Hi everybody, I present you all a "1980´ish european industrial diorama". I work professionally with industrial automatization, and through the years I´ve been inside all kinds of plants and factories. And I´m always impressed by the installations and logisitcs needed to make a big factory work. Normally I like to build my models to scale, but there is just NO WAY I could do that with this model; What I show here in a couple of meters, would probably need more than 500 meters of manufacturing lines in real life. An overview from the street-side; -And as sseen from a minifigs stand point; The old boiler-house which now also holds the reception and storrage, and has a connection to the rail way and a portal crane. The rails continue past, and all the way into the main factory building. All the photos above shows the diorama as initially seen by spectators. What appears as a nice and clean build holds a surprise, once the spectators goes around the stand, to see the diorama from the other side; -A complete interior decoration, with numerous details and scenes embedded in it! Here some ratehr general photos, to show the density and size of the detailing; You can compare the interior of my model with a video from a real-life Citroën factory. This factory is in Portugal, although my diorama is not supposed to resemble this (or any other specific plant) at all. I´ve also reproduced administrative and "other" workplaces, as shown on the next photos. Notice the use of "cut-out" walls, to allow visual access to these areas; Technical specifications of the diorama; Building time: May to November 2013 Measurements: 3x11 base plates Vehicles: 20 2CV´s in different states of termination 10 different cars, trucks, buses 2 rail-vehicles Minifigs: 50. In multi-ethnic flesh-tones. (No “yellows”) The layout has been showed at the HispaLUG Expo in Madrid, and is currently at display in Bilbao, as part of the exhibition “Toys for all life”. (“Juguetes de toda la vida”). Last photo; Happy New Year to everybody!
