An amazingly impressive piece of work, especially given that you worked on it for a week! Your concentration and execution is inspiring.

Thanks one and all... actually, Slodder deserves much of the credit here for salvaging my poor photography with his software skills!

Your work both inspires me and intimidates me. What was done in a week compared to what I've done over ten years is absolutely the difference between a master and a novice.
What a great job!

Thanks (I guess!) SealHead.... there was nothing really hard about this one... and with "dedicated time" (ie, no distractions) probably anyone who builds models regularly could do it. It was fun and if you think about it, I probably spent about 40-45 hours on this... in a normal situation, it would have taken me about 4 weeks to finish this, working two or three hours per night. So there should be no intimidation... I was just in the perfect situation!

Hey Keith, nice job! I like seeing larger dioramas. It takes a quite a bit of knowledge to pull it off right.

as a novice starting out I look at the talent skill and craftsmanship of model builders like yourself and it makes me want to strive for excellence like you have produced on this occassion.
I am inspired

Marty - I'm like you...while a smaller diorama may actually be tougher in terms of delivering impact in a small area, the "large diorama" format has the challenge of tying many small vignettes into one larger encompassing story line... I find that challenging. Plus, it's just plain fun to walk into the shows with a monster-sized piece and have people gawk over it! And in my case, I find the REALLY BIG dioramas bring the best prices too!
