I just put it in Google Translate. and went through all 19 current pages.
What an incredible amount of work that has been put into this diorama. They have even acknowleged this post on DHS, and seem quite happy for the recognition. It is well deserved.
Amazing work.

Excellent. Although a 'Gong Show' operation with a melting pot of different equipment. Must have a HUGE warehouse and a bag load of contractors. Would be nice to see an L1850 in there (Down of course)
Weathering models certainly has the 'Realistic' effect as seen on this site in the past.
One thing I noticed is the gentlemen working on the 495 bucket must be giants.

Thanks for the link apm2754.
Hi Jerry, did he say how he made all the loose stone or is it real material?.
I might put it onto google translate myself at the weekend and browse through it.
Scania V8. The best sounding truck in the world.

Good question. I did go through that thread but could not find and description on what he used or how how he achieved the look. So true. It is the best dio for di-cast I have ever seen.

Please use this before clicking "post"??? You may be surprised with what you see!

The answer, given by Olive (the weathering guy) himself: http://photostp.free.fr/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=12533&start=220(post # 5) Approximate translation: “Hi, everyone. Here is the technique that I used to deform tyres: You need an electric heat gun, a small glass container of the inner diameter of the tyre, and of course the adequate tyre. I stick the container inside, I heat it up until it gets soft (careful! don’t burn yourself!) and then I press on it to get the shape that I want, I wait till it gets cold and Bob’s your uncle!”
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

Yes, Shovelman. Unfortunately, not all tyres can be treated this way.

Hello guys, Nice that you found the dio. Denis and I began the project 5 years ago. It is not even completed now. We plan to add the mine' facilities and workshop, and more if we can (we need room !) The material is real and comes from a neigthbouring quarry. Denis spent many weeks to sift the material. Please note that the basic idea is NOT to make a 1:50 scale mine ! This is a model presentation support, a kind of improved showcase. This is the reason why you can find many different machines types, company liveres and even a 495HF in rock application !! This is also the reason why there are so many machines in a very small area and strong steeps in the ramps.  That has been a fantastic project. Good you enjoy watching it ! Florian
