| Category: Prototype | Title: Modeling a Granite Quarry | ||
| Scale: None | Last presented: MER Hagerstown 2009 | ||
| Description: Based on an operating granite quarry in Barre, VT that was photographed in 1995, the author attempts to build a realistic looking quarry model that also doubles as a removable access hatch for layout maintenance. Techniques for reproducing distinctive features such as stone surface textures and drilling marks, derricks, hoist houses, scratch-built equipment and weathering will be described through a series of detailed construction photographs. Many historical pictures of quarry operations in the Barre area will be presented. | |||
