As you may have read by now, I like a diorama. I rarely
choose the location for myself as I'm lucky to be gifted
various interesting locations. So I arrived at Graham's Port
Factory - a gift from my friend Sally! Thank you Sally!
It is quite spacious for one of my diorama's measuring 19cm x 14cm x 4cm. Unfortunately, as opposed to Caixa de Porto Cruz, this one did arrive empty!
So I decided on a double track line, and a factory base in keeping with the nature of the box.
I painted A LOT of very little barrels and modified a few trucks. Each truck features it's own little scene once the 'lid is lifted' or the roof gently removed.
One of my favourite additions (be it a late one!) was the 3d printed hand painted forklift truck which I also attached a flashing warning beacon to.
Speaking of 'warning beacons' Graham's Port Factory has a lot of lights on it too! From warning warehouse doors to platform downlighters they all help to create a wonderful atmosphere. Do check them out in the video below.
