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

[robert goslin]

So I made up the diorama base from some 12mm thick melamine board.  On top of this I added a piece of 40mm thick foam for the land area, and added a piece of 2.5mm matt board to the top of that, then added the foam rock carved wall.

In this pic you can see the finished shingled roof.  I also made up a sign in MS Excel and framed it with basswood strips, and painted the water. Also made the large freight door from card & balsa.
And made the wharf planks from stir sticks.
