Hi
A while back I came across an article about using Ranger Crackle Paint. The cracle and finish on Ranger Crackle paint was perfect in 1/35 scale and I was tempted to start a project of a scene with a wooden building from Norway.
I usually have a plan when I start on a diorama but in this project things has developt during the prosess.
Some of the pics are shown earlier in an another post on this forum but I hope you dont mind I post them again as this tread will be of the complete build.
Some early in progress shots: (sorry about the quality of my photos, I have just got a new work place and camera ;))
The first wall was made with cardboard and thin veneer as a base, bad choise, it warped. I got some Capa fix plates (my first experience with this material) and I was very impressed by this material. Solid and very easy to work with. The brick wall was made scribing the bricks into Styrofoam, a tip I think I got from Marc

At the moment it looks like the story will also involve a Zundapp with Steib sidecar (plastic kit) and hopefully a HD 1928 Peashooter (scratch)
I'll keep you updated!

Not bad .... -- Russ
Love the dog! ;D

Jævlig bra! :)
Beautiful job!! This building has a lot of character.
The Ranger crackle paint looks great. I just got some but haven't had a chance to play with it yet.
Very impressive............
Great project. I really like the first shot.
Snyggt bygge Per Olav! Will be most interesting to see you finish this one. Great dog house as well.
Anders ;D
Hello guys and thanks for the feedback
A small update, have just started on the groundwork. The main details in the yard is in place, a lot of smaller stuff will be added later.
Finding the right and natural place for all the details is a fun and important stage of the process, I think its my favourite part of the hobby ;D
The groundwork is made of Sculpamold mixed with sand and some colour. The "vegetation" is a mixture of small roots and forest litter. I don´t remember the name of the material I used for the pavement, its a hard foam often used in architect models..
The signs is made using the method from Chucks articles.

The story in the diorama is starting to take shape, have just started to collect pictures of this HD and will start building it from scratch.

That is neat looking motorcycle.
Wow! Great work!
What a dio, Per Olav! There are so many story telling elements. I love it.
Very nice! However it appears the dog has escaped his tether. I hope you get him back before he takes someone's leg off -- or knocks up the neighbor's pedigreed poodle. ;)
Nice job on the dio Per. The motorcycle is going to be an interesting project. I believe that's a 1928 Harley Model 28S "Peashooter" Board Track Racer, 350cc OHV single cylinder engine. Apparently the nick name came from the staccato exhaust note. With a single gear and no brakes, this is not a street machine... designed and built strictly for board track racing. The wooden board tracks were banked at approximately 45 degrees with the outside edge up to 16 feet high or so... bikes reached speeds around 100 mph... crazy stuff. Here's are more photos of the same bike. It apparently sold recently for $60,000...

Looking great as ususal Per. Thanks for the update.
Paul, thanks for the info. Very interesting.
FWIW: I did a Google mage search for "Board Track Racer" and came up with a ton of great images of sim bikes:

Maybe the bike needs a sidecar so that the nasty dog can ride along ;) ;D

FWIW Here's a page with some cool vintage pics of board track racing, track construction and bikes.

Marc
Per Olav,
do you have more information on the tiles used on the building ? A website or store name where I can purchase them ?
This small dio starts looking great, the motorcycle will be a real challenge compared with the kits used in the past. Will you built it in brass or plastic ?
I will not come too close to the store with SATAN loose. ;D ;D ;D
Jacq
Thanks for the info guys!
Interesting links on the Peashooter!

Hi Jacq
Here is a link to the shop where I bought them, http://www.sockelshop.de/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=230&products_id=22350
I think I will use a mix of plastic, epoxy putty and brass for the mc
Per Olav
Hi!
Some more work is done, the groundwork is mostly done and I have started on the figures and the Harley D.
The HD is made using brass, plastic, balsa wood (gasoline tank) and photo etch from Abers bicycle set.
Here is some pics of the progress:

Nice progress Per Olav. That HD should turn out real well - an impressive model in itself.
Anders ;D
Very nice work Per... it's a pleasure to witness progress on this. Excellent progress on the Harley track bike.... really looking forward to seeing that in it's finished state.
Paul
Nice Harley, Per Olav,
Paul's description of the type of bike and that photo make this thing sound like a real death rocket... and does the guy with the car have Chewbacca riding shotgun???
Always a pleasure to follow where your imagination has taken you ;D The finish on the house is up to your usual amazing standards... I'm assuming this will end up in Folkstone this year? I've missed the last couple, but would really like to get back over. Beautiful vignette.
Paul
Beautiful work on the diorama and the bikes ... really enjoying your work and the inspiration that comes from it! -- Dallas
Thank you for posting. -- Russ
Very nice indeed Per. Thanks for posting your progress.
Jerry
Thanks guys!
Paul, I dont think I will manage to go to Folkestone this year.
sorry about the bad quality of the shots, but managed to get the second civilain ready for paint, its a modified Friendship figure.

The German rider is primed and I choose a Hornet head with a rather surprised and impressed look, the papers under his right arm is of course some newly confiscated good old biker magazines, this German is defenately a HD fan! ;D

this is becoming a great 3D story.
Love it

Everything seemed so much more tranquil before the Nazis arrived. -- Russ
Looks like it could be springtime for Hitler and Germany.
Well thank goodness it's spring anyway. Per, is that a cast iron wood stove stuck in the very back corner? A wonderful scene for sure. Thanks for bringing your progress to us.

To hell with the cast iron stove , it's that bone next to the kennel that worries me . It looks distinctly human !
Nick
Hurrray the Nazis is gone!
And guess what?, they left behind their cool bikes ;D
Some small changes in the set up. The scene is no set after the liberation and one of the locals is showing his newest piece with the kings emblem painted on the sidecar.
The little boy had a terrible accident hitting the floor after a fall off the desk, the bike was saved but not the kid :(
Just some minor details left before I call it finished.
The name of the dio is simply "New owner"

Per Olav

A very nice scene. I like that gas pump (and the HD ain't bad either!)
Very inspiring! Wonderful details and finishes everywhere. -- Dallas
This is...like..."Knock-Your-Socks-Off Monday" around here with
back-to-back posts by Junior & Per Olav.
Great job, P.O.
EDIT: I have to add Chuck's electric meter box to this, too.
Most satisfactory. -- Russ
Very, very nice and inspiring too.
Leon
Nice Project !!
In the earlier pictures you included a kid with a bike. Could you tell me where (apart from the arms ;) ) I coudl find the kid ?
Thanks,
Marc
Nice scene, gets better every installment!
Philip 8)
Wonderful, as Ken said.
He just forgot to add his own name.
Great work Per Olav! Excellent finishes on everything and even the figures looks good - not so common. What´s next? Maybe another building adjacent to this one? ???
Anders ;D
Some really good talent here the last two days. Excellence all the way around.
