Ola Guys

I have written another review that will probably shake the 1:35 Diorama world....
Without kidding it is something I found in the modelrailroad shop and thought it to be very usefull especially as it isn`t really usefull for the scale it was intended.
Have fun guys and gals

Thanks for the review. The mushroom looks more like it will fit 1/35.

By the way, do they make sunflowers?

Pretty darn cool stuff they make there. I personally love the mushrooms! They would add just that little splash of detail in near any dio.
Thanks for the info.

Many thanks for the info Robert. I'd have to say the ferns are a very good approximation of Mother Nature. The price seems pretty decent too.

I was just thinking how cool some mushrooms would be in the last dio I completed. Just a week too late. Oh well there's always next dio:)

Nice article. I guess I have to check out the railroad section of my LHS next time I go there.
I have always considered the railroad section to be "the dark side" of the LHS. Never dared to go there :-)

Thanks for sharing, Robert.

It's amazing to see how different branches of the modelling hobby easily can be combined....

Nice but their even more over scale than you think:
HO is 1/87 not 1/76.

Ola Guys

I`m glad you like them. I also thought they were quite usefull and I will use them in my next diorama
"Woh Geht`s Zum Krieg"
I will find a nice spot for them on one of the corners.

Hut You are probably right and that tells how much I actually know about the H0 scale...

He Faust,

The new dio ("Woh Geht`s Zum Krieg") is looking great, can't wait to see the result.
I like your work very much.

As far as the scale is concerned it's apparently a common misconception whether HO is 87 or 76.
76 is some weird british thing if I remember correctly.
I only build 72 so HO stuff and 1/76 is sometimes very usefull for me.

Keep the good stuff comming..
Cheers,
Pascal
