Abandoned mine diorama


RE#1

Well-Known Member
Had this idea for a long time. I have spent the last three weeks on this but I still have a lot to do. Building is from Builders in Scale and the hand made trees are kits I bought from Coastman Trees.

Great work. The wood looks good, but you shouldn't have hired Jim's company carpenter to put in that 2nd step for you. (HOexplorer, Building the Pinnacle Creek Mining & Timber Co. RR)

Thanks for the comments. Roger at Coastmans Scenic Products makes great fir trees!! As for the diorama everything is still in the planning phase. I am setting things in place to see how things look. Waiting for product to come in to finalize it.

I purchased the Woodland scenic boulders and will be setting them in plaster. I found a steel cable set from Roco/Herpa models that will be used for the mine shaft cable.
 
Update on diorama
