Sweet pea

Like the look of the retaining wall and the grass work. The points Roding is. A great touch having been left there.

An interesting cakebox entry, looking forward to seeing more.

Luke I like the picture of the magazine entrance. The theme you have chose to model is of interest as my grandad was a gaurd at one of these sites. I like the start of your entrance, will be watching with interest.

Lovely modelling Jerry. I think it’s great that you are laying the tiles individually. It will be a much better result.

Jerry thanks for your comments and interest into my diorama build.

Today I have started on the embankment structure and raising the mainline track a little.

Will post up a picture later today.

Nice cakebox modelling. I like how you hide the battery pack for the water way light.

Luke nice work on building the arsenal entrance.

Made a start building the baseboard from scalemodelscenery. I really like these small diorama boards.

i have placed the track where it will finally be laid.

trunking and relay boxes arrived.

im on nights tonight, so tomorrow I will concentrate on building the bank side and glueing the track in place.

Luke I can see where you get your inspiration from. A great theme to model, will watch with interest.

Excellent work,looks really good.

Jerry nice modelling as always mate.

Hi guys bit of an update. I’m still waiting for the diorama board to arrive. On a good note the wells electric trunking has arrived along with the ballast, track and red brick card. Hope to start soon.

Thanks fellas for the advice.

Which is a good glue to use for laying my track to a small diorama board.

Nice modelling I like how you have created the stream with debis as well.

Are you going to have a fiddle yard at both ends?

Not really thought about it Rod but easily done.

This will be a 200mm x 200mm diorama. The theme is about folk sitting on a bank side having a picnic and watching trains go by. 

I have pinched a few ideas from GeoffinOz which he kindly agreed to as he is building a cakebox with a similar scene.

embankment.

fence.

brick wall.

two lengths of track. 1 working line and 1 disused line. ( oo gauge ).

scenery.

diesel loco.

scenery/gravel.

and of course figures.

Paul fantastic modelling in such a small space. Hats off Paul it’s looking great.

Coming along nicely Jerry.

The signal box interior is looking great.

Hi Paul a nice structure for a micro layout. I like your layout plan and track weathering technique, one I will try myself.

look forward to seeing more.

Hi I thought I would share a couple of pictures of my Sentinel on the layout. Still plenty of work to complete on my little layout.

Thanks Dad-1 yes just a nice size.

Looks great look forward to seeing more.

Hi managed to weather the stone wall at the back of the layout and grass scatter applied.

The partially dried up steam is taking shape with the small stones taken from the garden. The sides of the banks will be grassed and planted with a few reeds.

Here is a photo of my progress.
