Looks great so far! Personally I like the idea of having the big steel mill building in the back with a smokestack leading to it. I also like the idea of having maybe 2 or 3 rail lines next to the factory to insinuate a much larger rail complex beyond the factory walls and really add a grandiose feel to the diorama. I also feel that 2-3 rail lines would add some open-ness to the diorama and prevent a cluttered appearance. Anyway, I'm so excited to see how this dio turns out.
So awesome you are doing a large diorama!!!! I am one of the many people you have inspired, Thank you and love the new products!!! I saw the videos of the start but missed where you decided to go that large. Thanks again, Take Care, Bill
I'd put two sets of rails. Towards the rear should be a freight depot type of building, the front set of rails would have a ramp at the end of the rails for loading the tanks.
Hi Andy, well you are having a hot day, here in Australia we are in the middle of winter, wet and cold, what I would like to see is, freight shed, pipes, rail platform, the crane, industrial tank and maybe another shed, it is all up to you, very best regards from Australia.
Hello Andy, this is what I suggest, yes for Industrial Hangers, Park Wall, Freight Shed, Industrial Tank and no for Railroad Crane, Diorama-Base Airfield, Railroad Warehouse, Factory Building Need platform but with ramp for the tanks and not steps. I find that if you put too much buildings it will look crowded and you need space for the tanks. All the best and take care.
Hi Andy, I'd say keep the full size buildings on the back. Add the half size on the right side, to counter balance the one on the left. Then it would be possible to walk around and look at the full scene from the back and front. Adding a half size on the back would just throw the balance of the scene out of kilter. From the over-all look of the scene I'd stick with one RR spur. Have fun.
Well, you can make two railway tracks. Next to one to put a tank and a warehouse, in the middle you can put a crane, and next to the second to make a ramp for loading cars. Put a cistern and a platform with crates on the railway tracks, as well as a platform with cars
Wow !!! Looks great Andy!!! Thats crazy!! Lovin this 1/35th scale is my fav!! Thank you !!! Make sure you have some minor details like tools and tiny equipment in various locations, and oil and grime stains on the floor area ! Wow its huge lots of choices , perhaps a few tool wagons or a food mobile wagon for the factory workers
Very interesting to see the shipment you received, hope you have room for it all! As to the additional buildings you want to add to the diorama: The Freight Shed- maybe, the rail platform- yes, the Steel Mill- no, the Industrial Hangers ( for the baseplate)- yes, Railroad Warehouse- yes, I also think there should be an additional rail line to handle traffic. Looking forward to the next vid on the diorama.
IF you use 75% of those additional buildings that diorama will be HUGE. I think the rail platform and 4 ton crane at the rear edge with an additional rail line in front it for incoming supplies and the original rail line toward the front of the base with the outgoing tanks on it. The smokestack and indusial tank located between the builds so as to supply each building. Lots of pipes and conduit running between and around the buildings
The Railway Warehouse, can that be added to the front of one of the big buildings, so it seems to be part of the bigger building. And if you can use that, then you maybe can have two rail tracks. I also think a rump up onto the rail wagon at the end of the rail line would make sense too.
You should try to take two Railroad Warehouses and make them a full sided one so than you could place the steel mill on the back(love your work so far 👏)
Hi Andy love the build so far looks great Andy I think you should put the rail way crane in place as many factories had these cranes for there main handling of there equipment off and on to the freight plus there would be a water tank as well for the trains and the depot use and you can uses the steel mill as there would be a side fabrication building and the industrial hangers could be used for the fire engine ambulance first aid centre, been a while since I have catches up with your videos as been in hospital due to cancer but keep on going. Love to all. Woody x
Hi Andy, love the factory diorama. The railway could have a u shape platform around it. One side vehicles from the factory. The other side for troops or stores being loaded onto a flat car or passenger car. The warehouse building and the water tank looks awesome too. Matt from Australia.
I really like those tanks having two or more would be nice but room may be a problem I think a crane /derrick is a must IMHO go with the double line track
Hi Andy great looking build so far most of the factory's had a rail crane and also oil towers no matter what you choose the end result is going to look fantastic Steve
RT have some incredible diorama buildings & accessories 😯👌 Was looking at adding 1 or 2 small parts to a new project but the shipping prices I was being quoted (within Europe) were ridiculously high so scrapped that idea😩! Your rail yard dio is looking very smart, plenty of work ahead of you but a great advert for their products 👍
My hope is to see a 1/35 left and right turnout. Yes Joefixx makes a couple; however, they are massive resin blocks, I would like to see track like Miniarts offering.
