Incredible detail. Thanks for sharing your insightful techniques, Bill! 🤩

Thanks Philip!!! I hope you are well and looking forward to Christmas and The New Year!!! I hope you have a great 2025, and look forward to seeing new products and LOT'S more people using Dioramo lights!!! I still have some lighting to add to this as I start on the above ground levels, and the Dioramo lights are making it much less stressful when I'm trying to figure out my lighting. It was always a fairly intimidating thing because I knew I would have to stop everything else, clear the bench, break out my soldering iron and all that, then spend time building a light feature, completely interrupting all other building. Now I'm just taking one of the lights from Dioramo and sticking it in a fixture, and its ready to plug right in... That's such a huge difference while building, I just dont know if I can express it fully, but thats a super fun part to being introduced to your lighting system this year. Thank you so much and I hope you have an amazing rest of the year!!! Take Care, Bill

How long did this take to build?

[@ScaleModelCraft]

HI, It took 9 months.

[@ScaleModelCraft]

Hi, I wasn't paying attention. This is just the top of the diorama that also has 3 underground levels, and a custom built cherry display. Thats what took 9 months. This top wasn't done all at once, it was different parts all the way through the build, but I imagine if I had to do it , it would take a month, but I am not in a hurry. Thanks for the question.

Nope, this is my job. I feel like a guy I saw in a movie I can't remember, "Really, this is what I do...!!! 😂 Thanks for checking it out.
