Sneak peak of the GPLR (Greater Portland LEGO Railroaders) diorama for the
Portland LEGO store. Kelly McK and I worked on this for about 8 hours over the
long Thanksgiving weekend. It is sure nice to actually get my fingers on the
brick. It is very therapeutic in that it helps refocus you on what this hobby is
all about; good building sessions and great friends.
The display case measures 19”x 16”x 31”, hence the portrait style layout.
I tried replicating a model RR’ing technique where I used 3 blues under the
clear plates in the lower right hand corner to simulate various depths of water.
Not quite sure it’s working out...
The house on the left is a miniature version of the current LEGO set 4886
“Building Bonanza”
The house on the right comes from an idea book from 1973.

| (...) Very nice! (...) Are these the inner case dimensions? ie: the build area? Were there any parameters or limits (aside from the display size) that you had to adhere to? Or, was it totally up to you what you created and displayed? Were you (...) (19 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
