[Wilfried]

Hello gentlemen,

just finished. A little dio of a mill at the waterside based on a module. Size is 42 x 29,7 cm. The ship in the foreground is the 1:100 Binnenschiff from Schreiber, scaled down to 1:250. Mill buildings from HS Design, added with signs, elevator. Quay layout, track and plaster designed with Freehand and Photoshop ... printed on solid coloured cardboard. Waterway the wellknown Faller seafoil ...

With lovely greetings

That is a very nice looking building and layout. Good detail and construction.

Very nice diorama indeed! This is what I hope to aspire to. Thanks for sharing. btw, the cranes and rolling stock really set this off, what is the origin of these?

Happy modelling,

Bernie

Hello Bernie,

thank you for your nice comment; the crane and the Dieselloco plus the 3 'Staubgüterwagen' = grainwagons? are included in the mill building kit from HS Design. The yellow ones for liquids are a prototype constructed from a friend of mine. And the brown wagons are from the construction kit 'Columbuskaje' from HMV. The grain elevator are designed by me.

With lovely greetings to Scotland

Quite an impressive scene Wilfried!
And as usual, you show it to us with some terrific photography. This is the kind of work the viewer needs to study for a while to appreciate all the fine detail.
Lovely Greetings!

Wilfried, that is wonderful modeling, and it makes me very happy to see how you adapt & rescale existing models to a common scale, bring them together, and add your own photo work where necessary. It is very, very high quality work. - Leif

Looks great and realistic, nice work Wilfried! The water is nice, and the edge along the wall with the "algae" is really nice. I'm going to have to show this to my son when I get off work!

I never get tired to seeing harbor dioramas (or real harbors), especially a diorama that is as well built as this one is. Viewing the photographs of this beautiful model made me feel very happy, Wilfried. It reminds me of what Baltimore harbor used to look like back in the 1950s. Wonderful modeling, design, and photography! Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
