Fits together like a dream Verified Purchase

These boards are so precisely made that they fit together perfectly. For a ham handed guy like me with less than zero carpentry skills they are a saviour.

They're just great! Verified Purchase

I didn't find the fit as tight as some have said but tight enough. Took me less than an hour to assemble three units. If only the rest of the layout was going to be that easy.

Compact diorama board large enough for smaller 7mm scale models

Well-designed and easy to assemble using fingers and wood glue; no mallet required. I painted mine with Rustins MDF sealer on all surfaces as a precaution against future warping.

Easy build baseboard

I’d been looking at these baseboards for a while, as my woodworking skills are sadly lacking. The space under the boards would also save me crawling under to fit point motors etc. I wasn’t disappointed, the baseboard arrived in double quick time and proved to be as easy to build as stated on the website. A quick test fit, some wood glue and in around 15 mins I had a new baseboard. Need to order the rest of them now and crack on with the new layout. Ron

Amazing Solid Boards

They really are a nice piece of kit! Solid and easy to build, great for dioramas, like the O gauge one I'm building with them. I'd you are looking for boards of this size, this is the way to go!

Well pleased with this item. Went together without trouble. Used Gorilla Wood Glue. Main reason for purchase was to use it as a photo booth. Other ideas may well stem from buying this. Purchased a central section as well. Watch this space !!!

I am delighted with the diorama baseboard. 100% satisfaction. Customer service excellent. This review is for BB001 and BB002 both twin packs. They were very well packed and arrived quickly. I assembled the baseboard in a few hours, including a few tea breaks, and I am thrilled with the result. Full instructions are enclosed and it is really easy to build. All the sections fit perfectly and the Super Phatic glue bonds very quickly using only a small amount. My baseboard is over 160 cm long so I glued strips of wood over the joints on the back panel, as recommended by Scenic, and the entire baseboard is rock solid and very stable. This baseboard kit is ideal for a beginner and I am really looking forward to creating my first 00 gauge model steam railway Diorama.

large boards ends and middle

this product makes life easy as some of us have arthritis but i had no problem assembling these units no hassle beautifully cut and just went together as instructed can thoroughly recommend this products and will be ordering more soon one thing i might suggest is that you include two bolts in the end kits like you do for the centre units very satisfied customer

Just assembled a pair of these boards (one end board and a medium centre). Very impressed - they went together quickly and precisely. They're rigid but lightweight and very well designed. Perfect for the little OO6.5 narrow gauge layout I have in mind to fit in a bookshelf. Superb!

S
Stuart

Simple and easy to build although I would definitely recommend using glue to make sure the boards are securely fixed together. The spacers provided mean that it's simple to join two or more boards together (if you buy a centre piece). They are sturdy but lightweight. A great base for any kind of diorama or, in my case, to have a mini N gauge model railway in very small space. I just need to build the scenery and lay the track now!

The baseboards are superb, I needed something to refresh my creative processes as I'd become a bit stuck. These baseboard modules slot together easily and I can now go ahead with renewed vigour (good grief! Where did I get that from?). They arrived safely and very quickly and were superbly packed. Top marks to the SMS gang!
