This self-assembly kit allows you to build an operational shelf diorama effortlessly. Crafted from high-quality Medite MDF, it is both easy to assemble and is ideal for modeling a shelf based layout. Unlike plain boards and kits, this diorama features both a picture frame front to frame your work and a lid that can be used to house optional LED lighting. The right lighting can truly enhance any layout, and brings it to life. Please note this is for the diorama case, the finished and painted shelf diorama shown is for demonstration purposes only.
Key Features:
- High-quality Medite MDF construction
- Picture frame front and lid for optional lighting (which is supplied with the full kit)
- Comes with a Fiddle Stick - accessory for bringing trains and wagons into the display (can also be bought separately)
- Fits neatly into IKEA Maleras shelf, perfect for showcasing your layout when not in use (which is supplied with the full kit)
The Diorama is 75cm x 10cm x 18cm high and can house N, OO9 or OO dioramas (even O or NG7 at a squeeze).
One of the unique features of this Diorama case is the separate internal baseboard. Constructed of 4mm Medite MDF you can build and test out your layout onto this before installing it into the main case. This is so much easier as it avoids having to build everything through the window.
There are also two types of end supplied with the entrance hole either in the center or offset so you can decide where the track should exit.
The Fiddle stick can be slotted in to the side and allows you to bring trains and wagons into the diorama. If you want , you can get additional Fiddle sticks to increase the operational capacity of your layout and they are a great way to safely hold your locos and wagons when not in use.
Plus, as an added bonus, this shelf layout fits snuggly into an IKEA Maleras shelf (Supplied in the full kit). You can fit this to a wall and its a great place to display your layout when not in use, to make it a framed masterpiece and conversation starter.
The diorama and fiddlestick come with instructions if needed, although the construction is very easy and just requires wood glue (not included) to hold things together, we prefer Gorilla glue for this.
You can choose from one of the three options available.
1. The Diorama case with one Fiddle Stick
2. A Single Fiddle Stick (Add one or more to the above options)
