Hello to everybody

The diorama is progressing slowly...





The graffiti shows the actual dream of us all...I guess...

Beautiful work, very well done!

Wonderful attention to the effects of weather on the structures.  I love the Covid Graffiti; It clearly dates the diorama as current.  I don't know about Europe, but in America, there should be some litter scattered about.  Keep your weathering eye finely tuned and keep on sharing.

Hello everybody

Some progress..
I wanted to have a nice end at the right side of the diorama. So I decided to build a container crane out of cardboard.




The surface of the slightly rough cardboard is perfect to represent old worn steel.

I work with a lot of paper and cardstock but never would have guessed that is card. Most adequate. -- Russ

The atmosphere of this industrial equipment is excellently reproduced.

Amazing! I would not have guessed it was made from cardboard.

Hello

Thanks for your comments!

In the last post one could see the shiny oil wagon.
This of course really destroyed the whole scene...

Thats why I attacked the car and tried to weather it.

Here a rare shot from my working place..I really try to not make such a mess..but...




Finally I am quite happy with the result.

Hi Thomas
Love this style of small detailed industrial scenes and this one is a beauty.

I see there is another one of us whose usable work area is smaller then a pizza box.  Right now mine is being shared with a 5kg grey cat.

Good morning Shitao,

which technique did you apply for the worn steel/peeling color effect? Salt - seems a bit precarious to me according to the water involved?

Cheers,
Volker
