Hello everybody,

Just few pics of the frontage of the hangar .
I've decided to do it with bricks.
The bricks are made of pottery clay. (Size 6 x 2 mm)
it's very difficult to have perfect rectangular bricks Sad [:(]

I hope to finish the frontage next week and the side wall one week later Big Smile [:D]

Have a nice day Smile [:)]

I'll just say, Absolutley incredible for a first dio. I haven't done a first yet and would hope to do as well as your first with a lot of experience. Can't wait to see the finished dio.

Wow. Just wow. That's an amazing job.

Actually, 1/48 is closest to "O" gauge. There's also "proto 48", which is "O" gauge with only two rails as opposed to "O"'s three.

The wall is made out of light wood and covererd with plaster.

Wow [:0], just 25%. It looks great already. Can't wait for the complete dio

It's not the right section but .....

Abandonned hangar, somewhere in France after WWII

Posted by liore451 on Tuesday, May 24, 2005 4:59 PM

Hello everybody,

I would like to show you some pictures of my first dio in progress.
I hope to be be in the right section because my dio do not include any armor or figures but a seaplane (already shown a few months ago on the forum "Aircraft"), an old hangar and an abandoned flatcar.

The scale for the seaplane is 1/48 that the reason why I had to scratchbuilt the flatcar, the rails and a concrete buffer.

For the moment, the finished part are the seaplane, the flatcar and the two sliding doors of the hangar as well as a concrete wall with barbed wire.
The next step is the assembly of the hangar.
