Superb, verging on jaw-dropping. To echo my learned friend John’s request above, please may we see some background/progress images? The walls, windows, floor, gantries etc. what’s scratch-built or if not, sourced from where? Is it inspired by period photos or all Imagination? We’re a fairly nose-y bunch especially when we see something of this quality :nose:

The building is a kit offered through a German company by the name of Modellbau Lasercut. It is made of medium density fiberboard. It runs around $140.00. I do not have any progression photos because I delete them as I go. This thread was initially posted on another forum by the name of Scale Model Addict. The walls were rattle canned with white primer and then dry brushed with acrylic colors. The beam and posts were covered with a craft cement type product and then airbrushed with various colors and washes. The floor was painted using various washes. As for the scenic items they come from various venders like Verlinden, Royal Model, RT Diorama, Italeri, Miniart and Matchbox just to name a few. The hose material shown on the crane and machinery is from Verlinden. The figures will also be from various vendors. I will be starting a new diorama soon so I will post more progression photos.

Delete as you go? That is a great pity… Showing the way to the result is almost as good as the result…
The factory reminds me of a youtube movie I saw about a Sci-Fi setting where a German Panzer 4 entered a time travel portal…

Believe it or not I have received numerous complaints from other modelers about posting too many photos on other sites.

What a great video…thank you…and just to clarify my earlier post. I don’t delete photos from the thread but from my phone (storage issues). So when I post on another site, I no longer have the previous photos.
