    Thanks all.

    Here we have the dusting of snow added. It hasn't been fixed yet. I'm going to look and ponder over the weekend before I set it. Will definitely need to add some footprints on the paths.

  • Bryan, love the snow idea and looks great!. What did you use for snow
  • Nice touch...very well done.
  • Thanks Ken and Pap. The snow is a commercial product Precision Ice and Snow. Got it on a review on a military modeler forum.

    We have a couple of workers who have emerged to find the morning snow. They appear to be distracted by something going on behind the building. I wonder what it could be?

  • It looks like visitors or trespassers or some folks just passing through. Many stories to be made up about who they are and where they are going.

    I had fun positioning the heads of the workers into a "What the...?" position.

  • Go with the snow. The footprints sound awesome!
  • I'm getting cold just looking at the photos.

    Fall turned into winter. An original approach , this diorama.

    Just enough snow , could be the first snow of the season and that's why the guy looks so surprised. The two old folks , on the other hand new it was bound to happen. The felt it in their bones, like every year.

    Well done Bryan..
  • When you said you were going to add snow, I really wondered about that. You pulled it off just great. That really does look spectacular. Very well done Bryan!
  • Thanks guys. This was a fun build and really got the creative juices flowing. Just a couple more signs to add to the walls then this one is done. I'll get some final photos outdoors when it stops raining.
  • I'll still get some final photos but wanted to post this. It's like a snow globe, just don't shake it.020A7BC0-204B-4200-A324-9FBA190BA36B
  • A job very well done Bryan
  • That is awesome work, very convincing - and with the finished dio under the snow globe dome... well that's just graduate level storytelling. Hah!
  • The dome really adds to the diorama. Really nice job with the snow and LPs. Phil
  • Congrats on a job very well done!
  • Great Job Bryan!
  • Stunning work! And I agree, the dome elevates it to a magical level.
  • Thanks all. Finally got some sun today so here's the finished shots outdoors.

  • Awesome results Bryan. Such a unique diorama.
  • Wow! The way you took this one across the finish line is outstanding! The lazy Susan and then the glass dome really say “museum quality.”
    Where did you find the dome?
  • Great work Bryan!!
  • Thanks guys.

    Bill, I seem to remember finding the dome at "Glass Vases Depot" online. If you are searching try "glass bell cloche"...who knew that's what they are called.
  • outstanding!!!
  • Great diorama and the glass dome gives it a 19th century cabinet of curiosity effect. Nice work. Photos with a snowy landscape behind the diorama would make it even better..
    Well done Bryan. .!

  • Nice Work...I really like the Dome... were did you buy the dome E-bay?
  • Thanks. Robert, that will have to wait for several months.

    Craig, I seem to remember finding the dome at "Glass Vases Depot" online. If you are searching try "glass bell cloche"...who knew that's what they are called.
  • Bryan, Thanks.
  • A beautiful unique diorama Bryan, the figures and snow dusting add an individual look that sets it apart.
    Of course the high standard of modelling and scene creation you are known for already does that, but, that extra something special makes it stand alone.
    Really nicely executed and very well done.
  • Thanks Karl.
