It's ready. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That looks rather nice. It got me thinking about an art store nearby that sells several varnishes, in small bottles. I buy my styrene there, so...
Have some issues with the water in the pond: normally, I use transparant varnish, but somehow all the manufacturers have decided to give...
Like all Peco products, is their Z flex track very nice. I just wish they would make switches.
Many scales can be used, I think. As long as you don't mind the sharp curves, it's a simple way of building a portable layout, especially when...
Too late.... [ATTACH]
In the previous diorama, I had put some connectors in the wooden frame. That will be a little bit more complicated with this flight case, since it...

Some of the Dutch names can be translated into English, which somehow disguises the fact that I used the name of a friend or family member. And...
The most difficult task is finding good store names. At least, I think it's difficult..... But I succeeded and gave the stores some names. Most of...
