporting it? Once the railings are in place, me thinks it's gonna need a custom transport-case to keep it safe. One with weels, and possibly an engine?
  17. Over at ATAG: "Do you have 5.1 system? This thread is for you" Basically, change Speakers=1 to =4 in your conf.ini. I have changed it, but have not checked the results yet!
  18. Well, then go edit your profile, change the date there!
