Oh, I forgot to mention. The edges of the boards at the corners have been neatened and finished off with some 2mm square section spruce. And on to the roof. Corrugated iron, of course. The roofing sheets are cut from corrugated cardboard picked up at the local $2 shop. I found a few different...

Thank you for the very kind words. I've certainly learned a lot through this first building build and intend to do more somewhere along the way. So, the fence is sort of done and I have the base to a certain point. Let's get back to the shed and the tedious job of weatherboard cladding. The...

Awe inspiring work. Is their an intended viewing point for the finished piece, or is it intended for the viewer to move around it so as to discover the scene in full? Embs

Wow. Wonderful work. Embs

Why thank you sir. Now.... where did I get to. Ahhh yes... Yard fence. Well... That's basically the same story as the shed frame. Cut. Stain. Glue. Then do it all over again. Spruce again for the supporting work. Upright posts cut from 6mm x 4mm and notched. And 2mm square for the rails...

With the garage itself starting to take shape time to think about a yard for it to sit in. This is the way I've done much of the terraforming on my track. I thought long and hard about the size of the base (but not long and hard enough.... more on this later) and decided that 450mm square would...

Thanks. The stain colour looks much better in natural light than under fluro. And I've adjusted it a little along the way depending on the wood I'm trying to represent. On to the roof... Trusses took me a while to work out for some reason. But I eventually managed to get them sorted and the...

Most of my modeling (I use the term fairly loosely) is terrain and scenic work around my slot car track, which has been a work in progress for 3 years or more now. As well as driving cars around the track I use it a lot for photographing the cars in my collection. Trouble is that the toy room in...

Thanks for the welcome folks. Ravhin, there's plenty more of the scenery to see. The track table is 3.5m x 1.5m. That makes for a rather large diorama. :) Cheers Embs

Thanks for the kind words. I have some WIP photos from one of the very early boxes, but none from later ones. Inclined to get a little meditative when working and forget to take progress photos. I'm sure others know what I mean. I'll try to capture progress on the next one. But I managed to get...

Absolutely stunning work. Sensational. Oh, I have so much to learn. Embs

Most of the what I do currently is scenic diorama at 1/32 for slot cars. The on-going project is, of course, the track which has been a work in progress for 3 years now and will probably continue to be in progress for ever more or until it gets replaced by something bigger. But here are some...

Thanks for the welcome folks I think somewhere along the line a train guy got bored with going backwards and forwards and decided to go round and around instead... at speed. ;) But seriously, there is so much detail in some of the new slot cars on offer it doesn't seem right to neglect the...

Greetings and salutations from the big island at the bottom of the world. I built a few plastic static kits as a kid, but never anything substantial. My older brothers took their turns at Airfix aircraft and battleships, but cars were always where my heart lay. But for some reason I could never...
