      @@bradcallahan3546 What do you think are actually in museums? Not a commentary on this project, but have you ever been to a small specialized museum? Most of the models have many inaccuracies and are not really professionally done. Especially ship models. But back to this particular project, I have to agree that the end result is not as impressive as many of his projects, however, the skills that went into building this are. Who are you?

    Stayed at the park lodge one night- That night they had major winds- and sounded like the roof was pulling up . no insulation between the rooms, could watch the glass on the window flex from the wind., Another cool place is Hovenweep national monument that would make a cool diorama were you look from the top down into it. I think it was a place that would be considered today's bugout camp during times of conflict.
