"evening locomotives"
@mohammedumer847 and I had a lot of fun in last few days and took some exciting photos and videos of the first electric locomotives that we made for our model train startup, @precision.model.works - check out more photos in that page and please follow both these accounts to see more exciting photos and videos in the coming days. Cheers!
Had a wonderful time yesterday taking the diorama out and take photos of this green beauty - the diorama that I built for Jeremiah Bunyan (@kjm_bleed_blue ) is finally coming to some good use for our joint venture to build Indian Railways locomotives. Please follow @precision.model.works to find more photos of this photoshoot. More exciting snaps coming soon.
We're done with another model loco at @precision.model.works
Can’t believe it’s over a year already.
It’s been a while that I shared any sunset miniature photos, so here you go. Absolutely impromptu, no preparation at all - I spotted the beautiful sunset, asked @mohammedumer847 to hold the diorama and I grabbed the frames on my iPhone - start to finish was less than 5 minutes!
#repost I know That I haven’t been active here recently, but just in case you’re wondering, this is what I am up to! Make sure to visit and like @precision.model.works if you are interested to see more exciting stuff that we are going to work on soon.
Browsing through my archives - found these nighttime photos of the layout from 2018! And guess what @waltherstrains just opened a nighttime scene contest - what a coincidence. hehe...
A true scale Banyan tree in HO Scale - this beast of a model tree is 11 inches in diameter and nearly 8 inches tall - clearly going to be the center of attraction on the client's layout!
INTRODUCING PRECISION MODEL WORKS - LINK IN BIO
This weekend's goal - show some love to this old little port! Stay tuned for ops sessions viceos.
Finally it's time to get some good footage of the engine running on the diorama. Incidentally at the tail end of the session, I forgot to stop the engine on time while being busy shooting the story I published earlier today, and as a result a big chunk of the roof corner broke and the weird angle horn was lost. Pretty minor damage for a 25 feet fall (scale feet!), but these are the last footage of the angular horn. She now has a boring twin horn, picture of which will be posted later.
