FSM Hazen Boyd Build

Bobby, I could only find one thing wrong with build ... its not on my layout.

[Bobby]

I looked at some of the pics at work and thought I would try the HDR feature on my iPhone to see if that makes a difference. Anyhow, to quote Jaime... "we love pictures" so....  here ya go!

Hi Bobby:

I think these look just great. As I said before you did a beautiful job with the kit.

Bobby,
Absolutely awesome modeling.  Not only are the structures first rate, scenery is great, too.  Love the touch of color from the flowers.

[Bobby]

Great work Bobby, one thing that I really like is the painting and weathering of the cast details, those barrels have been done so well.

Thanks Jan... I sort of adopted the Sierra West Scale Models (aka Brett Gallant) method to the castings.

[Bobby]

Really nice build Bobby.

Thanks Mark! I didn't use too many clamps on this one. 

[Bobby]

     Really nice modeling work, Bobby! Everything looks great- the coloring, weathering, and details are all outstanding. I can be a bit slow in my modeling also, but mostly because I take my time to make sure everything meets the high standards that I place on myself in my modeling.  It looks to me like your time was well spent because that is a really fine diorama that you have built!

Thanks Bob... slow and steady wins the race. 

[Bobby]

Beautiful kit. Good finishes and colors.


John

Thanks John, quit moving and start building lol.... 

[Bobby]

I agree with the others, very well done. The pictures of the finished diorama really set the scene.

Tom

Thanks Tom!

[Bobby]

Great job Bobby!  Anyone would be proud to have that build on their layout.  Your first FSM build is excellent.  Two thumbs up!   

Awesome... thanks Bob. One of my next hurdles is to try lighting these structures like you!

[Bobby]

Wonderful diorama.  The colors/finishes are excellent.  Now just don't be like me and wait 20 years to build your next FSM kit. 


Jeff

Thanks Jeff! Actually, I was looking at some of the smaller FSM kits I have stashed since I feel like I should take on something smaller next... like the FSM water tanks. You never know. 

[Bobby]

Great finish Bobby.....

Thank you sir!

Hi Bobby:

Very nicely done in my opinion. Great colors and weathering. the scenery is great also. Keep up the good work. As Reading Bob Said anyone one be proud to have this structure on their layout.

Karl... you're the man... thanks!

Bobby,
         What can I say that hasn't been said before by all the other great modelers comments.  I do have one word I can use that would cover the proper description of the work you did on this first build you completed.

After some thought (just like you did on this build) I can only use one word which is left in the English language that hasn't been used by all the other great comments listed on this very cool build.  Which BTW you did an excellent job on the documentation of each step by step process of painting, wood cutting, subassemblies, weathering, detailing, foliage, picture angles, I could just go on and on because you set a high bar for the rest of us little modelers.

But all that is neither here nor there!  I have to use one word that simply covers and describes and reflects the work you showed us that you are more than capable of doing for great inspiration!  Oh yeah, the word is the biggest word in the world.

I think your build is:  Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!     Thanx Thom...

lol... thanks dude!

This is a great looking build.  I agree with you that photographing a model really helps with the finishing touches.  It's like looking at it through a magnifying glass. Again, it looks great.  So now, what are you going to build next?

Thanks Mopar John! I started reading the instructions for the SWSM Dueling Shacks in.... wait for it.... O scale. So I am considering getting out of my comfort zone with my next build.
