Guest ShildonShunter Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Hi managed to progress a little further the fence is now in place just needs to be weathered a little and I need to finish off the grassed embankments and add a few detailed items to the diorama. Here are some photos. Edited May 9, 2018 by ShildonShunter 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Looking good mate, I particularly like the fence, is it the ratio one? Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShildonShunter Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Looking good mate, I particularly like the fence, is it the ratio one? Jerry Hi Jerry thanks for your nice comments the fence has laser cut posts and wiring from Model Railway Scenery. I had to drill individual holes for each of the fence posts and feed the wire through all the pre-drilled holes which is very time consuming but well worth it as the fence looks great.

Guest ShildonShunter Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hi all I thought I would take some pictures of my Class 73 on the diorama I'm currently working on. I still need to add a buffer stop some oil drums and various other discarded items which are found along railways. I hope you like the pictures. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for you comments Jerry I'm going to be painting some oil drums and water run of pipe on the diorama today still waiting for a bicycle to arrive as it will be modelled as though it's been dumped over the fence..

Andy Y Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 After some good luck i have managed to persuade Class73 to sell my diorama back to me Kevin, I have removed your Class73 account as discussed. Can you please be truthful with me and your readers and stop inventing things once and for all? I really do hope I've made myself clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
