Hello All,
A brief history of this kit. I,ve purchase it from Sierra West as a special during summer 2014, and I've begin it slowly during the begin of spring of 2015 when I was trying to finish the Wrisley paper Dio. FInally I've totally abandonned the Wrislsey Paper Dio ( must be finished maybe this summer, when I can air out my condo when I will use clear resin.
I've decide to not publish any pictures during the construction of this kit ( but a lot of Picture was taken during this time) and after 9 month of effort here's the final result of this almost finish Diorama.
For conclue I want to said that Sierra West Scale Models Kits are a very nice and funny kit, that are not so difficult, but need a lot of work. But all this work needed are, in my opinion , 110 % pleasure.
Here's some pictures. More will coming later, for night view ( I've make the light in all the building).

Outstanding Dio Eric....
Thanks for sharing.
Very nice Eric, really like the clutter. I found the best thing about kits are all the extra's you get. I can sratch build any building but it's the casting that make it.

Terrific looking scene Eric.....well done. 8)
Eric, It looks like a wonderful implementation of the kit. Brett's instructions are the work of art for sure.
Beautiful work, Eric. I especially like the way you finished the details and rust.

Beautiful job Eric- very well done. You are right that Brett's kits are a great learning experience for scratchbuilding construction techniques, and for detailing and staining and weathering. Though you need time and patience, they actually are a great beginner's craftsman kit since they are so instructional.
Hi Eric,
Your diorama is very nice. It is all in the finish. I have built several of Brett's kits and he spends a great amount of time in his instruction manual on how to apply the finish to the model. Until I built my first Sierra West kit, I never paid that much attention to the finish. Now, the majority of the time to build one of his kits is spent on finishing.
Great job.
Awesome Dio Eric.
Can't say it enough Eric....you are an ARTIST and a consistent one at that.

Hi Steve,
Thank for stop by. You right, I've begin to really paid attention to the finish when I've assemble my first FSM kit. SInce this time, I spent no less than a 4 to 6weeks to make the finishes on a DIo (In my case, a week is approximatively 22-25 hour of work).
