Grape Harvesters

I have now installed a set of grape harvesters (Preiser 10608) in my vineyard.

Now that the terraced vineyard and the main winery vineyards are complete, it was time to create my own wine label for the layout...

Making grape vines for a vineyard

Ten years ago I created vineyard using some Faller 18190 kits. Now that I have moved the winery onto a bigger hill, and also intend adding a terraced vineyard, I realized that I was going to need a lot of new grape vines. In fact, I was going to need about 47 meters of HO scale grape vines! Buying such a large number of vine kits was out of the question so I set about to make my own. I had to find a method that was cheap, and able to be scalable for the quantity of vines I needed to produce.

I have now completed adding additional vines to the vineyard and I am documenting the steps I used to create and plant the vines here.
