    I can't really add anything. Just want to say how impressed I am. The build, weathering and scene are perfectly done. I really like the metal rim over fire too.

    Ken is too busy reclining on his laurels. You need to give him a poke with a stick.

    Only joking , Jerry. It takes time to create a masterpiece . You should know ,as yours has been a long time coming .
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Hey Jerry and Nick...you're right, I have been slacking of late and just need a shove, or maybe a kick in the back pockets, to get motivated to wrap it up! So close...
  • Karl.AKarl.A
    How ever long it takes we know it will be worth the wait... and then some.

    Ken, incredible to see all the little things that make a scene look “real” taken care of. Such attention to detail in any scale, never mind 1/87. Great to touch base with you off line.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    What the hell Karl, can't believe I didn't see your kind comment here! Geesh...sorry bout that. I'm a bit remiss regarding this build of late, not sure why...the project is 90 percent done just have to finish up one mini-scene and some scenic work including the water...that's it!...I'm worried about the water...lol.

    Thanks so much George! Appreciate you dropping me a line and have enjoyed our banter. I'm starting to "feel it" as I pen this response to you and Karl...that, together with lack of further excuses, should get me to the bench to wrap this up!

    I've been misdirected as of late......working on a mini On18 layout (24' x 36") that will have a few Sierra West kits on it, a few of the shacks and the Best and logging arch....plus a lot of the 3D details.....I'll post a photo in a bit....

    Loving your work as always, the work is outstanding......and as a side benefit....your HO work inspires my O scale work....
  • minionminion
    Ken, it is time you finished this project off and get started on the next . Now if you are worried about the water just send it across and I will sort it out for you . What I wouldn’t use in Envirotex , there are plenty of modern alternatives that do the job fine .

    Sound wisdom Nick. Cleaned up the workshop and looking at the diorama as we speak, flipped my cutting mat over to the clean side after about 3 years of work on the other, have the diorama in front of me as I ponder the scene...gosh...sounds serious!
  • Jerry
    I hope it's serious!! We've been waiting for the finish

    Come on now Jerry, you know Ken works his magic in his own time and never rushes. When it's done it will be done, and worth the wait.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Actually got some work done yesterday Jerry. I took Nick's suggestion regarding having a more substantial water source. I put in an elevated horizontal water tank and wil build the final scene around that and then it's some additional scenic work, pour the river, and done...

    Karl, appreciate you setting Jerry straight on my, well less just say, less than admirable attributes! I think the wording in the "you're being let go" meeting with HR is "failure to follow through with assigned work in a timely manner"!

    I have finished the Wheelwright and Blacksmithing Shop diorama. I placed an order for Resin Water and once that arrives, I'll get the pour done and update the thread with final pictures.
  • TravisS
    A Christmas present from the great Dr Grunge! Super excited for this Ken.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Well that sounds great Travis, appreciate the support my friend! The "water" should be coming in the next few days.
  • Jerry
    Looking forward to it Ken.

    Still waiting on my order of Resin Water. I went outside this afternoon to try and get some pictures of other views while waiting to do the pour. Sun was all wrong but got a couple close ups of the structure, not that different than what I posted previous. I'll call them a place holder until I can get the full range of pictures on a better day.

    View outside the Wheelwright Shop. For those just jumping in here, the wheel in the foreground is having the hub reamed out to fit the axle. The one to the left is waiting to have the heated steel rim put on.

    So,so view looking into the Wheelwright Shop. More later...Ken
