Blacksmith's Shop

[Larry C]

Thought I would share a diorama I made shortly after Sierra West came out with their Blacksmith's details.







The structure itself is of my own design. I only did the back half of the roof so all the details would be visible. The windows were scratch built as well.Also the water cart was another scratched item using wheels from Wiseman. Don't recall where the horses are from but I painted and weathered those as well.

Most of the interior details are Sierra West with the exception of the drill press & motor, Crow River products, on the left and the workbench and cabinet on the right; those were also scratch built. The smithing details came as 3D printed parts which were painted then weathered before gluing into place. Started placing them from the back forward and used tweezers a lot of the time. The pine trees were constructed from dowels and cheap furnace filters spray painted then a fine green flocking was added while the paint was still wet. Since the structure was parallel with the front of the diorama I decided to add the track at an angle just to break up the look.

This was a fun build; enjoy the photos.
