    This week, I added an iconic Colorado landmark to my Wild West! I changed a few details but tried to capture the design and charm of the real thing.

    I’ve never been a “western” fan. I started following you because of the awesome Star Wars builds. But, I must admit that I’m becoming a fan of your Wild West themed builds. Another job very well done. I don’t mind the lack of a monster in this one. I know you’re building up to a whole combined set, so there can’t be monsters everywhere.

    I really liked the peaceful feel of this one. Just a man about his business on break, or working hard on the job as it were ;) even without the threat of some crazy monster you still managed to give it a story. I just look at it and wonder, and think about if I were the fisherman. It's really cool, mate. You're such a good artist honestly. Even if you don't feel that way, when you make a piece it always has tells a story and that's super awesome. Cheers!

    This was really cool! The vertical structure had a shaft running through it with a turbine at the bottom. They dammed the falls, ran the water through the turbine, then the shaft ran back up to the buildings and powered the air compressor.

    You call it, "good." I call it, excellent! It never fails to amaze me what you are able to accomplish with basic, inexpensive kits, materials and endless imagination! Your Wild Imaginary West is a winner!
    The only thing missing from this scene is a steampunk train / monorail, and/or an airship hovering overhead . . . . (And I'm going to CONTINUE noting this until you provide them.)

    you have inspired me to "do something". I have done impressionistic oil paintings. sold a bunch. sculptures. sold a bunch. use to love models. I have been building furniture recently. sold a few nice valuable pieces. Hit a slump with my artistic paintings and life. I deal with depression and got int a 5 year " who gives a f phase". these look like fun. Think im going for light houses.... some stunning light houses in my area. Thank you for a little beam of light in the dark clouds. (I carry on because I acknowledge the depression, and realize how blessed I really am, even if I cant actually see it some times. its just the imbalance talking)

We used to hike all the way to Crystal City, which was a ghost town at the time. We would also go the other way to the old marble quarry that was abandoned at the time. It was hundreds of feet deep and had old wooden stairs barely clinging to smooth white marble walls. Thank you for bringing back those wonderful memories with this model!!!

    This might sound a little “out there” but what if there was an alien spaceship that crashed and was discovered by your western people which is how they got all of the futuristic stuff. The aliens would have evolved into the monsters in your builds and now this mine is used to access the ship buried in the mountains and farm it for its energy source.
