I'm sure my comments should be more technical :lol:
Although the photos show some of the details. the overall effect was fantastic, it really was a wonderfully detailed display, right down to the little rolls of turf to the shovel full of sand taken out of the pile of sand.
Damo should be very proud of what he created. :wow: :wow: :wow:

BTW I have two of the very rare sweepers for sale if anyone wants them ;D

That's a great looking diorama Damo! Some great detail work. I really like the material you used for the road roller segment, it looks very much like freshly put down asphalt slurry.
-
Nice! I'm looking forward to seeing that castle setup that's over in the corner too!
-
:clap: :clap: :clap:
Amazing diorama! Great to see all the zoomed in pictures too.
:love: :love: :love:

Thank you, Damo/Elaine! :lol: Great pics, and WOW, I never would have thought a construction dio could be that interesting! Excellent amount of details in it. Nice to see all those bricks being put to use by the brick layers. I really got a kick out of the sod layers, too, and the cranes moving the pre-fab walls into place. I think I've been inspired to get into construction equippment now! Playmobil I mean.
-
I liked the brick-laying masons too. That was a really nice feature, and I too never would have expected so much from a construction setup. There was definitely a great amount of time (and fun!?) put into creating a scene with such detail. Well done!

The fencing is made by Bruder, and is 1:16 scale - but it fits in just fine I think

Great job, Damo! That is a fantastic diorama! The collection of construction vehicles and klickies you have is really quite impressive. :clap:
-
Damo
This is great, I love it!!!!! I also do not have an opportunity to see the construction theme much so this was a treat, although my absolute favorite vignette is the klicky rolling out the turf, is that you?
Congratulations on a job well done.

such hard working clickies, I sure hope they get a lunch break too. :)
(maybe a female clicky could walk past for them to wave at. :lol:)
-
Great display Damo!
-
:clap: :clap:
I especially like the use of the non-playmo stuff like the soil,sand and turf you've intergrated them really well.
-
Awesome dio - and construction is far from my fave theme!
Also noticed that gorgeous fence :love:

Hi Damo,
Great display, the rolls of turf and its laying is the best part for me, I also like the custom forklift in the 2nd lot of pictures , very clever putting the mast onto the back of a tractor very much like a Sanderson.
