Summer holidays! We just returned home from the tirolean alps where we spent a fantastics time. When visiting one of the countless castles I have had the idea for this small dio. It's the old friend & foe theme and we are talking about a party, well a kind of... So one more week off and high time for another modeling project.

In addition we need circular stairs. I have build these with the remains of a sponge rubber trowel (term?).

Ach ja, the walls. I have used different paper stone walls that I found in a model railroad shop.

Ha, I was actually looking for signs of a shoe box in the first picture ;)

 

Great work!! I like a lot the concept. It's hard enough on a flat surface, but in box, I can just about imagine ;)

 

Very nice, keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!!

 

Kind regards

Great idea and great job Lars. I like the shoebox diorama look. So far it's a great piece of work.

I'm looking forward to the finished product. BTW that was an awesome photo of the Alps in summer.

I hope you had a great time on vacation. Welcome back.

 

Semper Fi.

With a little help from The Chainsmokers & Coldplay I finished the U.S. figures today as well. (This is our anual family's holiday song;-)

 

 

So meanwhile on the stairway...

There's some more minor paintwork to do, some more details are to add etc.(the cellar is still too clean btw.) but I think I NEARLY completed it in time. Thank you all for looking and, if you are still looking forward to it, have a nice summer holiday!
