Hi. I love your work and his you showcase and explaine.
I liked the mine you did. What about a similar cut throu with a heavy tools workshop with train track outside and inside serving the big equipment with a small shunter.

I like the idea of being able to see into the buildings, that would certainly make a great scene!

Hello, I really enjoy watching your videos and it looks really satisfying to see a block of foam turned into a diorama that looks very realistic. As a suggestion for a future project I’d like to see a racetrack or a small country town.

I just started doing some of this realistic scenery for my son's wooden train set. You're tutorials are fantastic. I would love to see an American Wild West scene!
