Hello Job, have just followed that link and had a look at the website -  a good article, with some nice pictures of your work, the street scenes you produced are very realistic.

Thanks, the article gives a good impression of the way I work on my diorama's. 

Hi Job, what a nice write-up and presentation of your work - and very well deserved too.

 

Also good to see some of your past pictures again, it's like revisiting an old neighbourhood :-)

When I was young in the 1950s, we thought our cities were grey and dirty places, with buildings darkened by the smoke & soot from coal fires. Now I look back with fondness to a time when children played in the middle of streets, which only saw the occasional motor car. We watched roadworkers repairing the stone setts of the cobbled streets and warmed ourselves by their brazier, made from an old oil drum with holes punched on the side. Your dioramas capture that period so well. It is a shame the Nice Street model is no longer on display?

A very nice article about your modelling, Job.  Thank you for sharing the link.  i also found it interesting to read about 'Ghost Signs'.  I should put some on my own layout, to complement my 'Ghost engine' - the Dean 4-2-4 Tank, sometimes referred to as 'The Swindon Ghost'!

Thanks for your nice description. I grew up also in the 1950's and early 1960's. In the Netherlands you also could play on the street, although the street where our house was situated was already to busy. Sometimes we took a note book and wrote down the auto that passed by.

Thanks Mike. Adding a "ghost sign" to your layout will give it an extra viewing point.
