Diorama

A cold morning at Pensyflog, Porthmadog

It's 1954 and another cold start to the day at Pensyflog. Mr Pritchard's woodbine smoke hangs in the cold air as he pauses on his morning walk to chat with Mrs Williams. What could they be chatting about I wonder... maybe Richard Burton on the radio narrating the recently deceased Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood, or how her garden looks uncommonly colourful for the time of year, or perhaps more likely they are just talking about the weather

A cold, damp morning at Porthmadog

A damp Sunday morning at Porthmadog shed.      GWR 43xx No.6324 stands outside Porthmadog loco shed, a sub-shed of Machynlleth 89C.  The two road structure was built by the Cambrian Railways in 1907 and survived until August 1963.      This is a box fresh Dapol Mogul and awaits light weathering, renumbering and reallocating to 89C.  This is the second of the dioramas built for Modelu by Dan Evason of Tunnel Lane Model Railways and is photographed in natural light.

Dusting off the workbench

My last post to this blog was the last time I did any modelling, way back in February 2015 when I was detialing stock for Oswestry Works.  Modelu took over my time completely from then on and the hobby became full time work.  5 years later and I'm blowing the dust off the paints and preparing stock and figures, not for Oswestry unfortunately but for 3 diorama's I've had commissioned for showcasing Modelu products.   All that work on Oswestry Works will come to fuitition at some point as it would
