Hi Everyone.
My build from the last month or so.Everything was done with Pan Pastels the only paint that I used was tan and dark brown from camo spray can.

The shingles are stained with silverwood.I am not a writer so a lot of pictures. .........Carl...........

Looks great Carl. Up to your usual standards as they say. The scenery is particularly well done. I like the dog scooting out the gate.

Nice use of the Pan Pastels. Never tried them myself. The gray of the main building looks wonderful.

That dog looks vaguely familiar...and that gate looks like it was recycled from an adjacent structure. Hmm...

Joel

Very nice model, need a bit of time to soak in all the details.

Where to start? So much to see. Faded, weathered signage, great weathering on the shed. And more! Thanks for the pix.

I like the idea of not having it lineside, more versatile

Carl, a very nice build indeed. Thanks for sharing. I have pan pastels that I use from time to time. Phil

Pan pastels are the easiest to use.

I guess that depends on what you are trying to do with them.
I prefer chalks for their versatility, variability and control. I guess everything has its place, but that's just my opinion.

Mountaingoat

I have both chalks and Pan Pastels. I use the chalks much more than I do the Pan Pastels for the reasons Karl stated. Each has its place though.

awesome work Carl. I love seeing a kit I designed over 30 years ago stand up today with quality modeling. Well done.

Karl.A

That 30 year old kit and instructions still beat anything else out there to this day.
Excelent work Carl on a beautiful diorama.

CarlLaskey

Thank's Boss I have a few more things to do I will post a picture when done.

That’s beautiful Carl. No need to write when you can tell a story like that in pictures!

CarlLaskey

Well it has been a busy day at the Sierra West Trading Post so time to call it a day and get some rest.

Beautiful. I miss seeing hills. VA Beach is as flat as a pancake. The highpoint in town is called "Hilltop" and tops out at a whopping 25' above sea level. A better name might have been "old sand dune that got paved over".

Pennman

Just caught this beautiful diorama, great work on an older model kit. I use Pan Pastels and chalks too, more so than paints. I guess I'll have to check in more often for viewing these great builds. Love the sky pictures, thanks for sharing.

Bryan.
I live about 2,100 above sea level so everywhere I go here there is a great view.
