Diorama 1:87 | Dioramania!

On the dioramas you see a lot of buildings. These are (formost) all H0 scale buildings. 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 dismanteld and build up again and do get a lot of plastic surgery for the right fit and look on the diorama.

1:87 "Stad voor stad" (City after city)

The biggest military diorama I've made so far. This time not a H0 building but the 1:72 Berlin house (italeri) downsized to 1:87 (H0). It was an enormous job to do this but worth it. For example I made around 100 smaller windows. Behind some windows there are furnitured rooms.

M4 Shermans, M5 Stuarts, M3 Halftrack, Panther A Artitec (some models were ready made but got some extra's)

Jeep, Beep, Wrecked Opel Blitz Herpa

Trams ? The trams were toys and got a lot of plastic surgery to get tem realistic (they were totally not at the beginning).
