    Excellent work Carl! Great job all around

    Looks great Carl. Up to your usual standards as they say. The scenery is particularly well done. I like the dog scooting out the gate.
  • brownbr
    Nice use of the Pan Pastels. Never tried them myself. The gray of the main building looks wonderful.

    That dog looks vaguely familiar...and that gate looks like it was recycled from an adjacent structure. Hmm...

    Very nice model, need a bit of time to soak in all the details.

    Where to start? So much to see. Faded, weathered signage, great weathering on the shed. And more! Thanks for the pix.

    I like the idea of not having it lineside, more versatile

    Carl, a very nice build indeed. Thanks for sharing. I have pan pastels that I use from time to time. Phil

    Pan pastels are the easiest to use.

    I guess that depends on what you are trying to do with them.
    I prefer chalks for their versatility, variability and control. I guess everything has its place, but that's just my opinion.

  • MountaingoatMountaingoat
    I have both chalks and Pan Pastels. I use the chalks much more than I do the Pan Pastels for the reasons Karl stated. Each has its place though.

    awesome work Carl. I love seeing a kit I designed over 30 years ago stand up today with quality modeling. Well done.
  • Karl.AKarl.A
    That 30 year old kit and instructions still beat anything else out there to this day.
    Excelent work Carl on a beautiful diorama.

    Thank's Boss I have a few more things to do I will post a picture when done.
  • TomH
    That’s beautiful Carl. No need to write when you can tell a story like that in pictures!
  • CarlLaskeyCarlLaskey
    Well it has been a busy day at the Sierra West Trading Post so time to call it a day and get some rest.

    Nice work!

    Thank's Patrick.

    Beautiful. I miss seeing hills. VA Beach is as flat as a pancake. The highpoint in town is called "Hilltop" and tops out at a whopping 25' above sea level. A better name might have been "old sand dune that got paved over".

    Just caught this beautiful diorama, great work on an older model kit. I use Pan Pastels and chalks too, more so than paints. I guess I'll have to check in more often for viewing these great builds. Love the sky pictures, thanks for sharing.

    I live about 2,100 above sea level so everywhere I go here there is a great view.
