Sometimes procrastination is time well spent 👍😉

Robert Podkoński
That's quite an achievement, Gorby! I would never finish such dio in only six months... Fantastic work!

Simon Nagorsnik
Wow! Impressive dio!
You create a very nice scene👍

Ben M
I love railroad stuff and Gorby stuff.

Spanjaard

time model building isn't lost or wasted ..it stands still .

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Curatorm
Well... Homewever, it's great 🙂

gorby Author
Thanks for the comments mates. Very much appreciated. 🙂

Neuling
Thanks for the "amount of pics"! They are needed to see the full amount of interesting details of this excellent diorama off the beaten track.

gorby Author
Thanks very much Neuling. 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
This is brilliant job mate 👍 Really great to see another of your builds.
On the other hand I feel bit odd to see ze lazy Germans 😄 I'd say such poses would better fit a Soviet, Polish or any other Warsaw Pact army 😄 (perhaps with ze notable East German exception) 😉

gorby Author
Thanks very much Lukasz!
Personally I think humans are the same - always happy to stand around with their hands in their pockets if the opportunity arises...just that the Germans seem to be able to hide the urge better. 😉

Pietro De Angelis
Very nice job!

Alec K
That's one ambitious build! I love the damage Thor has done to that sod, nice and deep. Thanks for the pics and the prose, always entertaining and joy to read.

And one more thing: deadlines are for chums, not for properly retired, now full-time modelers 😋

gorby Author
Thanks you very much Pietro & Alec. 🙂
Oooooh wouldn't it be nice to be modelling full time. It's all go here in Gorbyland, dogs to walk and naps to take. I don't know how I manage to fit it all in. 😉
Incidentally Alec, my next project is one of my scratch-build oddities.

Spanjaard
looking forward to see that one 🙂

gorby Author
👍
It'll be a while yet - I only started at the weekend. 🙂

Alec K
Oh yes! I am looking forward to that as well. Be sure to leave a nudge in this thread please.

gorby Author
I've made a note to let you know Alec. 👍
Doesn't seem fair on others to stick this at the top of the newsfeed again unnecessarily.

Zsolt Czegle
I think you have achieved a great thing with this work. 👍

James C
Very impressive work 👍

gorby Author
Thanks mates, I'm glad you like it. 🙂

Olivier
It is about time your time would be yours tu use the way you want.

Mick Burdett
Wonderful work

Thomas K.
Impressive! 👍

gorby Author
Thanks Mick.
Your comment has reminded me that I wanted to add some black and photos to the album. 🙂
Sorry Oliver I missed your comment. Quite right, I did enjoy this project (a damn sight more than any DIY task I've had to do - but needs must.) 😉

Spanjaard
B/W shoots look just fantastic, one more proof that it is a great dio my friend

gorby Author
Thanks very much Spanjaard. I enjoyed having a little play around with the photos. 👍

Peter Mollenhauer
Very impressive! Congrats!

gorby Author
Thanks very much Peter. 🙂

Jonathon Herring
Achieved Great Things?! This is your Dr's note.
Please excuse Gorby from other achievements due to complications brought on by a fantastic build.
Dr. G. Time, Plastitrician
Seriously. Nice job👏

Mr James
Wow, lots of quality time and effort has gone into this lovely dio. Well done

gorby Author
😄 😄 😄
That made me laugh Jonathon. I suppose the title is factually inaccurate as I wouldn't know where to start trying to achieve great things. I'll stick to mangling plastic instead. 😉
Thanks for your comments Jonathon and Mr James. 👍

Christian Lehmann
I missed this completely. Very nice scenery! 👍

gorby Author
Thanks Christian. 🙂

Chris Boehm
This is Awesome. A true award winner.

David Taylor
Wish I could mangle plastic the same Gorby.

gorby Author
Thanks very much Chris & David. 🙂
Mangling the plastic is the easy bit, it's the colouring in afterwards I struggle with, but apparently it isn't the done thing to leave them in 50 shades of grey....now there's an Idea for a dio. 😉

Anthony lfk
Woah ! Gorby you are true master ! Just fantastic ! Very creative photo shooting here.

gorby Author
Thanks very much Anthony! 🙂

John E
Wow, that's impressive! Masterful work. 👍

gorby Author
Thanks for commenting John. 👍

George Williams
Looks great but railway modelling is another genre. Not only does it have to look good but it has to work as well.

gorby Author
Thanks George. 🙂

Anthony lfk
John, did you used PS or LR mask to apply the backdrop hill scenery? looks very convincing.

gorby Author
Thanks Anthony. I used GIMP as I use Linux on my PC and Photoshop doesn't like Linux (neither does my wallet 🙂 )
Incidentally it's Mark not John. 👍

Anthony lfk
Sorry Mark, my bad. I learned a new technique today.

gorby Author
No problem Anthony. Always good to try new techniques - keeps your brain ticking over. 🙂

Agrippa
great job!

gorby Author
Thanks Agrippa. 🙂

Dave
That's a beautiful diorama. Just curious as to what scale you used.

gorby Author
Thanks Dave. It's 1/72 scale. 👍

Dave
WOW that's small. Great work.

Mr D
Fantastic... Really great diorama, Capture's a piece of history.
😀👍👍

Mark K
A fairly great thing in itself - congratulations!

Desert Marlin
The story of my life!!! Excellent work!!!

Lebloge
Waow Fantastic is the right word 🤩

gorby Author
Thanks very much mates, I'm glad you like it. 🙂

Mark Sherwood
Yeh, I agree with the above superlatives. Apparently hold a clipboard, walk with purpose (albeit slowly) and no one will ask you " And what do you do?" Stood me well for forty years.

gorby Author
Back in the early 80's I used to work for a company which found that for many years one of the employees had been spending all day just walking around the site – with a clipboard. I often used to see him walk by but as you say, no one questioned him. It turns out that even he couldn't remember what he was originally employed to do! 😄

Mark Sherwood
Sshh! I'm still drawing pay for that one. 😅

gorby Author
😄 😄 😄

Desert Marlin
That's funny!!! 🤣👍
