A quick WIP Picture

Now that is looking nice. Id love to be able to see this in person.

I don't have plans to move to the USA neither do I have plans to bring this layout to a convention there. (money and time)

It will stay in The Netherlands for while, perhaps Germany, Belgium and the UK one day.

BTW: I'm taking this layout on februari 24th to a modeling exhibition in Goes [Dutch link], I will take some pictures there.

[Spitfire2865]

I wouldnt expect you to lug this to the USA. But yes Id love some good pictures of the entire thing.

[UrbanErwin]

I've been building a bit again. ( actually I was supposed to be sorting )

A little Chapel on top of the mountain

With lights

And a safety net with some boulders,

PS these pictures will be deleted or replaced because of quality, it's already dark outside so crap lighting

They are perfectly fine pictures. And Im not entirely sure where this section will be placed. I am very curious.

Not a big fan of that stone wall. Just looks a bit weak. Could do with a bit more thickness IMO. Sorta like what you did with the top wall.

What do you mean with weak, in meanings of strong or in appearance.

Edit: I improved the wall and the chapel, better pictures within a day

Although the wall has very little modification, it looks a lot better now with the reinforcements. But whats with that tower ruins? Haha interesting.

[UrbanErwin]

It are the remainings of an old castle.

Wait....

the old inhabitants came to live... It hink I have to run.

Just thinking:

Perhaps a mini zombie skelleton apoclypse there

I think once its with the set you wont really notice the wall. And from the looks of the detail he not going for a real world look so it dont need to look like it can hold all that hill back and a big train.

I like the idea of having the 2nd level i would like to do something like that with mine but my trains are to long and will have issue pulling stuff up inclines. the key thing i did like was the little church up the top and like the way you did the hill. I was wanting to ask or see how you constructed the hill.

And dam you have a lot of green bricks :-)

I've made an compromise between affordable and realistic and purist.

Far too much 2X4 brick in random colours ( between 1000 and 3000 as filling)

And dam you have a lot of green bricks :-)

Once I had a bargain: 59 32X32 basplates in green for €3,75 each. (normal starting at €5,95)

Can't wait to see the complete layout!

After sunday I'll have some pictures

Ahh the colours! It burns. XD At least we wont see em. Very nice hills for lego though.

[Spitfire2865]

Very nice. So Im guessing youll build another module now? I say link up the top layer to the layout. Im curious how you will deal with the incline.

My new working spot (thank you IKEA)

with on the back, a new module I will photograph soon

[Spitfire2865]

Looking nice! And I see a monorail too!

[Werlu Ulcur]

That looks fantastic! Using green plates for grass makes a HUGE difference in the overall aspect of the diorama IMO.

[alainneke]

Looking good! Any plans for the monorail? I'm curious how you are going to integrate it into the layout without it being totally out-of-place

[Konrad]

very nice work!

Yup

Thanks

I need input:

Ugly or not (monorail track) if so how to improve.

And a WIP of the newest module:

still missing some ballast and monorail track

Don't fear saying it is ugly or so I asked for opinions.

Well, it looks "like a "static" diorama, like if you took out a section of a much bigger scene.
