This is a pair of pics from my diorama about the repair shop of the German rail gun Leopold in 1:32 scale.
Work at 40%.

Hello

This is the update of my project.

Placing the pulleys in place.

Installing the drive wheels.

Although the picture was not well appreciated (I don't know why...yet) in the ground there metal shavings and dirt.

The red switch, I saw him in an abandoned Krupp factory in Germany. I tried to figure out what it was for, but I could not figure out .... But I liked the detail and I put it here. I guess it was some kind of emergency stop or something like this. I have put this as i saw it. (The height is more or less red button up to my elbow. Not had a meter for measuring)

Some pieces worked on the lathe.

A tank of something

Band saw


For now this is all that I have already fixed and on its final site.
Now I show you the various tests that I have been done with different parts of the diorama. So, you could see how I want to do.

Well, for now that's all for today. Hope you like,

You armor guys always blow me away with the details in your scenes. I say this as a modeler that builds most everything else but armor. Not my interest but greatly admire the level of your work.
 
Hello,
thank you very much for your kind comments.
Usually I'm a railroad modeler, but I like anything can be "liliputized" :-)
Best Regards,

Xavier
