I’ve been working on a foam core base to show off the various materials you can use for building height into your diorama. I’m thinking of using foam, a cardboard lattice, scrunched paper and maybe shaper sheet.

As we all #stayathome, it’s great to see modellers around the world who give us inspiration. The latest to do this is @noch_modell who are running an online trade stand for a week as we can’t make our normal model railway exhibitions. I don’t know about you but trade stands are one of my favourite bits and Noch always has something I want to buy on there... I might be a little biased though as I’m featured in the bloggers & influencers! https://www.noch.com/en/news/2020/online-fair/noch.php #nochworldwide #modelrailway #modelrailroad #scalemodelscenery #diorama

This area has bugged me for ages.
On the second photo you can see the problem, the light is only a couple of inches above the building making photos hard.
It was no mean feat to drop the diorama an inch and a half to the river level (there were rapids before dropping the level). Now I’m using shaper sheet and sculptamold to put in the new river bed.

Working on backdrops on the kitchen floor. I’ve one sky piece and one photo montage.
I think I’ll do a video on painting sky backdrops soon.

I’ve been playing on the layout. Apart from repainting the sky, I’ve been sorting out some areas that bugged me. This had a section of track in mid air as it rises to the upper deck so now I’ve mocked up the scenery around it so it looks part of the landscape.
The good thing about having a break is that you can see which bits need redoing... the bad thing is that most of them are hard to reach now there’s a layout in front!

I’ve been repainting the sky on my layout. Not easy when it’s half built and it’s several feet into the corners now.
So I thought I’d post a finished micro layout I did.
I’m also taking part in Noch’s challenge. It’s been great to see everyone else’s layout.

Well done to Laurie Calvert for making the BBC news for today. His layout Cato Pass is awesome and well worth checking out. The kids love it.
