Dan Vadas Posted May 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2020 Hi all, This is definitely my last model, and it will have to remain unfinished due to my health issues. However I did manage to get a long way into it before the eyes and body gave up on me, so I do have a lot of pics I can share with you. I'll have to keep the text down to a minimum I'm afraid. Ir's a Card (surprise surprise ) diorama of the Hamburg docks circa late 1930's complete with a freighter in dock. The kit was published by HMV, and is quite complex. Printing and instructions were very good. Here's a pic of the cover art : Work starts with the dock, sea and warehouse : TBC ................

One of my grandsons (Khye) who is 21 y.o. has recently bought a house with his fiancee. It has a couple of spare rooms (until rugrats come along ), one of which he is making into a trophy/exhibition room. They have both taken a great interest in my models, so I am giving them all the ones I have left. He has also indicated that he would like to take up modelling of some type as a hobby, and is going to build a workshop in his huge backyard for that purpose. So I am also going to give him my substantial collection of modelling tools, equipment and workbenches. He's a very smart and responsible lad, so I am hopeful that he will carry on my work, including finishing this kit. Thanks everyone else for the comments and Likes. More pics of the diorama will follow in the next post.

Dan Vadas Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share #15 Posted May 17, 2020 And finally (for now) three wagons to go behind the loco : I have also built a small truck to go on the dock, but no pics of it yet. Basically all that needs doing is about 100 boxes and drums, the barges and a few more vehicles, and fitting all assemblies to the base. This might be grandson Khye's first project.

If and when he does start modelling he'll certainly be signing into MSW, probably with the Username of "Khye something". I bought this Laptop I'm now using for that express purpose - I've loaded all my modelling files, pics etc onto it so he can go back and reference my past work easily.
