Model Building + Dioramas

Dear users, dear authors,
do you like model building, dioramas, etc.?

Together with my father, I built a large model railway for my brothers. He was a craftsman and hobbyist through and through. I learned a great deal from him. The layout measured 1.5 x 2.5 meters. We “sowed grass,” planted trees (which we made ourselves), and created a lake, rivers, and a road network. The houses and buildings—some of which were built from kits—were, of course, also equipped with electric lighting.
Even my dollhouse was properly wallpapered and fitted with lights.
My youngest son built all kinds of plastic models and needed Mom’s help. These included cars, spaceships, ships, helicopters, and so on. Later, tabletop figures were added to the collection. Some of these were assembled and painted. Although there were plenty of items available to buy for the tabletop terrain (some of them very expensive), we made a lot of things ourselves out of Styrofoam and balsa wood.

My husband and I share a love of ships. We’ve built plastic models, but also wooden ones. It’s a lot of fun.
Once I finally finish my “workroom,” I’d like to incorporate crocheted pieces into dioramas.
