Very impressive layout.

 

I really like the idea of box file layouts, as I'm not big on endurance, and yours really shows the possibilities.

Hi Karl

Thank you for your nice comments.Im sometimes short of time and although would love a big layout (space been my main problem still)sometimes the prospect of time to complete one is a little daunting.Doing something this small has been very enjoyable and progress to finishing it off hasn't been that long. with a boxfile a little time spent here and there, before you know it,your nearly there.and you can concentrate of a lot of detail.

 

Regarding boxfiles.I bought three of same when i started project,one for layout,one for stockbox and one to store the sector plate board.I've since found thats its best to buy boxes from same source as their sizes can vary between manufacturer .especially important,if you intend joining two together as some people have.

 

I'd take the plunge,i know im glad i did.

Kind Regards

Terry

This really is an excellent bit of modeling!

Apart from being "expansive" in the pictures and fabulously executed, it reminds me very much of an Engineering Firm (or rather that one and a few others!) I used to visit as a callow youth in a van

 

Infact it has crytalised a few vague thoughts I keep having towards something small (ish) and industrial (ish)....

Hi Michey

Thank you.I worked in such places until around 8 years ago,so tried to capture the atmosphere a little bit, its nice to know im hitting the right spot.

It realy was great fun to build Im also happy if it makes other people want to have a go too.

Kind Regards

Terry

Terry, I know exactly what you mean about space constraints.

 

Box file layouts are much closer to my normal sphere of modeling, military modeling, where dioramas are usually no bigger that a foot or so square.

 

Keep up the good work.

 

Karl
