Hello all After a long time ( nearly 3 years ) this thread was "sleeping" and now I will wake it up !! Last summer I have finished the model after over 2000 hours of work in nearly 8 years and I will show you some pics of it. I hope the pics will enjoy you !!    If you are interested I can post some other pics with a lot of details. Regards, Manfred

Manfred,
That looks incredible! I for one would love to see more pictures, especially of the building. I'm sure many others would also.
Regards,
Paul R

Hello Paul While the building this model I haven`t make a lot of pics. The model is not finished yet. At the moment I have "only" built the first 70 meters of the original - mashine who is nearly 450 meters long, so the model ( if I would build all parts of it ) would be over 9 meters long !!! But for the moment I have stopped the construction of this model because I will start with a new TBM - model - project. It will be a TBM from Herrenknecht with a diameter of nearly 12 meters and it was used for a highway - tunnel ( Islisbergtunnel ) near zurich here in switzerland. The model will be in scale 1:50 like this one. Some pics of the original - mashine I have attached. In the next days I will post some other and detailled pics from the Gotthard - model. For the new model - project I will open a new thread here if I was ready with pics. So here the original - pics from the next project :    Regards Manfred
