| Well I finally got my depot placed on layout, for you that were at the National convention in Phoenix you may recognize this model, it won the Peoples Choice Award. Thank You for all that voted for my depot. Still have work around the depot to do, as you well know you never get finished you just move to another area for awhile.

| | Dennis; I really never identified the station as yours when I spoke to you. I did vote for it and took many photos. It is a true class act!! Beautiful piece of work. Your mountains are also fantastic. You have many talents. Don't hesitate to post them. | |

| Dennis,
I loved your depot when I saw it at the convention, and I think it looks great in place!
But I'm surprised and delighted by your mountainous scenery I assume it's 'man-made'? It's very similar to the look of the old Disneyland 'Rainbow Caverns' ride, some of which still survives as part of the 'Big Thunder' ride.
This is a look that I want to replicate inn a part of my layout! Would you be willing to start a new thread with pix of of your mountains & spires, and how you did them? Inquiring minds (mine) REALLY want to know!
thanx,

| Great building, and it looks fantastic on the layout with the mountains. Please tell us more about what technique you used for the scenery. I have a mine run in planning, and I am still debating how to create the mountain.

| | The station is awsome. Even though I don't live in the Arizona area I love the mountains you created. I agree with the others and hope you can post a construction article on how you made them. You deserved the award. | | | |

| Thanks folks for your wonderful compliments, I do not live in AZ. either, my thoughts are if you can't live in the mountains, bring the mountains to you
if interested in mountain building procedures, check the sites below.
Thanks Dennis

| WOW, what an incredible model!! You said it is a steel building coated with Magic Sculpt. I was curious, do you have construction photos posted somewhere?
