Update and new project
Due personal reasons and some other modelling interest there is been some silence from around my modelling projects.
I still have to paint some cars, but that have to wait.
In a box I had a lot of OO gauge cars waiting for a project were one of them could be used. Some months ago, I found two cheap showcases. The cars moved from the box to the showcases. Now I noticed I had just bought cars from which I thought they could be useful. But I like to use them in my favourite way as historical elements in a diorama. I bought a small book called “Cars we loved in the 1950’s” from Giles Chapman. This book is my guide to build up a collection of 1950’s cars. For every car I did some background research. Very useful, because I discovered for instance that an Oxford model of a Morris Minor 1000 was to date in the early 1960’s due his colour. I also made cards for my models with the name of the car and the date of production, with a black and white advert of the car. Some adverts are Dutch. For instance, the BOVAG advert .
I also started with a new building project. This time a small diorama with the pub from Petite Properties. A friend of me, a picture frame maker, helped me with the design of the base. The base is to be finished, when the pub is finished.
I will build the pub using textures from Scalescenes, Internet and self-made textures.
Progress is going slow, so you will have to wait a while before you can see the finished diorama.
But for me the process of my modelling activities is just as important as the result.
I want to thank everyone who is reading my blog. I appreciate the comments and support I have received this year.
I want to wish all of you a good Christmas Holliday and a healthy New Year.
Greetings,
