CaptOblivious Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Well, I got a mention on this month's "Small Layout Scrapbook", woot! link: http://carendt.us/scrapbook/page74/index.html (if you can't figure out which is mine, I model Japanese prototypes ;) ) This was just something I put together in spare moments on my laptop. I'd like to be able to build this when I finish Akihabara Station. But I'm curious: I know Martjin has no space. Who else on this board has an interest in micro-layouts? Link to comment
Bernard Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Congratulations!! That is one interesting plan you have and what an interesting link. I have to think about the mirco-layouts, I still have a lot to do on my layout, but I might be interested in doing one in the fall. it seems that they are mostly switching layouts? Link to comment
acousticco Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Mini layouts are one of my favorite things!

CaptOblivious Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Thanks! Wow, that's quite a lot of layouts! I don't have enough space to store but one or two of those :D Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I think they have quite a bit of charm, but I don't think I'd ever make one myself. I'll stick to diorama's. Well.. Unless someone can tell me how to make a micro-layout that can handle a 16-car shinkansen =) Link to comment
