That looks soo good! Perhaps a bit thick window frames, although I havenīt seen the reference...

Andreas said it first. The windows and window frames look way too wide. They sortof jumped out at me as soon as I viewed the pics.
Still looks good otherwise.

Hello Cheyenne,
I am continuing with a lot of attention your work that I as you already know, I find it of first class.
I would like to point out, however, some things in short of this diorama part.
The contro shack, apart from the comments of Andreas and Tom with those I agree , seems for me too new , seems recently built. I don't know if your will is to apply him later the weathering. but now it iseems recently built very recently
the built stone wall in cork believes that he needs to fill the space a little among the stones, in my humble opinion it is too deep. I also also believe that the separations among vertical and horizontal stones should coincide to represent big stone blocks.
I hope see soon more photos of this dio
cheers

Hi Cheyenne ,
I really like the controllers hut , will you he putting a staircase or a ladder from the bridge level to the controllers wharf ? I like the way how you use figures in your posts to guage the perspective scale of all the various items .
Hope to see more soon

Hi Mate
Iam only a real novice in the dio department i did not even notice anything with the windows till i read one of the posts,iam sure you will re-ajust lol lol.
I was thinking with the control shack perhaps the roof could be castle turret type just a thought i love the whole thing and very much look forward to seeing more.
Speak soon Chris

Cheyenne,
Nice pier, the problem with the windows is easily explained, you were thinking Anderson and should have considered Pella, all kidding aside, swap them out with 1/16th wooden framed windows. Just a little suggestion for the bottom of the controller hut lightly hit it with your Dremel and a brass wire brush it will produce a worn wood look that after weathering will appear as though it has seen a few years near water. It really is looking quite impressive with each addition.

Gday Cheyenne
Think the shack looks perfect in its environment.
Jays suggestion to age the weatherboards is a good idea
The tray roof looks good. The lifted sheet is a nice touch, but I think you would pretty much see straight through to outside the door or into room underneath... To have the roof in this dilapidated state, maybe have another small section hanging, like the capping at the edge of the roof? Age it a little to explain the disrepair of the roof? Just a suggestion
Cheers
Brad

Jenny, thanks, yes there will be an access of some kind from bridge to pier maybe a metal rung type attached to the brdg.
Jay, thanks, the planks on the shack are coffee stirs and are pretty rough already - just dose'nt show in the blurry pics.
Bradley, thanks, I've got a little bit of a chewed out area beneath the funky roof area but your right it could use a bit more.
Chris, thanks, I'm gonna put a turret up your nose. Never say never l.o.l. I'll call you tonight man gotta run off to the labor camp I'm late now.

Good job. Inspiring. I like the detail with the rope under the bridge/pier.
Nice work
