I don't know if I posted this previously, but I've built a little canal-side warehouse for a diorama I'm working on. Basically it receives boxes of apples from a narrow gauge line, and transfers them to a barge. This is the warehouse:  This is not the point of the thread however. Boxes of apples were needed.  And here they are, on the goods shed off-loading platform, and some of them already on the barge. The next shot shows the boxes of apples on their own:  And here is a lorry load, with a couple of boxes of larger fruit. They were my first attempt at apples - not really convincing... possibly a repaint and they could be pumpkins? Anyhow, the picture after this one shows construction.  It's self-explanatory really. The previous 'large' fruit that is pictured on the lorry are yellow mustard seed. The young lady in the whole-food shop was really intrigued when I asked to see her range of seeds. When I explained what I needed them for, it turned out her husband was into war-gaming, and built his own dioramas, though in 1:32... Small world, in more ways than one. I digress. Nothing more to add really - I painted everything on completion with Wilkinson's matt varnish, which waterproofs and doesn't seem to make colours run. Other seeds are worth trying - cummin make convincing bananas...  All the best, Shaun. |

That's excellent Shaun.  As you say, the "large" fruit on the lorry could be melons - but very big ones against the scale of the lorry !!! I'll have to have a look in our "seed" store - something like cabbage seeds might look OK - until they sprout .................  I'm impressed with the scene in general  Is the narrow boat a Scalescenes kit ?____________________ 'Petermac |

It might not be finished but it looks good and something different from the usual railway scene ____________________ Dave Notmutley British OO outline, DCC - NCE PowerPro, Sound chips, Computer Control- RR&Co software |

Agreed Dave. That's a great looking scene Shaun - lots of interest and some very good looking grass - as befits "apple country" ....... ____________________ 'Petermac |

thanks all the same! The grass Peter was applied with a home-made applicator, made from a flyswatter and tea strainer, both from the 99p shop... Here's another shot of it:  Shaun. |
