Norton74 Posted September 9, 2020 Winter Garden This diorama was on my wishlist since a long time. My goal was to recreate a welcoming room full of plants and flowers while using many pieces from the Scala, Fabuland and Belville series. I have been collecting these kind of pieces in the past few months, and have finally placed them in my Winter Garden. If you look carefully you'll notice many Scala pieces like the award ribbon, the watering cans, the cloth rug, the chairs, the wicker baskets and the suitcase. Even the white cat waiting for the mouse on the chair. The coffee-table legs are linked via the Scala towel bar, a piece I had never heard of, but very interesting. I also added a couple of Fabuland utensils: the camera on the cabinet and the jerry can. There are many plants and flowers and I used different kind of utensil to create the plants supports (hockey sticks for the cactus, brooms for the ficus). There are many others details and NPU, have fun spotting them! It was very funny building it and it's something different from my usual comfort zone. Hope you like it!

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted September 10, 2020 This is a masterpiece ...but I'm not surprised since we're talking about @Norton74 ! I really like the design of the objects, especially the cabinet door with the wicker finish ...that piece of furniture reminds me of the hotel room from the first 007 movie License to Kill ...great work!

Vindicare Posted September 11, 2020 This is fantastic. It looks so life like. Even knowing it’s not, it’s hard to tell. Those cabinet doors are especially noteworthy, the detailing is impressive. And I love all the plant life. And the staring contest happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
