Dioramas are nice by themselves. But when integrated into a layout alongside other craftsman-caliber work, the effects are multiplied. Don’t tell anyone where you live or you’ll have visitors to your SW room! Great work!

Really nice. I will want to light the shop as well and have the removable roof when I build mine. I figured it will be a challenge. Rick

I took pics of my light bar as I was making it. I’ll share it here if you would like.

Thanks guys. I’m starting on the tractor repair shed. Have all the wood stained and on my way to Colorado for vacation. Will have a lot of down time in the evenings to add the siding from our condo.

Just finished my tractor repair shed. Started October of 2020 on vacation to Pagosa Springs. Stained wood at night. Not sure what kit I am going to do next but I think either Blue-sky or the Truck Repair Shed. Here is a pic of my Tractor repair.

Still have to work a tad more on the planting of the scene.

You have been busy. That is a really nice looking model. Hope you post some more pictures when you get the landscape completed. Always nice to see how it gets melded into the layout.

Some excellent modelling indeed on both builds, both superbly built and finished.
Really, really nice work and a pleasure to closely study both.

Sakman

Thanks guys...but all the credit has to go to Brett for his fabulous instructions.

Very nice top shelf.

I have been buying some baby LEDs from ebay. Are we allowed to show the site?
( https://www.ebay.com/itm/191884868853 ) I think 10 for 8.00. I also use the old Campbells HO brass light reflectors. I had a bunch from way back and the price tag on the back of mine were .89, the next at 2.40, and then 3.05. I have about 10 left so I checked the Campbells website and they are now 7.25 FOR 6. Now that's some serious inflation. I have 3 along the track and two in the side building. Can wire them up in series so that you only need one resister. I also added a rafter across the top to hide the rafters and a piece of brass tubing down the end to run the wire out to the bottom. Running on 12 volts. Left out the center truss.

Looks great Paul. You have to do a build thread for your next project.

Are you planning on installing a roof cap?

Dang….I left that off. Are SWSM ever really finished? I’ll add the cap tonight. Thanks for reminding me.

Beautiful work Paul. Roof looks terrific!

Am now well on my way building the Truck repair shed. Just finished the interior wall. Got a new iPhone 13 Pro yesterday. Not sure why I will ever need a better camera. Not ready to toss the Canon 7D yet...but
