Lots of interrior parts. A puzzle.

Complete with floor.

Original doors of goods department 

They do not fit!

Adding an extra wall to the first floor.  

From stirring sticks, the roof deck is created.  

Dry fitting the roof.  

Adding structure to a piece of blank wall.  

The inside of the main roof finished..  

And being painted.  

Since the original roof of the goods shed is less than satisfactory, I decided to create a new one.  

Test fitting the pieces of plasticard.  

Dressing the oudside with pieces of cardboard.  

Adding white glue, to soften the edges  

And take fine gravel for adding structure.  

Putting on a layer of gray to simulate the mortar.  

The first piece of roof added 

Yet more dry fitting  

Painting the main roof, also adding gravel in order to get the structure even.  

Starting to put on the stone colour.  

Not finished yet, but getting there!  

Adding some propaganda posters  

Just like real life, special plinths have been added 

The obiquitous portrait of der Fürher have been added. 

WIP on some accessoiries. Many more to come. 

Creating some "life" to the outside walls... 

Then there was (a desk) light!  

The fingerprint has been removed afterwards.  

Not too big, is it?  

I consider the top floor done.  

Added a nice stove.  

And a self made great coat to the clothes rack.  

The break up te open space, a storage room was created.  

What's a storage room without storage?  

The roofing is added.  

All seams are covered with lead, just like the real deal.  

Also on the annexes.  

Yes! The station main building is finished and in place.  

It has been adorned with paper ivy vine (which received a matt varnish coat from the airbrush) and grass tufts.  

Also some black pigments were added.  

Since the original clock was damaged beyond repair, I replaced it with a Mini Art clock.  

After taking the initial photos, I discovered that I forgot to add a chimney. This has been added.  

The dressing of the diorama has been started by adding both commercial and propaganda posters. 

And a bench, which will be populated later...  

The stoker is ready to clean up the cabin.  

The broom is made of an old brush.  

Not bad, for one of my first figures.  

Tamiya's German Shepherd wil become police dog.  

It already received a collar (not on this picture.) 

 

My very first try at painting faces. Not bad, I think.  

The whole figure. The handkerchief is made from puty.  

The rear. This guy did some hard work!  

The stoker in place. 

Sweeping up the previously spilled coals  

His shovel at his side.  

View from the left side 

A young lady on her way to somewhere 

Toting her luggage... 

A worker ready waiting for his train to take him to his job 

The local gendarme enquiring for the ausweis of a traveller 

A HJ Rottenführer cautiouslty watching the scene 

Ready to jump in... 

Tanned from the many days outside 

This stern lady will take her place too

This nameplate was custom made too 

Left side of the base, ready for it's occupants 

Front view 

Right view. 

And again a bunch of figures ready. 

And more to come. 

Seen it all, hating it all... This elderly woman seems to have a downward attitude. 

While this woman, obviously being well off, has a haughty look at things 

This woman, toting all of her belongings, despite of the pleasant temperature, seems to have left her home. Forever?  

Bulky clothes are more easily worn then put in luggage... 

She can finally put her things down. Until her train arrives, that is...  

This man seems to be rather nervous... Does he have anything to hide?  

A young, well formed woman, who will certainly draw attention of the attending men...  

This lady hasn't got a clue either when the awaited train arrives. 

The rear side of the figure 

A caring mum going on a journey? 

This is more than needed for just the office... 

Whilst her little boy has to stay behind... 

With his grandparents 

Mum and son together...  

He obviously does not like the situation. 

Returning from leave 

His heavy pack leaning against his leg... 

This little lady from Preiser will find her place on the station too. 

Originally she took care of the catering for the soldiers with Frontürlaub, but not she collects money for das DRK (Deutsches Rotes Kreuz) 

Her greatcoat has got an added hood.
