Stern0,

I just went through this entire thread, and i have to say this is top notch work! Everything looks fantastic and right which is as important.

I always admire dio people as it take a certain amount of order to create this kind of chaos!

 

Will be waiting for more!

I'm new to the forum and just found this thread.  I. Am. Amazed!  Wonderful work!  You say that this dio has grown and become a monster... some of the best builds I've ever seen have started simple and taken on a life all their own.  I really enjoyed seeing this evolve, Well done, Bravo Zulu!

Welcome back!!!  I remember following this build.  How's the baby?  A year or two years old now if I am correct.  

Looking great!  Dig the work on the roof and that little dresser with clothes hanging out.
