  Remember Pearl Harbor

Every year, fewer and fewer of us remember the important dates in American history.

Today is the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor which unleashed the horrific war that followed.

  SIDI FONTANA MOROCCO 1916 scale 1/72 oo9
Posted by: franckcombe - 12-07-2014, 10:37 AM - Forum: Layouts - Replies (69)

[Image: titre.jpg]

Hi,

I will start a new layout after the woolacombe bay and the nearly finished vestvagoy.

At an exhibition, a friend offered me these postcards

[Image: Meyer-photo1.jpg]

[Image: Meyer-photo2.jpg]

I wanted to do a layout based on these photos but at 1/13 scale it was not possible. So I choose to do that at 1/72 scale because at this scale there are french military figures and arabs too.

At Morocco in 1916, the french developed narrow gauge railways of 60 cm for civilian and military used. 60 cm at 1/72 scale is more of less 9mm, so I could used too the 009 material.

The layout will be an oval of 120 cm by 47 cm with an hidden part behind to finish the oval

The layout will look like more or less to that.
