Very cool!

Hello everybody

Next weekend I will present my stuff in Lille.
Thats why I finally added the last small animated part of my diorama: the moving station doors.

Your diorama will impress many people. Clever animation at the trolley stop. -- Russ

I love it!

Hello

Back from the exhibition. Everything worked fine. The public enjoyed my little dreamworld. I am really happy!

The next step is to add the other railbus.
Made some progress and could motorise it:

Glad to hear your exhibition went well. Everything looks good in photos, so it must have looked even better in person.

Somehow i didn't see much of what you posted on page 3 until today. I like your laser cut leaves. Can you tell me what they are cut out of and what their actual size is? I work in HO and wonder if similar patterns can be successfully laser cut at that scale?

Hello

See attached a foto of my leaves:



It is measured in cm.
They are cut out of paper. It is a size of A4 (21.0 x 29.7 cm), 160 g/m2.
Normal paper is 80 g/m2.

Thanks!

Hello

I could test the loco. She makes the really narrow curve on my layout...
So I can now continue to complete the railcar.

The seats are installed:



And I also added a luggage net on the roof. This is not prototypical...but it looks well...

It's really coming along. Satisfactory. -- Russ

Looking good!

Hello

Finally got some spare time to continue with my railcar 

I installed my stuff on the eating table:



First I made a layer from rusty color as the base. Followed with two layers of chipping fluid:



Followed by chipping the covering color:



To make a faded look I added white and yellow oils:



I brushed the whole thing with white spirit. And finally did the irregular pattern with a little sponge:



Pretty much the same procedure at the roof. I added some more acrylic color to do the rust effects:



To be continuid...

Nice effects for rust & fading

Hello Thomas, nice to see from your successful construction progress, just with what liquid did you apply the chips?

Good evening Helmut

The Chipping Fluid is from AK Interactive. It is the acrylic Heavy Chipping Fluid.
