Op de diorama’s zie je veel gebouwen. Dit zijn (voornamelijk) allemaal gebouwen op schaal N en ideaal te combineren met schaal 1:144. Er is echt veel te krijgen op deze schaal en voor mij is het een sport om deze gebouwen redelijk goedkoop te krijgen op modelspoorweg evenementen. De gebouwen die ik koop zijn meestal tweedehands (of derdehands) en al gebouwd. De gebouwen worden zorgvuldig gedemonteerd en weer opgebouwd en ondergaan veel plastische chirurgie voor de juiste pasvorm en 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.

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.
