    Ken you need to start a museum so we can all make a pilgrimage to view your dioramas. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Hey Travis, it is getting to be an issue with the storage/display of my dioramas that's for sure. Have been mulling that over for some time.

    Thanks and Happy Holidays to you all as well!
  • Jerry

    Ken, I think I have previously suggested how you can solve your storage problem . I’ll even pay the postage .

    Merry Christmas (we don’t do Happy Holidays over here ) and all that .

    Make a layout with them.... That's what I did. :wink:
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Yeah, I'll have to figure out something. I hate storing them without display. I could easily put them in plastic totes and stack them in the corner but what fun is that! I have annexed about as much of the house for my hobbies as I dare!
  • minionminion
    Ha, if you think you have storage problems now , just wait until you build the Twin Mills Sawmill !
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Lol...I'm thinking a coffee table with a glass top display for that beast! As slow as I model I should probably start it now and have some done by the time it hits the queue!

    Is that why your water always ends up looking like a muddy creek ?
  • KKarnsKKarns
    lol...you crack me up Nick!

    Thanks Art. Sure no problem. I'll run out and take a sky shot. I use AK Resin Water and tint with vallejo acrylics with no issues.
  • MuddyCreekRRMuddyCreekRR
    Yes....I call my Railway Muddy Creek for just that reason...

    Many accolades have been bestowed upon our very own Dr. Grunge, all well deserved. I will add this build is yet another example of why Ken is one of the preeminent modelers of our time.

    More importantly, Ken has been an outstanding friend over the many years we've known one another, thanks brother!

    Hey Brett, Thank you...no, really...thank you so much. You have been my insightful consultant, sage, mentor, and most importantly, as you so eloquently put it, an honest and dear friend! I thank you for that and particularly the latter. Having you, SierraWest Scale Models, and the wonderful friends and modelers on the forum has truly been life changing. I call them "life points". These are points you get for things like marriage, raising kids, getting kids through school , getting yourself through school, getting that job you always wanted, retiring, that kind of thing. Hooking up with you and SWSMs was a definite score of life points. Not sure where I stand on points, but everyone better check their scorecard because I feel like I might be winning!:)

    All the best for 2025 my friend...I'll always be there and have your back!

    Fantastic modeling as always Ken, the scene, detail and result are once again an example of your unrivaled excellence in HO modeling. So beautifully well done.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Thanks Al

    Appreciate ya George!

    Hey Karl...thanks so much my friend, and have a great start to 2025. Maybe we can hook-up somewhere this year. I'll have to see what's coming up for 2025.
  • Jerry
    Beautifully said Ken.

    Thanks for all your help in 2024.
    Have a wonderful 2025.

    Jerry

    Hey Ken.

    Been some time since i was last on the forum. So lots of catching up to do. That picture with the water is just amazing. Wow.
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Nice seeing you back Wes! Thanks much and keep in touch...
  • ALCOALCO
    Just one of the motleys here, checking in. Slow Monday morning on the forum.

    Yup, snowed in here in Ohio, so good day to do some modeling. I'm mulling over my next project which is taking the SWSM Wood Cutter's Shack and changing the workflow to be a tie cutters shack. This one is going to have a good bit of relief in the topography. Have some ideas brewing so we'll see how it jells. Structure is quite small so my main efforts will be in the support scenes. There will be water in this one as well.

    Nice hearing from you Al.
  • minionminion
    Can’t wait to see what you have come up with, Ken , I am sure it will be a cracker .
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Thanks Nick, we shall see!
