Great job! I love it. Saw the goat, wolf, and puma … where’s the rooster?

Well, Good job, BUT, Now that you showed all your tricks, what you gonna pull out of the hat for the pictures for the 'Vote for Me" final thread? Still more surprises…
Great work Devon. The icicles and water in the culvert really make the whole scene come together. This turned out to be a true work of art. I see becoming a chaplain has allowed you to bring the dead back amongst the living. In the first photo, it appears the poor wolf has been hit by the train. He seems to be alive and well, if not a little skidish, in the rest of them.
Devon with all the wet elements in place this is hard to pick from the real thing. The bear grass? and all the rest of the details make this an outstanding diorama. Congratulations(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
I noticed the tree comparison right away; it’s a good deal when your work compares favorably to the real thing.
You’re calling it done at the right time, I think, just in my opinion. I think you’d risk messing something up if you were to work much more on it.

Naw that’s it Dave. I will just pick the good ones.

I had always planned on “wet”. But thanks to the help here convincing me to add icicles and stop action water and ideas on how to accomplish that really brought the thing to life.
Oh heck I forgot:
The cost.
Liquid Nails 2.78
Track 5.00
Filter media 5.00
wire 2.98
Iridescent acrylic medium 2.50
Clear gloss acrylic medium 2.50
Heat shrink 3.00
Animals 1.50
cellulose insulation and grout 4.00
total 29.26 Just under the wire. Almost all of what was bought I only used a fraction of the materiel. The only number I fudged for amount used is the animals. The total price was 9.00 but I got like twenty animals and used three so I figured 50 cents a piece.
Very cool Devon, that’s come out great!
Excellent workmanship Devon!!
It came out very convincing. Nice job!
Yea, real nice, for the Devonator. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

The exception that proves the rule.

They gave you a masters and you can’t do a third-grade word problem? Let’s see, “Little Timmy used his allowance at the Wizard’s Chest toy store and bought twenty 1:24 animals. On the way home, all the animals ran away except the Goat, the Mountain Lion, and the Wolf. How much did Timmy pay for the animals that didn’t run away?” You divide $9.00 by twenty, which is 45 cents, and multiply by three, which is $1.35. You get extra credit if you can figure the cost of the runaways ($7.65). You go to the top of the class if you can tell me how long Timmy had to save up if he gets $2.50 per week allowance. The question is, What did Little Timmy do with that remaining $1.00? I say he tipped a dancer at Pete Lassen’s beer and BBQ joint.

It was a high school word problem . . .Tax was .15 cents so the total was a $1.50. LOL You made me laugh with this one.
John, that could be considered a trick question. Technically, Timmy paid $3.00 a piece for the three that didn’t run away. I don’t think the store gave him his money back for the 17 that did leave. It’s all a matter of how one interprets the question.
Edit to say: This is why I stayed in trouble with my teachers and professors.

John, I believe he paid $9.00 for those that didn’t run away after he purchased them. Or $3.00 each. Plus tax of course.(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

My mentor in this whole Micro endeavor Vic Smith told me that in the world of Micro Large Scale if it doesn’t hit then its right. Its a game of millimeters when it comes to clearances. And this actually clears by quite a bit when you look at it from that perspective. This is as big as anything that will run on this pike. Cars will be no more than 10"s in length. The Lil Hauler is about as big a loco as will get run.
