--------------
The JustLikeAwdry challenge is back! Recreate an illustration from The Railway Series in miniature, being as creative as you want.
Check out CalebTrains excellent example diorama:
Here's an idea of what sort of thing you could make. I made this model of Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady using materials lying around the house to show what you could do on a budget. It wasn't necessary, but I did end up making the entire Four Little Engines book! With thanks to the rest of the Awdry Ex team.

Oh Max this looks brilliant - love the use of literally ANYTHING from around the house. Thanks again for making this and can't wait to see everyone's entries!

[@all-in-onelearning9725]

Do you have to post it on social media because I'm a kid and I don't want to

[@iDrawComicsSometimes]

You can do it on YT

[@RainShadow-yi3xr]

That Peter Sam model is amazing! It’s so small, yet so detailed.

[@tophatgeo]

You were absolutely ingenious with how you used everyday household items for this. really makes it feel like anyone can make a diorama with enough ingenuity!

[@Terrier55Stepney]

Thank you, that is certainly the aim of it so I'm glad you think so.

[@joshuaW5621]

You should be proud of yourself for making this.

[@MacsensRailway]

[@racingdrifter]

The limited amount of materials used to create something so beautiful is just ❤.

[@Steamenginesunited3456]

The use of perspective is so clever in your diorama.

[@SootyWill]

I've never seen anything like this! Amazing diorama! Such a clever idea, and you executed it so well!

[@GuyKnowles]

It's so Amazing how you constructed Peter Sam and the Coaches plus the people figures!

[@harrisonallen651]

A book coming to life

[@CreativeTankEngine]

This diorama is beautiful and so creative! I love how you made the “fake perspective” using tiny figures! I especially love the baby Peter Sam! Fantastic work here!!

[@SmudgerStudiosYT]

I might just enter the competition myself

[@ExpressRhubarb]

Absolutely smashing stuff as always mate! Talk about going the extra mile this is beautiful!

[@terrier_productions]

That model of Peter Sam is so cute!

This is so cool Max! I might be creative but I'm certainly not this level of creative. Although you can bet I'm definitely entering in this challenge again I'm so excited for it! Keep up the good work man!

[@vik3111]

I love already Thomas the Tank Engine & Thomas & Friends.

[@cjguevarra]

[@BritishRailwaysThenandNow]

[@jakobnorman315]

This must have taken you a whole week to make this awesome

[@Choco_JKs1120]

The line "be creative like him" makes this feels like a cult

[@Alextrains502]

Cool

[@ElitheThomasthetankenginefan]

[@There_is_stepney]

Sorry for the awkwardness I am just one of your biggest fans

[@SillyDartPony2]

I don't think I could turn the people into technicolor ponies, aww (Also, why don't you clean your paint tray?)

[@specialcoaluser7371]

Does it have to be 30 cm in height, I,d prefer to do it to 20 cm in height. Cause that's closer to the equivalent height of an actual railway series book.

[@Terrier55Stepney]

It can be under 30cm yes. Full details on their own announcement video.

[@specialcoaluser7371]

Thank you 👍

[@1superphantom394]

Wats wrong with plenty?

[@SierraRail3Prod]

Can you make a drawing. I just wanna make some art and have talyllyn laminate it.