OMG!!!!!! Havent been in in a long time because im moving out of state. Will stay true to the Andys HQ though dont worry. Most likely ill be able to collect some more customers for you as well. Going to miss your store, was the best few years ive had in a very long time. Thank you for all your work Andy.
Looking good! The rail crane and industrial tank should be integrated and other elements to make it look good. Including many elements is appealing, not just more big buildings.
2' x 4' really isn't a lot of space for trains in 1:48 scale... it gets even more crowded in 1:35. Weight and strength and stability are also going to be issues. Model railroaders tend to work with laser-cut wood or paperboard, or sheet styrene for our structures due to the need to keep weights of modules reasonable.. Dental stone or plaster is much heavier. There's some surveying / layout work to be done... First off, you should look at how the street and wall extend to the right, to see how much real estate that eats up... maybe you need to have the street end and turn off of the front of the diorama in order to shift the tracks towards the front. If you have the two parallel tracks - again, you probably need to bring them to the front - it would be good to put a platform between them, with the steps or a ramp to the left, and then the crane at the right end of the platform. This might require some kitbashing to pull off. Now, you can play with the remaining open space, and see which buildings actually fit... the general rule to keep sight lines open is lower rooflines go in front of taller buildings. I'll stop here - there's a lot of what-if? options, and people often mock up their prospective buildings in cardboard or foamcore and "play paper dollies" in their efforts to lay things out the way that pleases them best. Lots of fun to be had as the creativity flows!
I like the idea of using the Steel Mill toward the back. Perfect place to co-locate the smokestack and the industrial tank as well. I think one rail line would be better especially if you decide to use the crane.
I always love before/after photos. I think something like this would be prime for making half of it look modern and new, the other half in black and white and busy with the historical depiction.
Lot’s of possibilities, but I’d have to consider the size footprints of these structures vis-a-vie the actual amount of the available area. I believe you be size/area limited as to what you may want to include against what area is actually available. Maybe try physically paper placement of the “possibilities” onto the available area, but remember to include the vertices element size and effects in your considerations as well. Best of luck in your endeavor.
Looking at actual factory layouts you should do the rail yard warehouse and multiple spurs. The factory would be an assembly area and the warehouse parts and storage. The crane should be beteeen spurs and the tank perhaps between the factory and warehouse unit. Sometimes less is more.
I like the idea of a second rail line with either the freight house or railroad warehouse. Makes sense from a "real world" perspective. You have one spur that brings in raw materials delivered to the warehouse and a second spur for shipping our finished product. I think if you go with any of the additional "industrial" buildings you should consider doing away with the rail line altogether and just go for large industrial complex feel.
I think the big steel building at the back right on the side personally. I would balance it out hence the height and size leaving you plenty of room to put the rail road in along with platforms possibly allowing for a loading platform for the panzers definitely what a training along with a tank but in all honesty I’m sure you’ll do a great job it looks fantastic so far! well done Andy it’s great to watch these dioramas evolve.
About Railroad Warehouse - can you take two of them, put them back to back and make one full building with wide double ramp next to the track? Will they fit together in sensible way? Its hard to tell from small pictures.
I like the idea of the 3 building one since it matches what you already have..... it wld look better in my eyes if the buildings matched.... idk its up to u just my 3 cents
Andy, well it seems to me that you will be expanding the diorama by a few feet. Or, you can just build two, two by four dioramas, or a four by eight, or... you get the idea. Just keep building😜
You hit the nail on the head. Just add more base. Your blessed to have pretty much anything you want for it. In my day I bought and sold collectables and had my collections and hobbies paid by others through that. In other words if you can have what YOU WANT at little or no expense to you or your family then happy building and look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Just a minor point but while the low wall is ok for the entrance, I think that a higher wall would be appropriate for the rest of the complex. Love the diorama and the ideas for it
Hey Andy ! You have so many options its a tuff call . The steel mill sounds realistic to me . I like the package of pipes . You may have to do chem plant drive by and snap photos of logical pipe placement . Just an idea ! I knew of artist that did that for accuracy . The holding tank is a must ! At any rate i am encouraged by the the project hoping i could do something similar one day .
