It was that or the Tunguska Meteors, but @Koni informed me it can be changed at any time, so next season maybe I will make a second one. :)
Painted some club scenery. I've been trying to rekindle hobby interest as my interest has kind of died over the past two months and I've been busy with changing jobs.
I hope you find a steady job soon so that will no longer be a problem. As for the pipes, they look well done. Certainly look like actual metal pipes in a miniature form.
Those pipe stacks really want some wraps around them, like that reinforced plastic tape they use in construction, so they stop looking like they'll roll apart the moment you look around.
Look up actual pipe stacks - the storage methods I've seen are: flat plates between each layer so the pipes on top don't slide between the bottom ones, alternating layers so they don't align in the same direction, something that looks like book-ends, and tape. Small model tape (as in, 1-2mm wide masking tape) might work, but it's be very fragile, especially for public use. Maybe use thin zip ties (and either hide the fasteners or just cut the ends and glue them together), or a few loops of thread soaked in varnish? From what I've seen the tape used for this is surprisingly narrow, like 1cm, but very heavy duty (thick plastic reinforced with wires). Yeah if I had to do it on already made stacks, I'd probably go the thread route, take a thin thread in dirty yellow color, wrap 3-4 times, seal with varnish.
The ones near me are all just stacked on top of each other, no ties in place. After googling though I see what you mean! I've got the Tamiya weathering tape stuff, it's just a yellow colour already so I can just wrap it around and weather it. Jobs a good one.
