N scale layout "More Details today"

 I put  some grass  on the table here. I trull y wanted to see some color on the layout ! Not ready of course as  it needs much detailing .

 I primer painted the  main town hill . Also some coloring here and there  and I am ready for the next steps .. weekend coming...

 Another view

Amore dramatic view from the industrial segment.

N scale layout "Painting and Ballasting"

Here are two photos  of the newer arrangements. I  primer painted the walls  with light grey and the  concrete road and construction site. Then  I used  a darked  grey to mark the  darkerareas and show some depth . The track area was darkened  too. 

Finally I used a lighter coating  to "enlight" some areas such as the middle of  the street .

 Here is  the ballasted  tracks . I used the fine N scale ballast  which is nearly  similar to sand . I fixed it permanently   first by spraying  it with water/alcohol mix  and  then  with mixed with water  white glue .

 I can show here  the  town area  where I arranged  the rock site which surrounds it.

 Another view of the ballasted area

 A more compete view...













 I can show here a better view of the industrial area . It seems more live  after all that  coloring and shadowing . I trully look forward to  start putting the grass ...

 

Berlin 1945 , Ho Diorama

Berlin 1945  "the Hotel"

 1/87 scale  , HO

    I  would like here to present a   project  I started just for fun   and it turned to be   a lovely result   of  a dramatic idea .  I  wanted to reproduce a "checkpoint"  in  Berlin . For this reason  I chose a 8.8 flak  that  stood  on the  tram  tracks  showing this way that  the siege  has started  an  all  services (like the tram ) have collapsed . Two soldiers  are fleeing  behind the frontline (which is actualy presented by the  checkpoint itself) and two others (I need to build more)  , who man the gun , are curiously looking at the horizon  for the upcoming  Rus ... 

Here  is the  result  until now  

 A  front  view .  of  the  small diorama  . 
The figures are PREISER   WW2 series . 
The  gun is  Roco  Minitanks 
The  hotel was a  nice Vollmer kit . 
The tracks are old  Roco  ones . 

 

Here is the  whole  diorama without  the  figures and some  wheathering missing

Here is  how the story ended....
