Welcome.  Beautiful builds.  FOS kits are awesome.

Thanks for mentioning the Titebond 3 wood glue for adhering the foam stones.  I've always used Canopy glue, but it takes a while to set up. Mark

Love the layout diagram, and all the water and bridges.  Thanks for the update.  Mark

Hi Mark, any updates on this build?  Looks promising.  Mark

That came out really nice.  Might have to try that one day.

Last for today.  Lucky 7 from Fos Scale Models was built for this diorama. 

After cleaning out the garage, and working in the yard, it was time for some photos.

Kimball's from Fos Scale.

Thanks Jerry.  Here are some close-up pics.  Bob Van Gelder had intended a tarpaper siding for the rear of the brick store, but I upgraded to some vertical wood siding.  I included some pics of the smaller Fos Scale kits as well.

Amazing scene, interesting from all angles, great era.  Mark

Thanks guys, I'll try to get some closeup pics this weekend.  Looking forward to Keep it Rusty (Craig's) latest kit.

Thanks for the kind words, Greg, Bob, Eric, Dave and Mark.  That kit is one of my all-time favorites.  Can't believe I let the two buildings collect dust for over two years.  Scotty Mason's video build of the kit, along with Bob Van Gelder's video on scenery had a big influence on me.  I've always felt Scotty Mason's video series are, and remain, a great reference to building kits, and setting the scene.  Many of the techniques used still hold up.  I wish they had made a few more.

The vehicles were added just for photo purposes.  Not even sure what era I'll eventually decide upon.  The last shot comes from atop my hot tub, sans vehicles.

I built Kimball's previously, and decided to add it to this diorama, I built up the Lucky 7 for this diorama and may highlight the 'Lucky' portion with some white since its pretty rusted up.  this is the first time I took it out into sunlight.

I also included two Fos Scale Structures, The Lucky Seven, and Kimball's printing.
