Craig,

I think that dain555 refers to Denis, who is housing the LorraMine diorama and who sent me these outstanding pictures to post on this forum: http://208.106.248.173/default.aspx?g=posts&t=139205
I have to admit that since the LorraMine team split sometimes in 2023, he is far less active and I had to post a few times only.

I hope it helps.
Guy

No wasn't Denis. It was a younger gentleman from here in the US!! He used many models for his dioramas. He did a bridge build, pipeline build and several others.

Hi Dain, I think you are referring to Ethan "Basketball Man" who did a series of different dioramas. I am unsure if he is still active in the hobby or not because I came across his eBay page and he was selling off a lot of items in his collection from custom models to diorama accessories within the last 3 years or so.

I always liked seeing the diorama posts on here. From Basketball Man to ULF, Cranedue07, and even remember Hummer13 (Nikl Scale Models) had their own series of dioramas and displays they shared on here.

Trying to post pictures these days seems to have turned into a major pain you-know where. Ahh...the good ol' days when we had TinyPic.

I had my models and related "ulf" stuff boxed up and went through them a couple of weeks ago - 70 boxes! I think I found the 'Vette, Police Car abd definitely the Mini. Some stuff still unaccounted for...d'oh!