Put your smoke stack and water tank near the center. To draw the eye there. Large RR warehouse across the back of the open space. Put parallel tracks and put the loading ramps in place. German's were nothing if not efficient. You will find you want to use everything, don't guild the Lilly.
I think you should cut out paper templates the same foot print size as all the different buildings , that way it's easy to move things around to see what works best.
I have been leaving out engines from under the hoods of kits where you cant see them.... my plan is to do an engine production factory similar to what you are doing... you definitely need a crane near the track though! Also a pile of scrap parts as quality rejection rates back in the day was pretty high, I plan on a goods inwards area and a shipping platform.
Hey Andy, love your models and content, congrats from Colombia south america. How can I buy your products ? Do you send stuff to South America? It´s so hard to find any decent products or even kits and I live in Bogota, the capital of the country...so that should get you a good idea of the lack of modeling stuff around here...
I'm enjoying this series very much. As you say, too many choices: my only comment would be that you cannot really visualise the effect of different possibilities just by placing the boxes: ideally you should build the models - not necessarily painted - and try them in different configurations, but if that's not practicable then some full sized mock-ups that you can shift around. I know that it adds to the work, but you've already put in a load of effort and resources and it's worth going the extra mile to get the best possible end result that will satisfy you.
Without seeing the contents/subjects contained within the boxes you intend to use for te diorama, my suggestion would be as follows; get photos of the Factories where these were produced, and the railroad location to the factory, then seek out photos on the internet of the area, to gain a feel for what the area once looked like before the RAF and USAAF 'terraformed' it, and base your diorama somewhat loosely on a real location, observe small details, and include these where possible, permitting your imagination to hold sway, is likely to end up omitting the aforementioned details, only for you to be told, after hours of work, that such should have been included, or it was done this way, and not how you imagined it was. Just my 2 cents.
Looking so far the painting on the buildings looks really great! Does RT make any battle damaged buildings? Is the smoke stack a RT kit also? Thanks for sharing and keep the videos coming!
Well, coming from writing scientific papers.... keep it simple, only use one rail spur and few buildings, adding some other details such as figures, cars, etc.
@@ezelop6988 Yes they can but they don't. It would only be done in unusual circumstances because the wood on the rail car will be destroyed when the tank has to turn. The chance of tipping over the tank or the rail car also goes up if you load from the side. A tank factory would load from the end.
So, by the time it's finished you'll need a forklift to move it, lol. Looking forward to the completed diorama.
That industrial tank will be a good addition to the site, maybe two next to a wall of a building.
Looks great so far! Personally I like the idea of having the big steel mill building in the back with a smokestack leading to it. I also like the idea of having maybe 2 or 3 rail lines next to the factory to insinuate a much larger rail complex beyond the factory walls and really add a grandiose feel to the diorama. I also feel that 2-3 rail lines would add some open-ness to the diorama and prevent a cluttered appearance. Anyway, I'm so excited to see how this dio turns out.
Andy you are a kid in the candy store run amok ! My vote is for the big buildings, primarily the steel factory. Looking good !
Andy, you have too many buildings for your diorama. My suggestion is to put the big steel building in the back. Then put the smoke stack.
My feelings, also
At least 1 longer track I would say. I don't see the 2 track idea as realistic. But 1 long with maybe 2 railcars or a ramp/crane?
Andy, it’s turning into a village.Looks great so far!
You want an idea, Andy?
Think "Kelly's Heroes" and blow the bank
So awesome you are doing a large diorama!!!! I am one of the many people you have inspired, Thank you and love the new products!!! I saw the videos of the start but missed where you decided to go that large. Thanks again, Take Care, Bill
The 3 hangers reminded me of that classic shot of tigers and panthers rolling out of the factory paint shed.
Andy, you have so many ideas that it looks like the diorama maybe small. You are making it difficult to decide. Great job
Put two of those "Railroad Warehouses" together, back-to-back, to make one building you can put anywhere at any angle.
