Most paint work done, I will continue with rest of the interior and finishing touch at the end.





Thanks for looking
Libor

I have windows on, even glassed in. Also lamp and working hang light finished. Now I will focus on the walls and floor. Pigments and washes will be done later, when the interior is completed. Weathering from outside much later, when everything is set up, glued, painted - still too far from now.

Hi, all,
I have made another progress, but not pictures yet. Currently I am getting ready drawings for next scratch build, warehouse with ramp, located in the centre of my diorama. The final result should be close to this, with different roof and some adds. More pictures soon.



Cheers
Libor

A few more adds for the interior, the walls painted. Bricks inside do not look good, I will check their appearance through windows, and kind of plaster might be applied, if necessary.




Cheers
Libor

Building glued together, the interior looks good and some pictures will come, when the light inside works.Upper window frames will be added soon, with some broken glass, sheet metal will be used to close damaged roof, and the remaining parts, edges and floors, will be painted. The picture taken in German museum will be a lead for water crane scratchbuilding. Base for coal supply done, I will cut it to required appearance and cover it with coal.

Building of the warehouse is going ahead, also coaling started.




Cheers

Hi Libor,

Very nice build so far! What a big project you're making
I'd like to know what brand you use on stone wall above? Do you make one yourself?
I'll watch your progress clesely.

Thank you, Harmawan,
for stone and brick surfaces I made simple latex rubber moulds, and now I cast thin resin sheets for my builds. They are cut easily by knife or modelling saw.
Libor

Now I have finished roof for the warehouse, gutter channels left for later, and also two walls with their doors done.





Cheers
Libor

thats bloody unreal mate, keep up the good work!

Good progress Libor. Enjoying this blog, and the structural work.

Thank you, guys, for the kind comments.
Front wall completed as well, I have added window frames (glass after painting) and a latch. Time has come to glue all the walls together.




Thanks for looking
Libor

I am finding your builds Interesting and imformative, ( lots of COOL Detailing). Great Work ! milvehfan

Thank you, buddy,
that is the coolist thing, if my work can be handy for some else.
A few more pictures, I glued the walls and checked all together. Small inaccuracies to be fixed when main building is done. So far I am very happy with my progress.




Libor

Another bit done, the stairs came out and paint job started. Once again my painting goes the hair spray technique way. After priming the resin parts I have airbrushed the roof with red base with some rusty spots. A shadow of grey wil by next, when varnish coat is on. I have also tried plaster texture on outbuilding walls.





Thanks for looking
Libor

The wood painting started with using Mig pigments and thinner. Darker wash and some dust will be added at the end.




Libor

Very nice progress, Libor.

Looking forward to see more

Great stuff Libor!

HOW DO YOU DO IT ???? My Wood, (Real or Plastic )never turns out looking so good. Keep the installments coming, enjoying your railway dio work. milvehfan

Libor, excellent job going on there. Makes mine look like some small guage side track, well it is. Question for you. What are you using for track? I had used some large guage flex track and had to cut down on the width of r/r car. Got ahold of some C.D. track and am not happy with them. And here I am in the middle of R/R country and the R/R guy's can't tell or even stear me in the right direction.

Hi Libor,

Excellent stuff, looking good.

Al

Thank you, all, for the kind comments.
milvehfan, this was actually easy, just 3 different Mig pigments and thinner for washes, started with ligter shadows and continued to darker ones. Then fixed a bit with their fixer, I did not want to use varnish this time. I will use later dark wash to get it even darker, according to my reference picture (which is too dark, I´d say, but I do not want to follow it exactly, using different roof and so))




Bob, in my 1/35 scale I can simply use Trumpeter´s tracks sold separately , which are good enough, I mean nice made wood and good looking metal parts after some work with putty and sandpaper. The bolts and shins look very authentically. The other parts, like switches and so, I will again scratch build. I´ll keep going with the stone walls now and some pictures will come out soon.
Thanks for looking
Libor

The floor finished and some dust added on the building walls. I have begun painting of the stone base, and scratch building of the containers. Stone walls of the extended ramp almost done, once again wash and pigments will be used when iron angles are painted.





More soon
Libor

The quality of your work is impressive, both painting and scratch building, well done.

May I suggest you put the buildings and track at an angle to the edges of the diorama? Things never look as good if they are all lined up with the edges.

Keep up the good work,

James
