Better late than never, I suppose.  Here are the photos I took during the DHS Diecast open house. Previous topics on the Open house: Model Show WinnersOpen House PicturesOpen House - 2011The open house was a lot of fun, and even though I took many photos, I still missed a few things. Looking back, I wish I would have taken more photos of many of the custom models. Also I missed getting a picture of the BYMO Komatsu PC8000 Shovel!

Very nice photos. I'm amazed how the water was done Dave Dauksha's diorama. That Otis shovel is nice but,  In my opinion; Too bad for all the money it cost it has ordinary out of scale Cad plated phillips head screws. I didn't know they were invented when that shovel was. If I owned one I would have to install square head bolts and rivets were needed throughout the model.

Mark Yes thanks indeed, some super dioramas there and from personal experience I know something of how much and long it takes to set up a diorama for a show.

Thanx for posting the pics Alex. Steve the water was made from clear casting resin poured over some river stone,and the creek bed was painted with earth tone colors. Found some real neat ideas from model railroad videos found on You Tube.
