Simply fantastic… I need to spend some time with this set of pics. Everything is so incredibly well modeled but what really stands out to me is the beautiful texture and weathering on the wood walls. Then combine that with the texture of the dirt… Simply fantastic Alan. Hall of Fame.

Alan,
This is really great. I like your scenery and its ingenuity with the model. Very original

Really, really outstanding. Great rocks, retaining walls, super coloring and texture of wood and details and of course there are lights.
I’m more and more intimidated as I see the output of the modelers on this forum. I’m trying to screw up enough courage to post my feeble attempts on my latest build.

Fantastic Alan, such a beautifully done diorama. It gives the viewer a whole ‘feeling’…
The scenic elements are just superb, and those structure walls and details are perfectly done. Everything is ‘one’ and fits together seamlessly,
Really great work.

Home run Alan! You nailed the “rustic” run-down feel in your structures and and your stone work on the scenery is outstanding!
Bonus points for nice lighting and photography, too! For me, that last picture says it all (a storm looming off to the right and the right side of the building is in shadow–not sure if you planned that or what, but I love that view).

What everyone else said. Plus that is one “AWESOME” diorama. Hall of Fame for sure like Brett said.

Wow!!! You creativity beyond the kit is simply outstanding. The look and feel of the diorama is very believable. I will definitely use this as a model and guide and I venture forward with new builds. Phil

Great job Alan. After this many posts its tough to come up with a new superlative. Let’s just say it’s modeling at the highest level. Not a bad kit design either.

Beautiful work Alan. The pictures are crazy good! You did this kit honors that’s for sure. Your vertical work is amazing. You’ll have to give me some pointers on this area at the EXPO. Well played…Ken