I'd put two sets of rails. Towards the rear should be a freight depot type of building, the front set of rails would have a ramp at the end of the rails for loading the tanks.
Love the options. Have to do the large tank and would love to see the second rail line. Can't wait to see it completed.
The sky and the amount of base space you have are your only limit at this point .
Hi Andy, well you are having a hot day, here in Australia we are in the middle of winter, wet and cold, what I would like to see is, freight shed, pipes, rail platform, the crane, industrial tank and maybe another shed, it is all up to you, very best regards from Australia.
Andy’s store is just a cover for his giant stash and display case 😂….still jealous
And u could incorporate the rail crane to be loading box's or unloading parts to the shed or from it
I like the idea of two dioramas able to be slide together to create one.
Hello Andy, this is what I suggest, yes for Industrial Hangers, Park Wall, Freight Shed, Industrial Tank and no for Railroad Crane, Diorama-Base Airfield, Railroad Warehouse, Factory Building Need platform but with ramp for the tanks and not steps. I find that if you put too much buildings it will look crowded and you need space for the tanks. All the best and take care.
You're definitely going to have to expand the base Andy just too many good choices
Id say go with the "hangers" I think it would go nicely with the rail yard.
Hi Andy, I'd say keep the full size buildings on the back. Add the half size on the right side, to counter balance the one on the left. Then it would be possible to walk around and look at the full scene from the back and front. Adding a half size on the back would just throw the balance of the scene out of kilter.

an idea of a combo factory, research centre with trains and/or a dock, runway etc
Hi Andy love the build so far looks great Andy I think you should put the rail way crane in place as many factories had these cranes for there main handling of there equipment off and on to the freight plus there would be a water tank as well for the trains and the depot use and you can uses the steel mill as there would be a side fabrication building and the industrial hangers could be used for the fire engine ambulance first aid centre, been a while since I have catches up with your videos as been in hospital due to cancer but keep on going.

Definitely another Rail Line with Bumpers at the ends and the Crane and Loading Docks between. Maybe the Freight Shed on the other side 🙂
No matter what, you gotta use that crane! That's really nice.
I really like those tanks having two or more would be nice but room may be a problem
I think a crane /derrick is a must IMHO
go with the double line track

Great so far. I would be tempted to expand it even further to a 6x2 base because you have now so much new stuff.
Andy use the frate shed in the front of the Rama were u are actually looking at the back of it from the front
Looking good! The rail crane and industrial tank should be integrated and other elements to make it look good. Including many elements is appealing, not just more big buildings.

One more table so you can fit all of those. lol You can put an airfield somewhere in the rear.
looks great so far and will you be looking to replicate an actual town or location or just a imaginary design that takes your fancy.
I think the industrial hangars would be a good choice - as it may allow you to add another smaller vehicle like a kubelwagon or such to the scene
4x2…you are entering the late great Bob Letterman zone of giant dioramas…🙂
Hi Andy , as they say "Go Large or Go Home".
This needs to be an 8 foot diorama with ALL the buildings on it!
just sensational. So lucky to have the room let alone the resources! Look forward to seeing it all completed. You are a master modeller.
I think the big steel building at the back right on the side personally. I would balance it out hence the height and size leaving you plenty of room to put the rail road in along with platforms possibly allowing for a loading platform for the panzers definitely what a training along with a tank but in all honesty I’m sure you’ll do a great job it looks fantastic so far! well done Andy it’s great to watch these dioramas evolve.
Good morning Andy. I would take 2 of the steel buildings & placed them back to back. Making 1 large building.
Another idea would be to have more rail lines 🙂
Andy those look awesome!!! Any plans on a 1/48 scale of these buildings? This is a huge miss for all of us 1/48 airplane and armor model builders.
Yep now I need to decide what I'm buying......
Don't know about the new stuff but move that sentry box behind the barrier and turn it 45 degrees so it's facing across the entry .
About Railroad Warehouse - can you take two of them, put them back to back and make one full building with wide double ramp next to the track? Will they fit together in sensible way? Its hard to tell from small pictures.
Regarding the railroad warehouse. Double up the two half of the build and just not use the steps and cement area on one side.
