Here is something a little different for you guys. Along with military and civillian vehicles, i build these 1/48 rail related dioramas. This one was made from a kit that is produced by Sierra West Scale Models. All the structures are built plank by plank and the castings used to clutter things up a bit are both resin and white metal. The trees were made by me from scratch. This was my very first build of his kind. Not my best work, but still one of my favourites.       Let me know what you think. Regards Wes |

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.
Funny you should mention the figure Chris. I have one on my bench, just Havnt plucked up the courage to paint it. It's definitely on my to do list.
Rob I actually discovered your forum through a link that was posted on the finescalerr forum. There's some awesome work being done there by the likes of chuck doan and others. Your work ain't too bad either.

Hi Wesley
Magnifico!!! I was going to say this reminds me very much of Chuck Doan's work. Really awesome stuff!!!
I love it all, but I'm most intrigued by the trees, can you tell us how you made them?
Cheers
JT
