Outstanding Steve! Love everything about it...you have set the standard for this kit my friend. Beautiful and precise work and the "fit and finish" is perfect. So nice seeing a classic like Scotia Supply done so well. Man that chainlink fence and scene turned out splendid...knew you would kick it...can't wait to see it in person, worthy of some serious sit down discussion!
Wonderful job. Diorama looks superb. Great build thread too. Very informative and well documented. I know of two Scotia Supply kits that were recently started thanks to your encouragement!
Brett, that’s great to hear. Hopefully we will see some more build threads with some of the classics. I’d like to see EJ Whiley get built on the forum. I’ve never seen that kit built I don’t think.
Ken, I have my room reserved for the Expo. I’ll be bringing this along. Lots of modeling time till November hopefully I’ll have some other stuff with it.
The feedback from the great modelers on this forum really helps push me. Thanks everyone.
Great to hear Steve, I have a room reserved as well. Maybe I'll have my Scotia done by then...again, wonderful modeling and a real masterful take on Scotia Supply.
Top to bottom, a terrific build, Steve. The roofs are aged perfectly to match the structure, castings are subtle in color and placed in natural clusters and arrangements. I too like the section with the chain link fence--especially how the vegetation appears to be "consuming" all the clutter. Looking forward to seeing this one first hand in the fall!
A little late to comment. Fantastic modeling here, Steve. So many subtle touches along the way. It’s nice to review these past threads as I wait for my own SW kits to arrive after vacation.
What I love about this forum is the education you receive with each and every build thread, being able to see Brett’s steps finely illustrated. I am gobsmacked by the level of modeling skill here.
Thanks George. I’ve built many other model kits but my modeling really improved when I started trying to utilize the techniques in Brett’s kits and on this forum.

I think I mostly finished it up last night.
Here are the final photos.
Hopefully this wasn't too many photos for one post.
I had a great time building this kit. Thanks for following along. I really appreciate all the feedback along the way.

What a wonderful job you did on this diorama. The work on the details is amazing.

Looking forward to seeing your progress on the sawmill Bill.
