The foundry structures look amazing.  I like the colors.  Good luck with the Internet service.

Have fun,
mike

Thank you for the nice comments Mike.
After 10+ hrs on the phone today with Verizon, I'm about to switch service companies.
That's internet & mobile accounts...  >:(  We'll see what a new day brings forth..

Jeff

Thanks Jeff. Can you tell me which sign you are referring to?  The Blacksmith sign over the front
of the Pattern Shop or the Morton's sign on the Repair Shop?

Thank you for posting the progress pics.

How about a post with all your past projects shown within it. I know I've lost tract of them

Dave,

That's a nice thing to say about my modeling, thanks.
It would be difficult to post 15+ diorama's into one post, don't you think?
Although I haven't shown all of my builds on forums, they do exist.
Without a layout though, I don't have a picture with all of them in it.
I doubt if anyone else would want to see all of them, but you never know.
I just like to build. Hopefully if I live to be over 100, you may also live to see a few more.  ;D

Not wanting to keep anyone in suspense, it's time to unveil what's under the roof
of the new shop.

Shop Foreman "Jerry" is busy planing some lumber for some new patterns
and nobody gets to talk to him over the hum of the busy machinery. Ya'all know what an
expert machinist he is, ya know! And he don't work for no minimum wage neither! LOL
Half of the time he don't show up for work either, thinks he's "special"!  ;D  ;)
Have at it, BOSS!

I'm looking at the photos to make sure the toilet has water in it. Knowing your incredible depth of detail, it wouldn't surprise me that it flushes.

Thanks Dave for continued following.
It did flush at one point, but the handle broke.
I think he's throwing used rags in there now.

Rich great job on the interior!!!! Luv, luv, luv all the details; I especially like the elevation with the flooring. Also you should post more of your dioramas; I know I'd like to see what you've created.

Hopefully it was intended humorously. Although I couldn't tell which side of the commode was more  affected, right or left. Could you post a close up picture please?
