Now, that's what I call modellling..

Sure is one hell of an apocalypse, all I can see is a white screen.

Anyone else come close to smashing their layout up?

[Sprintex]

No, not really

Even allowing for the subject I think they've overdone the blue flashy lights a bit.

Thanks for posting this  - it is the sort of stuff that I like and it is something that inspires me.

post apocalyptic.... ah modern image then.... 

far too many plod on the street for post apocalypse, they'd more likely be army/militia/council estate warlord.

nice models none the less.

how about this modeller's work for that "happy day" feel  http://www.visitelginpark.com/

I love the way the article describes him as working with the KLF - he was one half of the KLF!

Incredible stuff.

Great modelling, strange how it is modelled in 1:87 and not 1:76 for a british outline??

Ah! the link now works, impressive modelling but it does nothing for me. I would rather watch a jinty pulling a mixed goods over a viaduct.
Still each to their own.

Seen this before, but more than happy to see it again - awesome modelling and great camera work as well !

Not sure it was 1:87 particularly. I noticed the burnt out church and electricity pylons were both the Hornby (nee Tri-ang Model Land) kits, so nominally* 4mm. Couldn't see what make the vehicles, the police figures and the telephone boxes - these are available in both 00 & H0. Had it been made 20 years ago 'modern' vehicles would have more likely been H0; that's an area where 1:76 has come on a long way in recent years.
Certainly well done.

* OK, in real life churches tend to be a lot bigger (I always reckoned Heljan's Norman church in 'H0' would have been much better used as an N gauge model).

Superb.  Looks more like a model of a smashed up city than a smashed up model of a city to me!

I'm with dodger on this one. Interesting, but I'd rather watch a jinty on a viaduct, too. Also, having not long returned from Miniature Wonderland in Germany, it pales by comparison!

I think most things will pale in comparison with MW - I'd love to go and see it. Can't agree about a jinty on a viaduct though . . .

More like a Voyager on a concrete bridge eh?

HST speeding through a station for me. Oh what a coincidence, that's just what happens on my layout
