Karl,
        Absolutely fantastic work my friend.  You really set a quality bar for others to follow.  Keep up the great work.

Stunning modeling , but maybe even more stunning photography and editing.
I love photo's, don't we all.

Karl, as always, fantastic work.  I really, really enjoy your dioramas. You turn out some of the finest model railroad diorama work I've seen.  For me, your subtle sense of humor and quirky eccentric character and scenes are what makes them special.

Looking forward to your next one (no pressure!).

Beautiful diorama Karl. I love that "busy look".

Like the others, I love that water tank too.

Hi George, thanks. I try to have some yuks doing this stuff. Did you notice the top of the pine tree on the right side in the third photo? Seems like Napoleon was tossing ΒΌ" sticks of dynamite in the air for the 4th of July and blew the top off his tree. Also, Tim's employee fell off the back of the turnip truck moving some crates around. Poor fella'.

Hi Tom, Nope, it's from a casting I made from a Bragdon stone wall mold. I cut the 8 walls and angled them to form the octagonal base for the tower. The tower was colored with Blick markers. Karl O

Hi Craig,

I have a few, not really that much to see. When I get to building something, I seldom take in "progress photos"...I just want to get the thing finished!
