Brittany's Diorama

Brittany, Gary's daughter, has been coming with her father to the meetings and learned to do scenery, trees, rock and

ground cover.  When her teacher assigned a class project of a Diorama, Brittany was ready. Of course, a train scene, a N scale train scene was the project.  Below are pictures of the Grade A+ diorama. (click on the picture to see the bigger size)

                 

How I did my Diorama,
  1. I found a good shoe box.
  2. I decorated the outside of the box with construction paper.
  3. I pasted blue construction paper in the back of box and painted white clouds on the construction paper for     the sky board
  4.  I used Styrofoam to build the terrain.
  5. Then I  laid down some Atlas N scale track.
  6. After that I shaped my two hills.
  7. Then I started on my trees I used the Manilla hemp rope and floral  wire method.
  8. Then I spray painted and flocked my trees.
  9. Then I painted my Styrofoam a brown color for the dirt and sprinkled ground foam for the grass
10. After that I made a plaster cliff around my tunnel
11. Next I planted by trees nd glued my clump foliage
12. Then I ballisted my track.

My diorama was a project for school and my First Layout.
My diorama earned me two A+s one was for effort the other one was for my speech.
