Op de diorama’s vind je een grote variatie aan gebouwen, vrijwel allemaal uitgevoerd in schaal N. Deze schaal is perfect te combineren met schaal 1:144, wat het tot een populaire keuze maakt. Het aanbod in deze schaal is enorm, en voor mij is het een sport om deze gebouwen voordelig op de kop te tikken tijdens modelspoorevenementen. De meeste gebouwen die ik aanschaf zijn tweedehands (soms zelfs derdehands) en al in elkaar gezet. Vervolgens haal ik ze zorgvuldig uit elkaar, bouw ze opnieuw op en geef ze een grondige metamorfose. Dit zorgt voor een perfecte pasvorm en de gewenste uitstraling op het diorama.
On the dioramas you see a lot of buildings. These are (for most) all N scale buildings and ideal to combine with scale 1:144. There is really a lot to get in this scale and for me it is a sport to get these buildings reasonable cheap on railway events. Mostly the buildings I'm buying are second handed (or third) and already build. The buildings are carefully dismantled and build up again and do get a lot of plastic surgery for the right fit and look on the diorama.

The diorama shows a Kriegsloc 52 that has just come to a stop. Two refugees are trying to board the train, seeking safety. Additionally, you see German vehicles and a disabled Russian tank. On the side, there is a small grenade impact visible. But who disabled the tank? Was it the German tanks, or was it the figure with the panzerfaust? The locomotive is a static, painted model from the brand DeAgostini, which is no longer in existence and no longer produces these models. I have modified and improved this model by adding wooden armoring around the steam boiler. This was a common modification on the Eastern Front to protect the steam boiler from shell fragments and gunfire.

Tankberging, 100 jaar geleden/ Tank recovery, 100 years ago
A7V Arrowhead Miniatures
Carriage Selfmade
Figures 3D printed Shapeways Panzer vs tanks
Real tank recovery did not really exist 100 years ago like with these German A7V tanks. The risk of such a recovery was that the towing tank had to be completely overhauled after such a recovery or that it also broke down during a recovery.
