Thanks. Looking forward to seeing your progress on a diorama! Feel free to contact me at the email in my profile if I can be of any help.

As part of a diorama, certainly. As a focus on model railroading in terms of layouts, track plans and operation, probably not as much. There are model railroading forums that would be more helpful.

I see you found us. Welcome aboard!

First, I'm VERY sorry to hear of your physical issues. Second, looking forward to that project, I'll be interested in finding out how well PVA works with plastic. The rest of the plan seems solid to me.

Scenery, like paint, can hide a multitude of evils... Looking great!

Nicely done!

Hadn't thought of that David. I was envisioning having the switches mounted external to the model with a "wiring harness" going into the structure.

David, I don't know if availability would be a problem for you, but if I were doing a similar wiring project, I'd use micro toggle switches. Micro sized toggle switches on Amazon

Nice job on the furnishings! It's really coming together.

Toy: 1990 ZR1, 6 speed manual. Not a rocket, but plenty of fun. (Yes, I fixed the wheels. PO had tires rotated without regard to the directional wheels) Work: 2024 F250XL. Thirsty, but a towing beast! 6.8L "minizilla" engine. Grocery Getter: 2020 RAV4. Upgrade from 2012 Corolla that I gave to my daughter to replace her clapped out/unsafe Pontiac G6

I agree, the gable trim looks much better thinned down . Are you going to landscape around the foundation at some point?

That's pretty cool!

Nicely done! Fit-up on the roof looks great. Looking forward to seeing it with the ridges and valleys (gullies) finished.

Coming together nicely! Fussy work getting things lined up properly.

Sorry to hear about your printer! I'm in the market for a new one myself. The Creality is still working fine and produces nice prints, but sufferin' succotash (from Sylvester the Cat cartoons for those of you across the Pond that may not recognize it) that thing is s...l...o...w... I've got some stuff I want to print that would take over 12 hours! The intended replacement is 3x to 5x as fast and has the capability to print multiple colors (if I spring for the attachment) and is still fairly reasonably priced. Like most things, technology has improved over the last 5 years.

Very nice work Sir! Fussy work like that requires a certain frame of mind with which I am only rarely blessed, and then for short periods! I've used those peel-and-stick shingles in 1:64 scale for cedar shingle siding. Excellent product.

1-2-3 blocks are normal/common. Glass bottles are "creative"...

Great progress, David. I like the creative use of bracing...

Excellent progress, Sir. And I've been there and done that with glue and 1-2-3 blocks...

VERY nice, David! Initially I had some doubts about the realism of the foamboard construction, but your detailing has proven that it works very well indeed.

I like it, but I'd be forced to resurrect most of those models! That black and white '56 for instance...

The AMX, Javelin and Rebels were pretty sharp cars and under appreciated. The rest of AMC's styling isn't my cup of tea.

Looking good, David!

Just traded my '13 Tundra in on A leftover 2024 F250. Do a bit of towing and Toyota no longer offers a V8, so went with the Ford.

Yikes! I bet that WAS challenging! Very nice execution however. Well Done!
