I always wanna make a Hong Kong building on fire diorama, finally I have done it! This diorama is relatively small, it is only (12Wx16Lx15H)cm, but it is a very busy diorama with lots of action happening.
This is a frictional diorama not based on actual scene. The scratch-built tenement building is based on common 1960-70s style residential buildings. Also the pedestrian flyover is based on a typical Hong Kong's style flyover.
The smoke was made of cotton, and the fire in the apartment was created by Daiso's LED candle lamp.
All vehicles are Hong Kong's '80M Bus Model shop' models but I further weathered and highlighted them by applying layers of brown & black wash. There are only two types of fire truck available from 80M, the Hydraulic Platform (white ladder) and the Turnable Ladder (highest silver ladder) respectively, therefore the fire major pump truck (far left, the one under the pedestrian bridge) was created by modifying a spare hydraulic platform truck model by a bit of scratch-building & repainting.
The policemen & firefighters are Tomytec figures that repainted to Hong Kong's uniform colours. They were all applied with layers of brown wash for high-lighting.
I added various details to make the scene as realistic as to an actual fire scene as much as possible, by adding the water pipes laid on the street by firemen which is common in a fire fighting scene. I also added some water on the street to show water spill from trucks & pipes. Burned debris dropped on the street directly under the burning apartment are also added.

Here's another shot of the abandoned home I posted titled "The View". As you can see, this house is bigger than you would think with myself in front for scale. I'm 6'2, 260 pounds, and this simple biscuit box house towers over me.

My kitchen scales didn't work so I thought they needed new batteries. The label says "Child Resistant Package" and it certainly is. With kitchen scissors and my pocket knife, I managed to get the batteries out … and the scales work now 😀

Scale cars such as this were used to weigh materials - such as coke - which were then deposited into the furnace. The two buckets (known as hoppers) on the front of the car would be weighed by the car's operator in the cab. The cab would then travel to the number 5 Bessemer furnace at Cleveland ironworks and unload it's content to continue the metallurgic process. This scale car was used extensively throughout the latter half of the 20th century until the closure of the Teesside plant in the 1980's

A video taken on my HO Scale layout. All but one of the buildings in the center of the layout are from a layout I had as a child 40 years ago; most are Plasticville and Atlas structures. The rolling stock is a mixture of Tyco and Athern equipment from the original layout, Life Like equipment for two train sets that were given to me, and Bachmann. The trackwork is Life-Like EZ Track.
Since it is a throwback to my youth as well as for the kids and grandkids, it is all DC and horn hook couplers for ease of use. The feel is also a throwback to the small towns I remember growing up; with lots of "easter eggs" from moments and places in my life.
