Hello.

This is my vision of a street corner in Lisbon.








Hope you like it.

Hi. !

This diorama are in 1:24 scale (exact)
All you can see are scratchbuild.
The cobbles are small pieces of clay. Even some in the walkway. Others are made in wood.
The streetcar is a scratchbuild copying an Occre model.
At the start I was decide to finish the roofs with tiles, but at last, I build a small penthouse.







Thanks for watching
Regards

Nice,  ;D

Looks like the way up to the Botanic Gardens in Lisbon

Even the trolley is scratchbuilt? Wow. -- Russ

Ray Dunakin

Impressive! Do you have more photos of the trolley?

Thanks

Beautiful!

Does it run, or is it a stationary model? Either way, it looks great!

This is a stationary model. But is very easy to be motorized.

Again, thanks for your kind words and take your time to visit this post.
This is another version from the same subject. It's smaller ...

Xavier, are you interested in learning some weathering techniques? If so, some of our contributors could be very helpful. -- Russ

Ooops !!

This is a very subtle and tactful way to say that you find my finishes are of poor quality.
Anyway, I can always learn something. It's never too late.
