29.04.2012 Miniature parcels
Miniature parcels are some of those lovely details that enliven a model
scene. We show you how to make them yourself with little effort and without
spending any money - our hobby is costly enough! Click
here to take another pick from our
bag of tricks.
Apart from that, we have continued our pictorial on the overhead wiring
maintenance vehicle. This report is now divided into several chapters. Find out
here about the progress we have made so far.
05.04.2012 New modelling project
We are building a 1/87 scale model of a special-purpose vehicle owned by the
Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), a public-law institution responsible for most
aspects of the transport system in Berlin, Germany. Watch us making a
true-to-scale miniature of the 'OMF 3-1', a two-way vehicle that can drive on
the road as well as on tram tracks and that is used for repair and maintenance
work on Berlin’s overhead wiring network. You'll find our breathtaking pictorial
here.
Furthermore, we had a closer look at the
LED ball-shaped bulbs and the battery box by Kahlert-Licht.
Our report tells you whether these items which are actually made for the
illumination of Christmas mangers are suitable for modelling purposes as well.
Finally, our
bag of tricks reveals how we built the
no-cost photographical studio we use for taking pictures of our
model cars.
08.03.2012 Long-distance transport
Today we would like to show you the first long-distance transport carriage in our
model railway
rolling stock: The
Intercity 1st class open-plan carriage Apmz 127.1 by Roco is really lovely. As you can tell from its impressive length,
it is a true-to-scale carriage - we will probably never fall in love with one of
those shortened 1/100 scale models...
Apart from that, we take a pick from our
bag of tricks and tell you how to avoid fingerprints
on your precious model vehicles by using a rather simple trick.
29.02.2012 welt-im-modell.com has become tiny-world-BIG.com
After the successful relaunch of our German website
welt-im-modell.de a few months ago, we have now redesigned its English
counterpart as well and given it a new name: tiny-world-BIG.com.
You can enjoy its fresh, modern look, and, compared to its predecessor, navigation has become even easier.
Furthermore, the web
code complies with the latest browser generation.
We would appreciate getting your feedback - just drop us a line by using our
contact form
or simply write into our new, dedicated English language
guestbook!
