20ton Bulk Grain Hopper Diorama..

[Tarps]

This will be another micro diorama I plan to build with a railway theme. I like railway wagons so I plan to have a 20 ton bulk grain hopper standing at a factory siding.
I will be building a low relief workshop building with wall as the backdrop. I will be adding a ground points lever as part of the diorama and weathered ballast to replicate oil, muck and grease.
A few weeds and tufts of grass will be evident as they always get ahold somewhere.
I have added a picture of my 4mm scale laser cut workshop building items.

Hi today I have been working on building and painting up the low relief workshop. The roof still needs finishing off.

There is nothing amiss on that brick work Kevin.
What's that laser cut mdf or ply like to paint with acrylics, does the grain rise ?

Hi John thanks for your comments, you can use acrylic and oil paints on this and they seem to keep their shape really well. I prefer painting only with acrylics.

Hi I have been busy building a low relief store building for the diorama. Im pleased with the finished item.
Once it’s on the plinth I can add some more weathering and weeds.

Hi I have glued the low relief store building in place. I can now start concentrating on build brick wall to the right hand side as you look at it.
