Super diorama! Is it really a diorama or is it a module for your shelf layout?

Looks good - very realistic.

**RichBohlman** · 07-06-2007, 12:33 PM

Thanks and it is just a Diorama to show what model railroaders can do with paper card models for their layouts.
The Internet has a number of outstanding railroad card model sites!

I am only familiar with a couple. Sounds like it could make a good wiki page if you are interested in throwing some links together in a thread in the wiki section. I got lots of work backed up already but there are some that are helping out. Heck you can make the page yourself if you want - I wouldnt stop ya ;

You could even write up an article on how you combine the paper models with your layouts or something. Just a thought though. I am on the prowl for wiki articles if you cant tell

Nice work, Rich! I think Scale Scenes graphics are excellent, very realistic. Your weathering job on the boxcar is also very convincing. Well done!

Hey Rich.....great looking diorama....sent a picture of the shed to my grandson...he was thrilled that I would make him a shed....he has asked me if there are paper card models of fencing (HO gauge).....would you know of any or have any recommendations for scratch building fences??

**Elliott** · 07-07-2007, 04:47 PM

Really good work, Rich! Have you considered doing a short article on paper card model construction for some of the hobby magazines? They are begging for things like this, especially on "new" topics. I'd imagine they'd be delighted to hear from you. It's also publicity for our little piece of heaven as well. Just a thought. Again, great work and thanks for the pictures and video!

Check future issues of Model Railroader.

I have already submitted an article about card structures and it will
be published in one of the future issues.

That has to be the most realistic scene I have ever seen!
That last shot looks like it was taken from a helicopter flying overhead!
Really nice work, Rich!

I love those scalescenes models! I don't think you can find better, more realistic, buildings for your dioramas.

Where did you get the forklift from? I must have one!
Also, do you make your own bushes or are they bought and if so where do you get them?

Russell

**cgutzmer** · 07-09-2007, 06:14 AM

Defintely ground foam type bushes. I can assure you he made them

Guy's, I really hate to bust the bubble BUT John from Scalescenes.com - Download and print realistic model railway buildings made this wonderfull display to show off some of his models. So, I really can't take the credit for his outstanding work!
