akelly318 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm planning on buying a pair of platform shoes that have a hollow clear base which you can actually put things into. I'd like to display some miniatures in them. I was thinking maybe some 1/144 scale houses or maybe a miniature scene? I'd like some suggestions please ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minikelli Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm going to say it's really dependent on the depth of the clear section. However, I love the idea of some of the smaller railroading items like the people and small houses being used to create a scene. Will be interesting to see what you do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I would hate to put all that inve$tment of time & $$$ into finishing a 1:144 kit to put into a shoe, but there are some really neat paper models you can print off onto cardstock and assemble that would do the job nicely, and accessorized with some of the N- or Z-scale accessories and securely glued into place would definitely make a pair of show-stopper OOAK shoes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy you mention z scale paper kits, because last night I was looking at some on ebay!! I think that's the route I'm heading toward :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
