Marvelous Jim!  Love the lighting.  I know how much extra time/effort it takes to add lighting, but I'm hooked on it.  I blame Slim for that. 

Thanks Bob;

I too love what lighting does for the scene. I have hopes of figuring out how to add smoke and sounds like moving water to the layout in the future but for now lighting will have to do. Like you said blame Slim.

Thanks for sharing this build, Jim, and for sharing how you but laser cutter and 3D printer to work.

Thank you Urs for the kind words. It is really amazing how the new low cost cutters and printers can help improve realism in our modeling.

I'm not sure I am the master of these tools but they sure help me make stuff i would never even consider trying without their help. I pushed the use of these machines on this project so I could demonstrate what they can add but even for my normal projects they really help. Thanks

Hello Jim, that's one impressive structure. I particularly like the level of detail that you can achieve with the advanced equipment that you are using. Again, congratulations.

Thanks Jeff, hopefully my final additions will add to the realism.

Well we have come to the final installment of building Debra D's Designs of Distinction. While there will be additional interior items I will be adding as time goes on, the structure itself is complete. I thought I would simply start with photos of how the building looks with scenery, outside people and vehicles in place. I will then show specific items of interest added to complete the project.
