Hi Cheyenne,

Thanks for the heads-up, will check it out.

Cheers, ,

Exquisite!

Thanks Barney.

Ran out of dam lumber and my two lumber yards I use are covid closed . I'm gonna try Amazon .

The many words are poverty, the images speak now

What Dim said, I’m also lost for words – and great photos too (jr.’s?) any chance of some daylights?

Thanks D , thanks Tim .
Couldn't use direct sunlight , washed out the matte colors and caused some glaring reflections off the glass and light fixtures . So I settled for some filtered light through a swamp maple . The breeze blew down the window wall and I set it up backwards for the pics . Smooth move ......

Well done Sir! Nice to see a peaceful and so colorful scene once in a while.

This is really awe inspiring... A welcome sight of colorful peaceful tranquility betwixt al the violence we usually tend to depict. That leaves open the question I asked earlier : how does all this flowery beauty fit together with the pond?

Wow. That is incredible work, Cheyenne.

Cheers,
James

Thanks JR , the military elements will come later . most likely paras in the reflection pool/greenhouse area and some armor on the road at the top area where the steps end .
Thanks James , much appreciated !!
Erwin , thanks man , I still have to add a gatehouse , above the greenhouse along the road . Also I want to build a carriage house to the left of the pool and greenhouse . Locations and layout subject to change .





After looking at the present layout , maybe the carriage house to the right of the staircase and pool ? Making the staircase and pool the center of the build .

Any suggestions ? Nothing is written in stone , that's why I build in modules to be joined later into the scene which leaves room for possible changes in placement.

Damn, and then I thought I was ambitious!!!

Another reason for the modules , things can start getting bigger and bigger . With the modules I can add or delete to keep things manageable size wise and I'll still have the build for another project .

Well, since it is a real pleasure to behold, it cannot be big enough to me...

Hi Cheyenne,

This is truly a work of art, awe inspiring to behold, .

Cheers, ,

Man, you have done a lot in a short period of time Bro, wow! I like the modular idea, especially for huge dios like this. Anyway you place it I'm sure the scenario will play out Brother. Ruck On!

Hi Cheyenne that's freaking outstanding detailing work & I can truly appreciate the time and attention to details good sir. Thank you for sharing friend, be safe!

J

Cool!!
I am also subscribing to the modular system. I am just making bits of scenery and not even building a base for them. I mostly use just cardboard now. But then again,I never plan on them leaving my house so....don't need a nice base.

Erwin , G-man , thanks guys !!
Ski , thanks man !!
JG , thanks man , appreciate the visit !!
JR , thanks man , gotta love modules . You're never locked down to a setting and can rearrange things till you're sure you want to make them permanent .

Hi Cheyenne,

This is amazing, I can even guess at the type of some of the plants...such as the 'agave', .

I can almost picture Morticia Addams...of course it would have to be the Carolyn Jones incarnation, ...gliding around inside the glasshouse snipping the flowerheads off of all your amazing flora, .

Cheers, ,

G

Thanks guys really appreciate it !!

The wife's a little peed cause I bought a new 1/1 scale model .



Well it's all buttoned up , on to the viney ivy type stuff .

The greens are a little greeeeeeen but in just room light it's a little less stark . Don't know if I'll wash them down or just leave it , kinda like the rad color diff .

I am still in awe... And so is my wife...
