Loco shed & repair.

[Xavier]

Hello.
I'm back again to boring you with another project from my workbench.
This time is a loco shed & repair.
This models is just a half of a building.
Like a cutaway for photo purpose.
This is a diorama, designed to take pictures of rolling stock.

beautiful work, love the details; it is awsome the kind of details you can get in large scale.. thank you for sharing, might need to try to do something like this in O scale once my 4-4-0's start to shape up

I always enjoy a good craftman doing scratch builds. Great attention to detail.. Sometimes I get carried away with the details, but they do enhance the build. One of my old sayings, is " A model by itself, is just a dust collector, but put it into a diorama and it tells a story." Yours definitely does that very well, a story without words. Thanks for sharing.

Like your builds, no words are needed, just keep doing what you do for everyone's enjoyment. Thanks for sharing.

This is awesome! Just had to say.

I came looking for papercraft, but my main interest is miniature wood working. Ships, doll houses, HO scale buildings, etc. I use paper craft when things are not available in wood, like SCI FI models

It looks like you planked it all in strip wood, not using larger pieces and scoring them. That is the way to build Like it was done in life size. I love strip wood. Unlike most of my woodworking friends, I can move my whole lumber yard around on a dolly

I always find it so amazing how the first piece of board you laid down, already looks like a full size one, and the project seems like the real thing from day one. Fantastic!
