    Cement wagon diorama

    Afternoon it's been a while since I last visited the forum.
    I'm in the middle of building a new railway themed diorama. The modelling will be centred around a Ketton Cement wagon which is standing in a little siding.
    The back of the diorama has a small fence which was built from using match sticks as the upright posts and wood coffee stirrers for the horizontal fence boards. Beside this is a lamp which I made using brass tubing then painted it Matt black.
    In front of the fence a have added a raised grassy section this needs static grass adding once it arrives next week.
    The track is Peco oo gauge and has been laid painted and weathered and a fine sprinkling of cement dust has been added as this would have been evident in the real world.
    At the front of the diorama another grassy area has been modelled and I have added a small pool as this adds interest. This all needs static grass and foliage adding once they arrive.
    I have added a picture of my progress..
