Frank
      Your dioramas are works of true art, but also so much fun. I don't often comment, but you can be sure I follow your work. Thanks for sharing. 
Charlie

I'm with Charlie on this, Frank, as your modelling is very unique and very entertaining, too.  As is often said, every picture tells a story.

Very nice work.

After a long pause, I do the carpentry and the background of the layout in order to have a better view.



On the right part of the layout I will do a cemetery with the good, the bad and the ugly figures

I will look forward to this one. One of my favorite movies, probably because of the theme song, but you will make it a real tribute. Your diamoras are really fun filled

[Tyson Rayles]

That backdrop is spot on!

I' m made some progress today. I cut the front plywood, I reshape the church and create also the negative elevation.



I have to finalise if I insert the water tower or not.

These scenes are just incredible!

I see I am not the only one who needs extra light.

I find the right color for the sand. It's a mix between red sand for terrarium and yellow sand that we found in France.



According the area i will change my ratio and add also some stones

Hi,



After a long stop because I have too much work, I come back.



I start to pain the track with a coat of grey paint spray, then I apply a diluted wash a brown oil with turpentine and I finish with a diluted wask of black ink with alcool.

I also start to create 3 galloping gooses  based on corgi and rio models cars. I don't want to use Bachmann ones because they are expensive and very fragile (the gear mainly). I use the motor gear and bogie from bachmann ho trolley.

Hi Frank

     I learn a lot of little tricks following your builds.  I will be watching your galloping gooses closely.
