Hello Thomas,

very nice and successful, do you also control the drives via the OC32?
Even a recent video of the train would certainly be good to watch.

Hello
I am really happy that you appriciate my work.
Thanks a lot ! I sure will post more of my things in the future.

@ Helmut: I don't use the OC32 to control those two motors (yet). I simply use a separate 3V source.
No electronique... just simply + and -....
But I plan to integrate those motors, too.

Too much ideas...too less time...

Good evening

I like detailing all the little things:

The river has a lot of garbage. Unfortunately this is like in the real world:




And there is some food for the rats, too:




And finally a hungry little boy starring at the fish:

The detail shots truly show off your talent so please post more. Very artistic use of subtle color and texture. I would have to look very carefully at higher resolution images to find anything to criticize. -- Russ

Thank you Russ!

Well here we go!

The first tourist is coming!


The hotel seems still to have a room with a view to the river


But attention: don't go swimming there!

Great detail!

What did you use for the railing on the hotel?

Hello Ray
Thank You.
The railing is a leftover from a plastic kit of a tramway.
It was intended to use for the base.

Good evening

Back from Luxembourg. The very first time I could show my work to the public.
I am really happy about all the (mostly) positive reactions from everybody.

A good friend of mine did even made a video:  https://vimeo.com/321306561
Please enjoy!

Then a picture from the whole arrangement:



Had big discussions if it would be better to have the wall around the layout in black.
What do you suggest?

And then my favorite snapshot:

A simple and very clean display. 

If you have one of those mini potpourri pots you could heat a small amount of chicken stock and herbs to give another dimension to the display and truly give the aroma of an Asian market.

HI Thomas,

Congratulations again on the successful diorama. I
t's true the video is very revealing and made very nice.

At my monastic tunnel I used black now but could not say what looks better.
I would get black paper and cover that white with it then you can decide very well what looks better.
However, I would suggest old weathered boards such as the insight into a market bud.

Finally, the close-ups I've been hoping for. Very artistic work and plenty of detail. Most satisfactory. Just one question: Why doesn't that girl ever get off the trolley? -- Russ

Russ she has certainly forgotten her bikini.
But unique plant and that in the construction period.

Hello Russ

Well...I did ask her the same question. She just looked at me and said:  Thật không may, tôi không hiểu một từ.

:D
