For our wine cellars we also wanted to have a wine press. Since the NOCH wine press (14370) was not available at the moment, I decided to build one on my own.
First of all we drove to Gedersdorf to take photos of the big wine press there. We knew that we would not be able to make an exact scalemodel of this wine press but we somehow needed photos of a good example.
Back home, I built the wine press with matches, a disposable chopstick, a round wooden stick and a flat stick that I guess was intended for lollipops.
Then I painted everything with dark brown acrylic colour.
Finally, I built this round concrete basement (please don't ask me for the correct name, I don't know it even in German) with filler. I used a drinking straw as mold. After everything was dry, I placed it in our model train layout next to the wine cellars.
And that's how it looks like in the "night".
