    Ken was saying he is modeling slow....well.....so am I.......been working on a diorama for our upcoming fall meet in Mid Hudson...our On30 group.....(I'll post a photo)....here are a few shots of some progress. A little rust added here and there...not much as this is a busy blacksmith....some more weathering will get done as I build the structure and set up the shop......Blacksmith 6
    Blacksmith 7
    Blacksmith 8

    This is the diorama....it's a fire scene that will have a fire train, along with a full crew of woodland firefighters from the 1930's era....Fire Scene Diorama 1

    The forge will have an LED fire simulator once installed on the concrete floor of the structure that will house the blacksmith and fabricator's shop...and I am building a rack for all the hammers and such.....

    just a few more details to do...then it will be done...then on to the Blacksmith stuff...

    Art, I think the caboose looks a little to clean for a fire fighting train. also where are the glowing coals that still need to be extinguished? great looking dio. Randy
  • MuddyCreekRRMuddyCreekRR
    No weathering has really been done yet....soot will appear soon....and the pile of logs does have a "glow"...but the button battery was dead when I took these....once I get the chalk working and a new battery...I'll do a video...then it's on to my mini module layout with a bunch of SW structures including the Blacksmith....
  • EmeryJEmeryJ
    This is just an excellent scene Art. So cool.
  • Karl.AKarl.A
    Looking great art, the composition and layered scenery elements are really bringing this all together so well.
