Building dioramas.
Spend an evening with Julian Carr who will take us through a tour of his series of dioramas collectively known as 'OF LONDON CLAY'.
Julian Carr is a member of the York O Gauge Group and has been building dioramas to display rolling stock and vehicles since 2012.
A diorama is a window into a lost world of infrastructure and Julian will talk through the creation of his own dioramas that depict scenes typical of those serving the Greenwich peninsular within the Greater London boundary, down into north Kent, collectively known as "Of London Clay"
All the diorama locations are fictional, merely seeking to represent the style and type of transport and infrastructure used by the local industry and population of the lower Thames valley, in the immediate post war (WWII) period, 1945 – 1952.
Each individual scene is designed to capture something of the memories of the generations that lived and worked in this area in the period modelled, be it how industry was served by road or rail transport in the days before pallets, forklifts or mass containerisation, where people went shopping prior to the advent of the supermarket or retail park, or even how the washing was done in the era preceding automatic washer dryers.
All the models are a combination of readily available proprietary kits, scratch building or 3d prints with scratch-built additions, or off the shelf diecast products suitably altered to fit the period.
You must register for this event as places are limited.
The event takes place on Wednesday 26th October@ 20:00 BST
The event is FREE to members or £2:00 for non-members.
