From the very first posts regarding this diorama, we have all been drawn to it, wanting more and more. Ever anxious for the next picture, the next post, the next surprise that Kevin had to offer us. And now its finished. And can i just say WOW!! This is truely an amazing work of art. The detail and vision of this piece is one that is rarely seen. I believe that it is truely a prize winning diorama. I myself had the great pleasure of seeing the diorama in person a few weekends ago. And i would like to let all of you know, as great as the pictures are, they do not do the piece justice. The camera definately does not capture the full effect of the diorama. I was in awe. Excellent work Kevin. I love ya and am very proud of you.

Kevin, What can I say but wow! I continue to be awe struck by the work on the barn and out buildings. The thatch work is incredible. I'm inspired ! I've read your article over at least three times and continue to be amazed. Best wishes Steve

Again thanks guys for the comments and kind words. Rereading the article I realized I was sorta vague with some of the steps during the building of this. If any one has any questions please feel free to ask, and I will be happy to explain in greater detail. Cheers and thanks again Kevin
