Looks great!  All of those details really makes the scene.

Your diorama is turning out great.  Nice scenery work.

Just installed the Peep Show and the Boxing Gym. The issue I have is that I blew out the light in the Marque Sign so I'm going to have to find another way to install a new one. Patience is definitely required with this hobby. The lighted street lamp is from Tichy Trains Group. They are $29.95 for 3 but definitely worth it...

Just fixed the Marque Sign.

Finished up with the 2 layer Billboard and of course added lights to it. When adding the weeds you see on the parking lot and sidewalk, I found the best way to do this is to spread a little weldbond glue to the areas you want weeds. Then I sprinkle a few shades of turf grass over those areas. After waiting 30 mins, I go back and either wipe away the excess with a brush or I use a vacuum cleaner. The white area behind the Billboard is Sculptamold. Once that dries, I'll finish that area off with grasses now and then bushes and trees at the very end. I'll also finish up with the road at the end.

Thanks for the comments. I finished off the grass tonight. Not much to see so instead I'm posting a few more night shots...one includes my New Haven Passenger Car with lights and passengers.

That's all for now...

You nailed in Alan!


I always wanted to see that kit lit up and missed the cut before they were all gone. Awesome job!

Hey Slim,


   Thanks for the kind words. I sent you a few emails and never heard back from you. I need a new low temp Soldering Iron with a Chisel Tip. Can I get that thru you?

Thanks!
Alan
