Hey,
thank you for your kind words. It was really hard for me to finish this diorama.

Heck, it would be impossible for me to start, after seeing the beauty you finished.

If astounding the timid amongst us was a goal, you have over a thousand hours very well spent!

Sorry I took so long to see it; not so much sorry to you, as for my own missing out.   :o

Beer glasses?

In the face of all the brilliance in the WIP pictures I'm probably going to ask you one of the most boring questions; what did you use for the drain pipes?
Don't!

One of the best I have ever seen.
Technical skills are awesome but inspiration for atmosphere of the scene is absolutely amazing.

Saying that I registered in this forum just to say "That's an incredible piece of ART" would be too much, but I must say you got a role in it.

I saw a couple of days ago the pictures of the finished diorama and was wondering about the construction process, and then you get those WIP pictures. Great job!

you mean the rain pipes? oh, these are simple messing pipes (is there a english word for it?????) The attachment to the wall is only small strips of paper, which I wrapped around the tube.

oh my english..... ;)

Please dont apologise for your English, my German is worse!

I'm not sure what messing pipes are, it's not something I'm aware of. Do you have a link to a website where you bought them (if you bought them online that is)?

Just looked at your webiste, there's some stunning work there.

I´m glad if you like my other work, I havn´t many dioramas, because I need a lot of time to build them ;)
