Five pictures of the diorama in a day built for the gnatterbox challenge.   It was completed in twelve hours total time, roughly 10 hours build time, as there were a few breaks.

My entry into the 2007 Gnatterbox card challenge was Pebbles End, a shoe box diorama built in a day (10 hours). 100% card other than the obvious rolling stock. Gauge 9mm and scale O9. As I had no 7mm NG rolling stock the Fairymeade Mill Cane loco kit was one of Jim Faines card kits downloaded from the internet and has been regauged underneath to 9mm although that is not visible in the photo. All scenic aspects are my own work except for two Mayang Textures used on the base design. Materials used are 240gsm card, photo-mounting board, some corrugated card from the craft shop, watercolour paint, PVA glue and art spray mount for the backscene and base sheet. The little tippers are Jouef 009 and will run on the card rails track OK if pushed but the point/turnout is static! Location site for this imaginary railway - Ferrybridge, Weymouth & Portland. Dorset. Substantially complete as at the deadline stage but lots still to do to finish it including adding the last bit of back scene over the shed roof.
