What I Been Up To Lately:Passenger Station Diorama

[TomPM]

Next using the same method as I used on the abutment I recolored the creek wall.

First I painted it with Folk Art Linen

Next came the Amish Blue

Then the Light Red Oxide

Followed by the Raw Sienna

Next, the Raw Umber

And finally the Burnt Umber

Then seal it.

I also began working on the foliage. Here are some progress shots near the abutment. I am using Woodland Scenics Tree kits, Clump Foliage, Fine Leaf Foliage, and Foliage.

I finished the foliage on the hillside. Now it is onto the area behind the station.

Thanks guys.

I continued my tree planting and foliage laying. This time I worked on the area along side the station. I still have more foliage to place in and around the trees.

Here is the next area to be worked on.

I am beginning to work on the highway bridge. It is a kit made by Rixx.

Here are all the parts laid out.

I have begun to assemble the pier. Here is the foundation. I am planning on painting the pier after it is assembled. The parts didn’t want to stay on the spurs so I figured to go this way with it.

sweet, looking forward to the highway overpass, I am wanting to do that on our little layout. Funny thing is I put the same train station together for our layout although not weathering it (yet) and then I saw this thread. thanks for sharing your work with us, helps us new to the hobbie get an idea how the pros do it.

I am continuing to assemble the pier for the highway bridge.

Here is the pier cap

Back to the diorama itself.

I have pretty much finished the foliage. I add foliage, fine leaf foliage, and clump foliage to the trees along the side of the station.

I also completed the last section

The next few shots are some overall photos of how the diorama now looks with the foliage pretty much complete.
