So Barry, do you want the "good" or the "bad" first? Okay, here's the good: Nice work! ... and the bad: Sorry, I got nothing!'

Really good build, and it's nice to see a railroad gun other than a Leopold or Dora. Al

Hello Barry! Really a incredible idea for a railroad diorama and good composition of it! In my opinion, for better result of your work, I suggest you to perform weathering on ballast stone since they're too flat appeared. I already try such work, but I'm not sure that I'm right. Since I think the gradation of its' color was satisfied for me, I can show the example:




The image shown below was the comparison between previous and after work of weathering performed:



I'm sure that you can do better than me mate! ^^ Once again, congratulations for your finished diorama, I also learn a lot, and many thanks for sharing


Warm regards from Indonesia
