Golikell Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) I have been busy, for quite some time, with a rather large project: good (?) ol' Custom Dioramics railwaystation and signal tower. I Wanted to populate this station with a locomotive. First Baluard tpy 75 with coach came in to mind, but then I came across the much more detailed BR-52 from Trumpeter. Though no place for a coach left, I decided to use this one instead. During the war, the German propagande engine reportedly made a short movie, to be shown in cinema's, called "Lasst Ihn Sausen". This can be translated as "Let them whiz". The idea behind this dio is that the locomotive is just doing the opposite: wait till higher powers decide to let it pass. In the mean while, the driver does some maintainance and the stoker cleans up some of the mess he made. The plattform is filling up with passengers, as other trains are delayed in their turn... The figures are a mixed bunch of resin and plastic from different manufacturers, such as Preiser, Stalingrad, MiniArt, Mk35, etc. Same goes for the accessories..

Golikell Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 @Clogged: Aside from the locomotive (how long that one took, I really can't tell, since I had a break of about 10 years from building) the whole process of painting the loc, building the interrior of the station and signal tower, ect. Took me 2 years. Painting the figures alone (of which there are 40 +1 cat and 1 dog), took me more than 6 months. @Kev The Modeller: Thank you for your kind words... @#mosquito fighter Thank you. All is in 1:35 scale... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi Golikell, I missed this one, what with being busy with my own work, but WOW! . That's what I call a 'proper' diorama! Full of lot's of individual little scenes/stories, which seem to say 'life goes on, even during war.' But these seemingly 'normal' scenes give the loco a real sense of menace, idling forr now, but a huge and powerful brute, just waiting to be unleashed. Excellent work. Rearguards, Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) @Badder You exactly phrased (about the figures at least) what wanted to convey. Eacht figure has his/her own story, yet their projected rail travel or working day at the station, where this journey starts, is what binds them. Just as in real life...

dogsbody Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 That is awesome! Totally amazing. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Yes, what they all said goes for me too. Very impressive. No one else mentioned the platform, how the bricks/tiles are uneven as if worn down and well used. Attention to detail pays off! Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 @Pete in Lincs Thanks for the compliment. In this case the credits go to Custom Dioramics. There are enough shortcomings, but this they did well. @dogsbody Merci for your kind words. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolay Polyakov Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Superb work, @Golikell! 👍 A lot of details and every time I take a look at the pictures I can find something new, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 @Nikolay Polyakov I take a deep bow of gratitude! Next to being a pleasure to create, I find it a pleasure to behold too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Awesome scene, full of details and everyday situations. I do not know why, but seeing her, reminds me of the scene of the movie "The Great Evasion", when two escapees try to escape by train ... Cheers mate 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) @FrancisGLI also thank you for the compliments. It was exactly my goal to create just this. A scene which really shows the oppression of a police state, while people desperately try to pretend there is nothing wrong.