I like the idea of the 3 building one since it matches what you already have..... it wld look better in my eyes if the buildings matched.... idk its up to u just my 3 cents

In other words if you can have what YOU WANT at little or no expense to you or your family then happy building and look forward to seeing what you come up with.
I prefer the industrial hangars over the factory, you could build an active scene inside the open doors.
Looks good just make the diorama base bigger to fit all the buildings you want on it..
Just a minor point but while the low wall is ok for the entrance, I think that a higher wall would be appropriate for the rest of the complex. Love the diorama and the ideas for it
I think with all the additional pieces you are going to need another 4' minimum. Fun stuff.
Hey Andy ! You have so many options its a tuff call . The steel mill sounds realistic to me . I like the package of pipes . You may have to do chem plant drive by and snap photos of logical pipe placement . Just an idea ! I knew of artist that did that for accuracy . The holding tank is a must ! At any rate i am encouraged by the the project hoping i could do something similar one day .
Oh GREAT WORK so far 🙂
Put your smoke stack and water tank near the center. To draw the eye there. Large RR warehouse across the back of the open space. Put parallel tracks and put the loading ramps in place. German's were nothing if not efficient. You will find you want to use everything, don't guild the Lilly.
Hehehehe now we need these in 1/16 to go with your new kits from Takom
AS YOU HAVE A CHIMNEY YOU NEED A POWER HOUSE , THEN WHITH A RAIL ROAD STORAGE SPACE WHITH A RAMP DRIVE ON OFF SO DOUBLE TRACK .
I think you should cut out paper templates the same foot print size as all the different buildings , that way it's easy to move things around to see what works best.
I have been leaving out engines from under the hoods of kits where you cant see them.... my plan is to do an engine production factory similar to what you are doing... you definitely need a crane near the track though! Also a pile of scrap parts as quality rejection rates back in the day was pretty high, I plan on a goods inwards area and a shipping platform.

I want all! 😆
Have a small bombed out section being rebuilt, With some Tecknichenothelf (TENO) vehicles and workmen.
choices!
I'm enjoying this series very much. As you say, too many choices: my only comment would be that you cannot really visualise the effect of different possibilities just by placing the boxes: ideally you should build the models - not necessarily painted - and try them in different configurations, but if that's not practicable then some full sized mock-ups that you can shift around.

Ok, je super produits mais j aime aussi faire mes décors, et pas mal du tout ces modèles 👍👍👍👍👏👏
why not do them all and create a model factory? ( or even a Ruhrgebeit) You'd need a bigger shop though lol
hi Andy how about sniper elite diorama with a tiger tank and truck
Without seeing the contents/subjects contained within the boxes you intend to use for te diorama, my suggestion would be as follows; get photos of the Factories where these were produced, and the railroad location to the factory, then seek out photos on the internet of the area, to gain a feel for what the area once looked like before the RAF and USAAF 'terraformed' it, and base your diorama somewhat loosely on a real location, observe small details, and include these where possible, permitting your imagination to hold sway, is likely to end up omitting the aforementioned details, only for you to be told, after hours of work, that such should have been included, or it was done this way, and not how you imagined it was. Just my 2 cents.
Don't loose the story your trying to tell Andy, I know I would with access to all those goodies.
hi andy please build more models
2 rail spurs for sure!
You're going to need more wood, great job so far.
Add another section. Just think that would look in the shop.
I think you need some protection such as 2 x German 20mm Quad Flak 38
Top job!!
Andy you need a scissors lift to move that thing around
Andy, you’re gonna need a bigger base! 👍🏻🇦🇺
Great stuff! Keep on building Andy!
Looking so far the painting on the buildings looks really great! Does RT make any battle damaged buildings? Is the smoke stack a RT kit also? Thanks for sharing and keep the videos coming!
Awesome
Well, coming from writing scientific papers.... keep it simple, only use one rail spur and few buildings, adding some other details such as figures, cars, etc.
Tanks aren't loaded (onto rail cars) from the side. They are loaded from the end...
He knows, he mentions that.
tanks can also dive from the side (through a ramp)
@@ezelop6988 Yes they can but they don't. It would only be done in unusual circumstances because the wood on the rail car will be destroyed when the tank has to turn. The chance of tipping over the tank or the rail car also goes up if you load from the side. A tank factory would load from the end.
Add the Steel Factory
