You guys ever see the "that escalated quickly" meme and accidentally take it as a personal challenge? Back in early November I was inspired to make a "simple" tiny N-scale train set (1:160 scale) for my 3-year old son Micah. What started out as a simple oval for under the tree rapidly turned into a near photo-realistic idyllic Christmas town complete with lore. In this video I'll take you all on an immersive tour of this project and go through a full start-to-finish build breakdown.
These channels and their amazing projects were BIG inspirations for my project here:
● @Boylei - Insanely detailed dioramas
● @StevesTrains - Well thought out and detailed N scale train builds
