Hello. !

After some time without boring you, I come to show some pictures from my diorama.

Hope you like it.

if you think, you are boring us with this… just go on boring!

first question: the street, did you lay individual stones, or did you carve it?

#3

Outstanding Xavier! I’d love to see your work anytime.

Hi !
The cobblestones are laid individually. Are small pieces of clay.

I carve cobbles in another diorama, but are still in progress. When it’s finished I post it.

Thanks

Regards

Xavier

Hi, again !

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.

I was going to say the same. When a model stands up to close-up photography you know it was very well done. I’m always finding major flaws in my work when I shoot macro shots of it (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)

Right down to the Mitsubishi logo on the window AC unit !!!
