Church Street part 5

I have finished my Church Street diorama. Another street in my fictive town of Northall.
I started to create a base. The base is build up with 3cm high card strips on a MDF base.
First, I finished the Assurance Agency. I used textures from several Scalescenes kits.
To finish my diorama, I had to add some pavement in front of the Assurance office. There were also some minor gaps, between the building and the street, I had to fill in. I used some Woodland scenic earth to fill it and gave it some colour with olive green pastel. I also added some grass from Mini Natur against the wall to the back yard and on the corner of the shop.
Finally, I placed my British Railway van in front of the pub. This van I will use on all my diorama’s and can easily be replaced by another car. It is Western based and fits in the right area. Using the van in every layout will give the illusion of a delivery route for the van.

For the picture, with just the diorama, I was inspirited by the website of Petite Properties. I think this can be improved by learning how to use my photo program better.
The other two pictures give a street view of Church Street. One is the original picture I made, the other one is photoshopped to create a late 1950’s look.

Looking excellent Job:-) A lamp post might make a nice addition to the scene.

Beautiful modelling, as usual, Job.  You even manage to make the road vehicle look credible - so often these spoil a diorama by looking much too glossy.

 

Please forgive me for commenting on your use of English (which is infinitely superior to my knowledge of Dutch) but 'inspirited', in this context, should be 'inspired'.  Also, while 'fictive' is a perfectly good English word, I doubt whether anyone here still uses it! - 'fictitious' would be a better alternative.

 

I also like the B/W photo at the end, which aptly captures the spirit of the 1950's - the time of my own childhood.

A lamp post doesn’t fit in my design this time. The focus should be on the British Railways van and the Assurance sign.

For the van, I used some suggestions from an AK book called ‘Track and Wheels’. I used a semi-gloss varnish and paint from their track and wheel set.

I still can learn. So, I like your corrections on the use of my English. I hope I still can improve.

Thanks for the complement for my late 1950’s picture.
