Well today I watched FOS and Jasen Jenson and Wiley's Scale Modeling. And did some more on my mini Diorama. I finished what I wanted to do to my J Keen Building.

Tonight I tried my luck at weathering. Get this!!! I don't have any dirt. (Dummy) I found 2 25 pound's of pitcher mound dirt but it looks to red. So I guess I'll have to order some from NEBROWNSTONE. Not sure where else to get it? My yard has snow still on the ground. So I'll do the dirt section and all the small detail work asap. New picture's.Thanks for following....Dennis

Here's the rest for tonight. Dennis

Very dynamic! Really liking what I see here, Dennis.

Great expansion blocks too. Did you carve directly into the foam or are they plaster?

Dennis Bourey · March 11, 2021, 12:36:29 AM

Craig, Thank you sir. They are carved in the foam at 20' sections. I'm learning as I go. Lot's more tomorrow I hope? Dennis

Dennis,

Looking good! Nice weathering on the streets. I'm excited to see how much more you are going to do with this diorama.

If you are in a hurry for "dirt" you might try some sanded grout from Home Depot. It is pretty inexpensive and comes in several colors. (In my experience, Lowe's doesn't have nearly as good a selection of the product.)

Just keeps getting better Dennis. Fun to watch.
