Title: Ya gonna wish this was a kit...
Post by: richbeau on October 15, 2017, 07:34:22 AM
As I stated in another thread I visited the F&SM for the last open house of the year. George has been busy adding some nifty little scenes and structures. There is one amazing diorama he's been working on - it's based upon this cover article...

It's a beauty!

Rich,

Thanks for the pics.  Great diorama.  George was describing it to me a few weeks ago and it is finally great to see it in pics.

Very nice!  George told me he was going to have you take some pictures.  Where is he going to install it on the layout? If it only came in a yellow box. Great work George.

He says, but you know George, it will be near Rocky Point. I did take a couple of photos of the site so I will have before-and-after pics. But We'll have to wait for the January open house to see if he really puts it there or he has ideas in the interim.

Oh man, I could totally see this as the new FSM kit! George is always inspiring me with his designs/ builds!

Looks great, Ken.

Regarding George, he seems to be fine with Bar Mills offering tribute kits for never-released structures from his layout. Might be the same here. Could give him a call?

here's my own version. Work still in progress. Special thanks to Karl Osolinski (Karl O) who provide me the original article of MRC.

Hi Eric,


Glad you could use the plans for this model. I've been building one myself and it's about 80% finished with still much more to complete. I've changed and added some stuff for my version.

Cheers,

Karl O.
