To All,

The following are the final pics of my completed diorama.  It has been a pain to get really good pics so here are a bunch of the ones i took at different times of the day.  Let me know what you think.

I needed to resize some as they are too big.  Posting shortly.

Thanks for all of the great compliments.  The credit goes to George for designing such a great kit.  It is my favorite kit that I have built.

Frank,
Really nice work building the new FSM kit. The photos came out great. Lots of neat scenes and beautiful weathering on the diorama !  Looks just like the ad in the December issue of Model Railroader that just showed up today . Thanks for sharing your build . 8)

Quite a good result!!! Everything seems in balance with enough detail and sub-scenes to keep anybody interested for hours.

Hi All:

Yeah Frank did a really great job on this One. He and I both get a kit from George and we build them together. Personally I think Frank's looks better than mine. His weathering is impecable. I tend to do a little less weathering these days. Anyway just want to make A comment.
