Global Scale Modeller

Well it's very, very late but I've finally finished the steam locomotive diorama I've been working on since the middle of last year

As mentioned, this project started back in June and the build thread is here for anyone that wants to take a look.

The locomotive is Trumpeter's BR86 Dampflokomotive with additions from LZ Models & Eduard.
The Kettenkrad is Das Werk's rerelease of a Dragon kit
The officers are from Tamiya
And the base is mainly scratch built on a piece of mdf, with the buffer stop from Miniart.

For those that are interested the base is 50cm long and the loco is about 38cm from buffer to buffer.

Anyway - enough waffling, here are the pictures and in the spirit of openness and honesty I have used photoshop to clean up the background in some of these as the completed dio was too big to fit in my usual photo set up; so it was jury rigged with some additional sheets of A2 paper and clutter.

Waiting for the train...














Thanks to everyone that followed along with the build thread for this one - it's been a long road but we finally got there
