My daughter has lived in SF for 10 years now. Love going to visit her. She lives in Nob Hill close to the California Street Cable Car line, and we have ridden it many times. Now that she may be leaving SF, I decided to build her the Occre SF Cable Car (#53007) to remind her of all the wonderful times she has had there.
The diorama will consist of the completed cable car riding up the hills of California Street, and will include a trolley stop with sign & bench, and a few passengers and a grip (driver).
Follow along if you would like. I will, of course, be lighting the Occre model with headlight, marker lights, interior car lights, and even a streetlight or two.
For those wishing to build the Occre model, I have reprinted the color manual in English with the pictures. I can send it via PDF if anyone is interested. Just PM me.
I plan on posting an image of each "Step" in the process to show my work, how it all goes together, and what modifications I made to the car itself.
Take Care,
Bob
