Finishing FOS Canal & Third diorama

[Vilius]

I started the kit over six years ago and it took me a year to get to the point shown in the first picture (It was so long time ago that I had to download the picture of the net). Then a number of other distractions came up and I abandoned the diorama. At the last EXPO Alan tried talking me into finishing it. I felt like it would be good to do it finally for number of reasons but the motivation just wasn't there. Some time last year I found someone who was really interested in the diorama. It took me some time to get other projects out of the way and build up the motivation level. My goal is to complete the project within the next month.

Hi Vilius:

very nicely done. This is one of my favorite FOS Scale kits. I always loved the Mermaid Bar. Can't wait to see what you do with it as a finished model.

Thank you, Karl.

Here is an update. I have installed the rest of the sidewalk, have made a rip rap and the steps for a shortcut. Too many little people have broken their legs and arms climbing over the fence and jumping down the retaining wall.

Looks great, Vilius.  The "Frary vs. Mason" fight sign always makes me laugh.

Thank you, everyone.
I attempted to make some progress last night but the end result was very pathetic. All I managed to do was to build and install some 5" of wood fence.

Thank you, Karl.

I have lost the momentum here. At some point I ran out of prepainted NBWs and by the time I painted them I was already working on something else... I intend to get back to it as soon as I am done with my 55 gallon drum farm and couple of structures for Jeff G.
