Hi Cheyenne,

Another Tim dropping in. Actually I'm a bit late on this one... For a moment there I thought you were building Dracula's castle!

I'm really loving this - especially when you get the colours going on. They are just right.

I find your modular approach fascinating. It's sort of growing outwards. But how do you know when to stop?!

Steve , second to modeling I love wrecking and rebuilding 1/1 stuff , beer and power tools and rock and roll !!!
Thanks Tim #2 , yeah building in modules can be a double edged sword .
Piet , thanks man , yeah Bud and Lou rock , not the early TV show but the old 1940's movies .

Tim #1 , grab your helmet incoming pic. barrage .
Sorry for all the repetitious pics but looking at pics seem to help find errors , brainstorm new ideas etc. than just looking at something on your bench sometimes seem to be overlooked .

Glenn Glenn Glenn. Man it’s terrible. Really. Just terrible…that someone can pull off something THAT beautiful. Look what you’ve done man! Dim’s gone off to knit sweaters & I’m gonna make him some buttons out of Evergreen & balsa. What we have here is a failure to do crap modelling

Nicely done Sir!
This reminds me of some of the shadow box stuff they have every year at the Philadelphia flower show.
There is a section reserved for miniatures and this would be a "WINNAH".

really cool idea man,

You don't miss a thing Cheyenne, you even have the hanging plants, sheeeeeeesh!

Looking at your builds over the years I recon you got a pretty decent stash of little items like brooms, pales, pots, buckets, etc. Fine work Brotha!

Yikes is this the parallel universe people talk about? That Conservatory isn’t just perfect, it’s actually Reality and everything on the other side of our monitors is some kinda giant diorama. Which means that guy there with the beard must be…

Yep,that is wonderfully cool. Did I ever tell you about the miniature s display at the Phila. Flower Show? It is a competition and this would fit in there perfectly.

This is so cool. I sure hope you can suppress the urge to light off one of dioramartin’s flash-bangs in the middle of this masterpiece. A peaceful retreat surrounded by devastation, both 1944 and in 2020.

I told you before, it's wonderful.

I wish I could imagine this scene on my mind and make it like yours.

Great job buddy!

Hi Cheyenne,

Looking good, .

What make is the leaf cutter? I've been looking for a couple of different ones, but not sure whether to buy expensive ones or go for cheapies off of somewhere like 'Amabay'.

Cheers, ,
