Alan, excellent work. This may sound dumb but what stands out most for me is the big half dead tree.

Thanks for the comments Mike, Eric and and John. Yeah, I was bummed because I finished the diorama yesterday and couldn't find the battery charger to my digital camera so I had to use my iPhone to take the pictures...

Very well done!

The tree trunk is sagebrush, right?

Thanks Dave...yes, the trunk is Sagebrush. I bought it from Scenicexpress since I live in Chicago and it doesn't  grow here.

Alan,

Have you sent the pictures to MRH magazine? They have a section "Is it a model?" or something like that. Your diorama deserves every right to be there.

Wow! What model iPhone and how did you do the cloud backdrop? Also, will we get to take our own photos of this great model at the Expo?

Thanks Mike. Yeah, unfortunately this guy isn't coming to the craftsmen show...I didn't feel like driving 16.5 hours from Chicago... In regards to the backdrop, it's from Joey at Trackside Scenery.
