impressive detail  :)

now, where's the train?  ;) ;)

ah, btw
if Your daughter would lift her thumb, You could raise the platform to the level of the door, and people wanting to leave the building and entering the train would both profit  ;)

Easy for you to say.  Until I get those Blue Moon Old West figs in my clutches, I'm leaving room for cutting out another 3mm of the doorway on the bottom!  Word on the street is they are like 20mm tall!

 :D

BTW, the REAL Terrapin Station:




Where do we get 15mm turtles playing tamborines?

There's a guy on TMP, CC, who has been asking about 15mm dancing trurtles for like five years.  (or rifle armed ape men, or somthing)

Looks great, pity it's not in 28mm or I'd have to steal it!

The telegraph pole is a nice touch.

Thanks folks.  The telegraph pole is just an N scale telphone pole. 

The deck is just a length of balsa, scribed and dry brushed.  (it broke into pieces after scribing, and gluing it back together actually made it look better.  Figure that out?

It has a ramp, that is abscured by my daughter's thumb.


Myincubliss, I intend to make a 28mm one just for fun.  Got any 15mm figures, and I'll make it and trade you?   :)

Nothing in the devil's scale alas, despite the best efforts of my LGS (suddenly stocking an entire wall of 15mm minis)
