Awesome Bob.

Bob,
I love your modeling and your t-shirts.
ed

Thanks Ed!  Much appreciated.  I can't wait until the t-shirts become my seven day a week wardrobe.   ;)

Been awhile.   ::)  Sorry about that.  Time to post some final photo's.  I didn't bother taking any pictures of me adding the dirt, roads, weeds, etc.  That's just a layer after layer process of putting stuff down until it looks decent to me.  I think it will look a little better blended into the S&S than it does sitting on my kitchen counter.   :D   













More in a moment... ;)

Next challenge is going to be packing this up and shipping it from Florida to Michigan (John - PM me your address when get a chance).













Time to move on to the next build....Bar Mills Seckler's Cold Storage for the A&S!   :D  :D  :D

I love photo's, don't we all.

I found it was a good idea to put a kit into a loose plastic bag, before packing it in styrofoam peanuts or whatever else you'll use.  That way if some small bit comes off, it's trapped in the plastic bag, rather than lost in the packing material.

:D  Thanks Steve.  I hope I get to see it in place on John's layout someday.  It's a bit of a drive from Florida to Michigan though.   ::)

Thanks Darryl!  It was a fun build.  Took me a lot longer than I had planned/hoped but fun none the less.  :D

Thanks for the suggestion Dave.  The one or two times I've sent small dioramas in the past I wrapped them in plastic wrap per Jimmy D's suggestion.  For this one I build a rather sturdy box out of a sheet of Gatorfoam like material I scavenged from one of our user conferences.  I'll slip it down over the diorama and screw it to the base.  I'll put that box in a bigger box with some packing materials.  Anything that comes off during shipping shouldn't get lost in the packing materials.  It should stay within the confines of the box protecting the diorama.

Absolutely stunning.

Thank you Bob!  It's a terrific kit and it was a lot of fun to build.  A tip of the hat to George for all the wonderful kits he produced over the years.   :D
