Deer Creek Mine revisited
I recently posted this on Bookface which I am on primarily to find out what my kids and grandkids have been doing lately. There are a couple of good groups that are worthwhile but as most of you know they all are time-robbers. It is fun to see what Chuck Doan, Karl Osolinski, lately Ken Karnes, and some other pretty good modelers are doing these days.
Brett's mine is one of my favorite builds ever- somewhere on this forum a long time ago is a thread that Dustin H and I did where we built this at the same time which was a lot of fun. I'm not sure the history of the kit is totally accurate so Brett please edit if I'm not right, which is often the case.
"Here is another oldie but goodie I'm pretty sure I haven't posted before. This is a build of sierrawestscalemodels.com HO Deer Creek Mine, originally a design by Roger Malinowski of stoneycreekdesigns.com that Roger produced in O scale. If I remember correctly Brett and Roger traded designs and Roger did an O version of one of Brett's. My version is a Black Hills of SD Puriot mine. To my knowledge the only Puriot left in the world is on my still-life layout. I actually have built something lately that I hope to show soon if it is worthy. The vintage photo is a rework by Brett Gallant of SWSM."

Terrific weathering, colouring and construction as always by you. Always a joy to see your work and see a post from yourself.
I look forward to seeing what you've been working on lately due to that little teaser...
Sorry to say, but two of those kits went home with me....
I may be wrong and have my shows mixed up but that seems familiar to me.
Mikes build of this amazing SierraWest kit is still one of my favorite builds of Bretts' incredible HO kit.

I see I cleverly posted the same photo twice and I couldn't find a way to edit after it was up. This is the photo of the 12x12 diorama that drops into the layout.
