jpachl Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 In July, I visited an area in Beijing, China, which is today known as 751 D-Park. It is a former industrial district with steel mills and related industries. After closing all the factories, it was not torn down but transformed into a fancy art and design district. When taking a photo of a former tank, which is now used as an exhibition hall, it struck me that this would be a nice background picture for a model photo scene. Back home, I combined that picture with some of my Russian TT scale equipment. Since there are no Chinese signs on the tank, it works well for a scene playing in Russia.

Just visit my Flickr album on temporary dioramas: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjBrMiB9 Beside my Russian settings, there are also some German and North American scenes.

jpachl Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Here is the latest outcome of a photo showing my Russian TT scale rolling stock. As in my 'Arriving at the tank' scene, I used a photo taken in Beijing's 751D-Park for the background. The steam engine is a Russian Эм, I also used in other photo settings.

Jongudmund Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 These are great pictures. Have you just changed the picture or are they different lay outs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_J Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Just looked at your Flickr link. What a great way to show off your models when you have little or no space for a layout. An infinite choice of locations available. Can I ask? How many of the backscenes are from your own albums? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpachl Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 These are great pictures. Have you just changed the picture or are they different lay outs? I have two baseboards, I use for my temporary photo settings. For the two scenes, I used the same baseboard. Here, you see an example how my pictures are created. The two pics with my Russian models, I made the same way. The making of a picture by Jörn Pachl, auf Flickr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpachl Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Just looked at your Flickr link. What a great way to show off your models when you have little or no space for a layout. An infinite choice of locations available. Can I ask? How many of the backscenes are from your own albums? Of the 25 scenes in the 'temporary TT scale dioramas' folder, 16 scenes have a background made from photos I took myself. The photos were taken in Germany, Thailand, and China. For three scenes, I used screenshots I took in a computer game. For two scenes, I used screenshots provided by VR artist Anthemios who granted me the right to use any of his pictures for my model scenes. The four remaining scenes have a printed background from a commercial model railway manufacturer. These are the four older Russian scenes, I still made at a time when I not yet had a computer equipment sufficient for high quality photo editing. For my boxfile diorama and the exhibition diorama, I used compilations of photos provided by third parties that granted me the right to use them for my model projects. For the background of my operational layout, I made a compilation of photos and drawings sold by a model railway manufacturer for that purpose on a DVD.
