I would love to build my own quarry on this scale, it's brilliant!!! Not sure where it would go though?!! Maybe I need a big shed, but my garden is too small

Hello
Thank you all for your interest in Lorramine.
"Kokosing"
I am preparing some overall photos so that you can properly situate the staging.
"Jamie"
I don't think a shed is the ideal place to place a diorama, unless the temperature can be regulated, because the models and materials of the dio's structure do not appreciate variations in temperature, humidity, sun. ..
The ideal is a temperate room. At home, it's in the attic, the space under the roof, but as soon as it's sunny, I close the curtains.
Goodbye

But I'm sure that Denis will expand on that trick. I hope it helps. Guy

It is fixed on a thin wire to keep it right:  Regards. Guy

That's just over the top realism. Thanks Denis and Guy. One of the top five threads ever, if not the top. Craig

I recently started browsing your forum and was impressed by the first topic I saw, Paul's!
The models are superb and the quality of the photos is remarkable! I will continue to view the other subjects, but it will take me time because I am way behind...
Goodbye
Thank you for the compliment. I hope one day I can make a diorama for my models: Regards, Paul R

Following some comments made on the lack of rigidness of the signals, Denis replaced originals by thin cardboard-made "flags":  The picture that inspired him:  Regards. Guy

Following a Pascal's display example ("Mayenne Mining" in this forum) Denis used a German-origin dynamite box, he bought second-hand from a closed-down neighboring iron mine, as a support for a LorraMine "explosive" scene:    To be continued. Guy

Putting a blasting dio on an old dynamite crate is brilliant. It looks great!

After some detailed inspection, the new servicing truck(*) is driven to work on the mine site:    Note *: the Haulmax servicing model was built by Denis - Michel being unavailable for health reasons - using a Miniatures du Faubourg mining 1/50 truck base on which a "homemade" tank assembly was added. Link to the original vehicle: https://youtu.be/YOMp6r80HL0 To be continued. Guy

A few days ago, there was a debate in the French Forum hosting the original topic ("Photos TP": http://photostp.free.fr/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=12533&start=2300 ) on how accurate the Miniature du Faubourg Haulmark 1/50 model was (slope of bonnet, left rear wheel, etc). Denis provided an answer with detailed measurements - showing that the MdF unit was pretty well modeled - and with some additional pictures:    Regards. Guy
