Morn Jack,
Been following this from the cheap seats and can only echo what the guys have said. A really super dio coming together with lots of fine touches that make it shine. This must take up a bit of space though. I'd love to do a RR scene, but alas, my apartment is too small for the undertaking. Keep up the fantastic work Sir!!!

Thanks John. Have spent a fair few hours trawling through various dioramas on here and elsewhere and it's definitely the small details that catch the eye. Have a lot of screenshots I am taking inspiration from.
Thanks Andrew!
Very Kind Neil, thank you!
Thanks Allen. I'll throw you a cushion if you need. Yeah it's large. Probably 5x the size of anything I have attempted before. Thankfully...I have a whole loft as my modelling space. It's not ideal for bench time (light, heat, ventilation etc), but perfect for storage!Comment

Looking good Jack. It’s developing well.Comment

Jack,
Coming together very nicely, like the modified stove.Comment

Thank you Tim.
Thanks Scottie. I just managed to snap the door off!
So other than breaking the stove, managed a little progress today: made a door.
Not overly happy with the hinges, but they will do. All cut from pewter sheet. The ring on the latch stamped twice with two sizes of hole punch.
Rivets made with a way I picked up from a modelling website. Don’t think it was on here, but apologies If I have unwitingly plagerised someone else’s post. I can’t justify buying a punch and die set, but switching a drillbit round in a pin vice, and pressing, ‘blunt end’ into pewter sheet onto a soft surface (in this case, a silicone sandbag) gives very nice rivets/bolt heads, sized by the drillbit.

Hi Jack
Great progress. Looks really good. A huge amount of work but worth it when it turns out as well as this.

Thanks Jim. Think I have finally learned a bit of patience with this one!
Today’s progress has been the exterior of the little railway shed. I have definitely gone over the top with the creeping shrubbery, but it’s to hide the texture of the foam board, and I like the effect so it’s staying, regardless of how unlikely it would be on a large slab of concrete. I am clueless so far as to what and how to construct a simple roof. Corrugated is my first thought, but suggestions more than welcome.

Sweet!! :thumb2:Comment

Love it Jack.m.
First thought on the roof would be corrugated.
Nothing fancy for the supports, a reasonably thick plastic sheet glued onto the top of those walls and using that for the base apply the corrugated sheet.
I made my own jig from a set of pre formed plastic sheets by Juweela 1/35
.pm if you want any more information on that .Comment
