Bish. Your signature is so large that it has crowded out the REPLY buttons. So, nobody can quote you, or reply to your comments.

Yes ; Peter,

 And right now I am helping my team build a display in our Rail-Road Museum depicting New Braunfels downtown and our beautiful Landa park with the lake and little train .

 You see , the problem is , once you start you can never get away from it . Folks in the Museum will say , " Well , you did the Bridge everyone loves " " Can you do this "? and so on .

 If you want to see us go to Newbraunfelsrailroadmuseum.com

Hello T.B.

Sorry, but I thought you were no longer working for the museum. Nice to know that you are back there.

The website address you gave does not exist.

To continue:

The grass patches seen above are test results.

Give me a day or two and I'll get you the new one .

 Peter .

Did You know you could've saved yourself some time and trouble ? There is a model rail site out there that sells all the Catttails and Weeds you need . I do know that your Museum probably has a budget for you . Be careful there . 

 That said , I like your waterfront weeds .

Dang, that's sharp.  Economical, too.

Wow, your build looks great

There is nothing better than making your own. You can create it just how you like it to be.

Hello Peter, I finally got caught up with your project.  Blown away!!  

I really like the bouys, the foamwork, the driftwood, the fences and posts.  Good grief I could go on and on.  Carry on sir.  You are doing exemplary work.  Loving this build!!

Very realistic looking. Amazing use of materials and skills in this diorama.

Thank you.

Glad to see your first diorama with the Blue Angels. Looking forward to your next one.

Well, the lawn was too large for an ordinary lawn mower, so George went a bought a Whopper. Now he can cut twice as much in one sweep.

I love that.  That is greatness!  Looks like a "Turbo Toro".  Love it in situ.

Great work sir!

And thanks for your comment.  

I just discovered this and it is amazing.

Thank you Greg.

It has come to my attention that there has not been any photographs lately of the whole diorama. To do so is difficult, for I have other stuff in the way. I have to cram myself into a corner with the camera above my head to take the shot.

Have taken other view shots which looks across the diorama.

Holy Chit !

 Did you build it on your workshop Bench ? Now what are you gonna do fer a bench ? Peter , that is certainly an ambitious project and I laud your efforts . Now ,can you tell me where to get a " Turbo Toro " Lawnmower . Nicely done .

 Anytime you want a break come to New Braunfels  you can work in our Museum .

Looking just flat out amazing!!!

Thank you for great compliment.

The display is on two wooden horses in the centre of the lounge-dining room. For over a year I have been eating from my workbench.

Thank you Gamera.

Went back to the Buoy Boat. It needs to be completed and fixed in place in the river. Besides adding the crane and new buoy to the boat, other tidbits are also needed.

Gave the boat a few coats of paint.

Preparing a few figurines.

Here's another thing I appreciate about this build.  The "in process" shots.

The "in process" shots of the figurines in particular are interesting to me because of the order in which the clothing was painted.  Peter, you either have an innate "correct order" skill, or perhaps you read it in a book somewhere.  My brain doesn't automatically work that way.  I am trying to train it.  I would have probably painted the guys shirt on, then tried to paint the vest etc, and it would have been a disaster.

Quality work sir.  Carry on.
