Thanks very much, Mark. I'm really pleased you picked up on that. I try to use the concept of odd groupings, 3s, 5s, 7s, for eye appeal. I was aware the mill row and the main factory made a group of two high points, and felt I needed that third one to round it out.

The eye bounces down nicely from the mill tower to the highest chimney to the top of the water tower too.  I often find smoke stacks great for leading the eye around a scene - probably why I have so many of them!

Cheers, Mark.

Very nice work.  I too, love all the elevation changes.

George,

Wonderful, just wonderful. I love all the colors and the different levels. The diorama brings it all together.

George,


Elevation changes and composition are great, really looking forward to seeing the "rest of the story", as you add grass, bushes, trees, etc.  FWIW, I recently built Staton Marine.  I plan to use mine as a small barn, like the versatility of the Bar Mills design.

Super well done, impressive.

Great work as usual George. Amazing what height does to a scene when used creatively as you have done.

So true. It seems so few modelers think vertically rather than simply flat. Changes in elevation help,whether it is in the buildings or topography of a layout design.

This was both imaginative and well executed.

Dramatic scene, well done George.....
