John — that's amazing. You are several hundred steps ahead of where I started! You'll like Fusion. Especially the free part. And I'm available to answer your questions when you're ready.

Outside of the design process, the other learning curve is "supporting".

I touched on it in this blog post here: https://keepitrusty.com/?p=1032

Tinkercad is something I still use, depending on the project! Free and entirely web-based!

Karl — thank you for stopping by with your kind words! Really appreciate that.

Hey everyone.

So, this weekend, I got the FLUX Mill across the line.

Thanks, Dennis!

The windows are all from my Tichy supply.

Craig,

That is one gorgeous structure.  It is a wonder to look at from all angles.

Seth, thanks so much. As my first laser cut design of my own, I'm thrilled to hear it!

Geez, Craig - a real head turner. Love the exquisite detailing, especially the overstuffed chair, the mattress, and the fridge. Weathering is delightfully dilapidated. Fantastic scene.

Beautiful work, Craig.

What a great design. You have fit your structure into the slopping terrain wonderfully.  Lots of great eye candy.  I really like the Flux sign.  The old guy looks like he's thinking about climbing in that open window... 

Cheers, Mark.

Craig,

I've carefully viewed your Lamont Camera and Flux builds. My honest opinion is that you have surpassed Sellios in design, everyday details and weathering.

This diorama is just fantastic. I'm truly amazed.

Thank you, Vince. My wife said "Why don't you try making something look new next time?".

But, of course, there's just too much character in weathering to ever do that... glad you agree!

Thanks, Mark! So glad you like it. I continue to take leaves from your book on slopes! I originally had that OAP just walking down the street. Then I turned them 90 degrees and suddenly a whole new story came through. Disappointed with the way things have changed recently, with all this dumping? Maybe they are going through the window? A retired cat burglar tempted for one last go around?

Wow. This is the probably the best review I've ever received. Thank you, so much, Tom. I really am flattered. I aspire to George's work day-in-day-out, so to get anywhere close is a true honor.
