Pffft, no room indeed. What kind of an excuse is that? Just make room..... 8~)

But ummm some of hose rafters show up a bt crooked. Thta's why I lovephotos , they highlight those litle things that aren't quite right that you miss when looking at them. Like a coffee mug right in the middle of a beautiful shot.
cheers
Dave
other pictures of some of Brett's stuff I have built apppear here (among other things)
although misnamed as I was going to only use it for scratchbuilt stuff

I love what you do and how you do it.
The doors just a little a-jar implies someone just went in or out - - perfect!
Looks like you did a path to the right end of the dock. Next task are steps for the little people at that right end of the front side dock, Karl ?
The left end has a set of 4 steps so.............
Very nice work on your HO version Dave... got any more pics?? We'd love to see them.
Yup. I knocked those rafters loose when I was 'planting the structure onto the diorama. Also you'll notice none of the rafters had A/I on the ends at that point.
The rafters were strightened yesterday evening and the freshcut ends all touched up with A/I while I was working on the roof vents....
Alan, I do not plan any steps for the right side. The guys just hop up there when needed but generally they just grab the trash/boxes from the dock to 'dispose of'.
Thanks for looking.

I see your picture of the plain dio base, do you have any from that point to finish????
Or sometime can you or someone do a thread on diorama base construction?
I didnt take any shots of the dio base layers for this one, but, I'll be sure and post some pictures/descriptions while I work on the next one for you, when I get to that point.

I hope so Bryan, looking forward to seeing it.

Time for this one to go sit up on the finished shelves while I work on the next one...
Karl.A
So when/where can we see it in person?
What's in your "on-deck" circle?
It looked great under artificial light. Outside it just looks real!
Hard act to follow Karl and I will just try to do my best.
Thanks for sharing.
Bill, the only time it 'may' go somewhere is to the expo next year, although that is essentially pointless as Brett will probably have his pilot model there. However, you are most welcome to stop by anytime and see it before then.
I have a brain freeze and cant figure out what you are asking in your last question, you will need to elaborate.
Thanks Alan I'm really pleased with how it came out, just follow Brett's instructions, thats all I did, I look forward to admiring your build.

It was nice to see one of the pics "antigued" and used on the Sierra West Website.
I as one would encourage you to take it to places so people could see it even if Brett had a "Sample" at the same event.
