RSS Fetcher Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Let’s start with a quote from another RM blogger: “When I see some of the so called Art I become more and more convinced that railway modelling is very much an art form, yet one that we don't explore as much as we should.” Thanks for this one Dad-1. See his article here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/blog/608/entry-17901-is-railway-modelling-art/ So now my contribution on this subject. On Facebook sometimes you get surprised with an inspiring post. This time my eye was cached by the following picture. When surfing around and reading several articles about this subject I found this text very interesting: “Every film has its own way of telling its story. The colour palette helps the director to enhance the emotional aspect of the film and helps viewers to respond to it.” This could be translated to my own diorama building. After my latest building and the enthusiastic respond I asked myself the question: what is the reason for this respond. The main success of this model is the careful choice of colours. All colours are fitting in the small palette of colours that I used. Carefully selected with every step. Not at the start. Another building with the same result I have built in the past for Northall Dock. The building on the right with the stuccoed wall is also built in the same way. Carefully looking at each texture before it was used. You also can see that for the total diorama much more colours are used. This is the case in most of my diorama’s I have built until now. I noticed this when people liked some pictures instead of my total diorama. I will give you an example: the picture of William Fish in front of his workshop. Actually that is my approach. Designing a diorama and then creating each building as a separate item. Only with Caroline Street I tried to use a colour palette. I believe I can create a more balanced and atmospheric diorama’s when I spent more attention to the colour palette I want to use. This will be a new challenge for my next diorama. And to answer the question "is Railway Modelling Art" is answered with the most common reaction I get when people see my diorama's. You are creating art. So for me Railway Modelling can be a form of art. Any suggestion or comments are welcome.
