4mm modelling

[footplate]

Hi with me being interested in steam locomotives and rolling stock. I thought I would model a small diorama of a trainspotter watching rolling stock.
The base is an oak plinth 136mm x 86mm ideal for little model dioramas. The scene is set in a typical yard where a GWR ventilated van has been shunted in.

Hi some progress has been made on the wagon siding. Track has been glued and weathered and weathering powders will be used to blend it all in at a later date.
The wall section will have some mortar added along the top. This will then be painted up and weathered.
But for now a progress picture..

Interesting project. Are you going for the shortest end to end layout award.

Thanks Walkingthedog, I never thought about the shortest end to end layout
I like to build small model railway dioramas as I find when you come to build a larger layout you tend to loose you mojo .

I suppose you could eventually join them all together.

That has been mentioned in the past

This is another build I’m currently working on, it’s a small photographic plank so I can take picture of my 4mm scale wagon builds and locomotives. I still have weathering powders to use on the track bed area and a couple of items to add..

If you built a layout it would look superb, as long as your mojo kept going

Thanks Walkingthedog for your comments, I’m looking at building an inglenook once I plan it out.

Really like that, look forward to more images and the inglenook when you start it. Very nice indeed.
