diorama: 4 in 1

zsuda

gemmipickin'gimmepiggy
as a modeltrainzer and a shortliner i like the so called diorama (showcase/gogglebox), as seen in for instance http://www.carendt.com/category/small-layout-scrapbook/ ... modelbuilding with reality grade ...
my current project is producing 4 diorama's in 1 square:
- the table is the normal ground, because i like the earthstructure ...
- the background is a mountainwall with different textures in each direction ... with some rocks and rolls ...
- every side has some industry for shunting and a mainline for passing AI's ... so watch the watch ...
- on top is some scenery for decoration purposes only ... also for try-outs textures and flora ...

i start in the south with terraforming ... when it becomes what i want, i do the other sides ...
after shaping some texturepainting ... and environment-tuning ...

I like your work,... it's constructive and gives you the ability to express your skills in many different ways.

Keep it up. I'd like to see more of this style.

Cheers,

Wow!
Dioramas, what a fantastic idea, I think you have just brought a new dimension to Trainz!
Your modelling skils and imagination are top notch.

I have new work to do......:D

@railhaid001: in the beginning it was seeking for a nice method and later it was fun ...

That's seriously impressive. Excellent screen shotz, great video.

As a Trainz model layout constructor it's given me a few ideas too. I generally construct layouts from the perspective of the inside looking out. This is from the outside looking in. Now ... .

Looking nice ..
... thanks for the compliment ...

How many baseboards..
... the title is meaning: 4 sides of 1 baseboard ...
you see the evidence:
#1: 4th pic
#6: overview
#13: movie .....

note: as a modelrailroader i have to work with "small" places and i have the intention to use 1 single baseboard as space ... sometimes it's surely difficult as there are a lot of good, excellent, high detailed creators ... and i want them all on 1 board ... !! ... next project(s) will be 1 creator on 1 board ... with some "featuring of xxx" ..
like this wip for instance:

M120 to diorama

... via downloadstation in ts12 (and later built-in tmr17) i discovered the modelrailroad-modules M120 from oknotsen: tables in rooms with a standard-connection to and from other modules ... they were the basic for my present imaginations of dioramas ... first one table on 2 or 3 boards, nowadays one board with several views .. i deleted the table- and room-accessories and use the floor of the board as a table ...
old M120-modules turned into dioramas:
