Nemo's Nets - O scale, 1/48 waterfront scratchbuild

[robert goslin]

    I started this structure & diorama about a year ago and finished it back in March, but I wasn't active on this forum at the time, so I'll post all the build now as if I was.
This is my interpretation of a diorama by well known Australian model railroader, the late Laurie Green, his Alaska Inlet Company, the first 4 pictures.
    I'd seen this model many times when visiting Laurie for our local NMRA meetings and always said I'd like to do my own version.

    So here's some pics of Laurie's model, which is in a pretty bad state after sitting under his layout, literally gathering  dust for many years.

Rear of Laurie's diorama.




    I am keeping the basic shape & orientation of the building & wharf the same, but changing a lot of it to make it my own.
Basic walls cut out. Used NE lumber clapboard siding


Attached all the siding to matboard and cut out the rest of the door & window openings

Rob,

Although the model by Laurie is very nice, I'm sure your model will be just as spectacular.
Are the methods used for peeled paint similar to ours? I also like how the smaller peaked
addition is extending out at an angle.

Rob, thanks for sharing your beautiful model with us.
It's a pleasure to see.

What a cool structure/diorama.  Interested to see your take/techniques.
