Smokin!  Well, pretty simple little change actually ... but seems like it'll be a nice compositional element to help frame the whole thing.  Lookin' good.  --- Dallas

Chuck,
I am really surprised at your approach here! The outcome is excellent as usual, but I would have expected the bricks to be made from anything but 3D printing. Just thinking about how involved your process on the foundation of the garage diorama was. But I guess it comes down to efficiency after all. You choose your tools wisely!

Chuck Doan

Thanks Dallas, it does make a nice edge when things are cropped.





Thanks Christian, it was a sudden decision and I wanted to try some 3D printing again.

That is pretty impressive, lovely touch with the tree shadow ....... Sure am glad I don't model buildings think I would just give up after seeing this.

Difficult to think of anything else to say when you are confronted by perfection.

Great shot, and the shadow is a brilliant touch. There's nothing in that image that gives it away as a model.

Chuck, I'm sorry to say that, after studying Gordon's reference photo, I'm afraid you may have omitted a nail hole. -- Russ

Clean your glasses , Grandad , the nail hole is there but it is just covered with paint !

Superlative! ... Other than that, I simply don't have the words.

Thanks very much! I should have taken a picture of the set-up; the tree is an old mangy Sweetwater sagebrush with crispy foam leaves. But it still throws a mean shadow.

Russ, I did remember the Pore Key hole in case I ever decide to re-paint (obscure "Green Acres" reference)

Hell I was going to ask you for the address of this place.  So the next time I was in Ca.  I could go take some pictures of it.

As usual you still are amazing.  Great model even a better picture.

I have no doubt that those who aren't familiar with this thread, would look at that last photo with the great tree shadow across, it and have no problems saying it was a real old structure...not a 1/48 capture of one.  Perfect result to my eye Chuck!

Cheers,
Dan
