When I used to do terrain I was building at "S" scale (1/64). I don't think I could do "N" scale. My eyes can't focus on parts and bits that small. LOL

Impressive work you have done so far. Can't wait to see the finished diorama.

Thank you!!
It's been a challenge, this is building me for sure.

Little more progress, there was a minor flaw on the dormer frames I fixed after taking the picture

Dormers on, sort of where it's going on the diorama

Diorama is essentially a 1940's-50's Maine shoreline town.

This is making me want to do a diorama of some sort. It's been a long time since I have built one.

I highly recommend a larger scale than 1/160.......

The ones I have built in the past were 1/64.

Doing doors, originally I was just going to paint the doors on the capes front and back, but where's the fun in that....

Really coming along .
This is going to be quite the impressive little diorama .

My friend built it about 25 years ago, in relation to a project he was working on, kind of slapped it together.
He wants me to take it apart and do it propper.

Looks like it's going to be a nice little village when done.
