Looks very good, Maarten. Is this scratch built? Can you share how you painted it?

Hi Mask & Sebastian,

Yes my own creation and i have got the Miniart Tram to go with it.

Al painting is done with Vallejo acrylic paint.

first i primed it white than some pre shading (dark grey).... then white again on the ornaments.... mask every thing of with tape (the white parts) and aibrused the blue in .


The road is painted dark braun and than individually painted most other stones a different shade using the main color as a base.

And the hole thing was weathered and pin wased with different shades of Oil paint

Maarten.

Outstanding creation!! This would be a great focal point in a diorama. I can also see this working in scenes from pre-WWII to post apocalypse.

I used the road that came with the Mini-art kit and made a rubber mold from it,
The part of the track/rails is cast in resin (so i wont chip the track) and the sides are cast plaster

This is looking interesting. A very thoughtful technique with the mixed media casting of the upper track area
