Been working on patterns, molds for the Log Boat at Lame Deer Mill, did a bit of practice scenery to document process and just for fun. Its different to build with instructions and documentating process in mind instead of just building.

The Log Boat at Lame Deer Mill is in the Pilot Model Build and production phase, Very happy with the final concept as it will be a 12 x 12 diorama with a branch trestle, some nice scenic elements, a lean-to maintenance shed and a log boat working the mill pond.. It will connect with future kits so you can join one scene to the next upcoming kit

Updated 9/14/19 Been working on the studio cleaning and organizing as I work on getting ready to turn designs/ideas into reality.. Pilot Build #1 will be in the works this fall w a trip planned to work with Keith Wiseman on the extensive white detail parts for the first few kits, can't wait. In the meantime I will work on the concept/plan for Kit # 1 and get to making the masters and molds. The place won't stay this clean for long !!!!!!Updated 9/1/19 So the HCDC venture has been in the works for some time , lots of people have asked about the scenes on the layout and how they were created. Well as with many things it's following a clear process to create what many believe is art. I have been encouraged to share how the Layout Scenes were created. The Hangman Creek Diorama Company will strive to do just that . Build small complete Diorama Scenes w a twist, it will be all there in the box to complete what you see in the pics, scenery, figures, detail, clutter,vehicles and all."Just Add the Trains"... oh and I will be bringing out in kit form some very cool pieces of rolling stock as well . I want to add a huge shout out to Keith Wiseman of Wiseman Model Services, without Keith's guidance and mentoring , this would never have been possible, Keith massive library of kits, white metal, brass detail parts will be an integral part of each kit along with my own hydrocal, white metal, and resin detail parts to make each scen"As Real As A Model Can Become "Busy, Busy, Busy...the website is up and running and the first 5 kits are conceptually all planned out !!! Keith Wiseman of Wiseman Model Services massive white metal casting library will be part of the diorama line.

"As Real as Real Can Get"

Here are some Inspiration Pics that will become in some form the first few Diorama and Rolling Stock kits. As these get developed further and become Pilot Models the progress will be shown here well before their release , the goal is one complete Diorama kit every 3 months, w a few rolling stock kits dropped in between the Diorama Scenes. I will be doing the final development of the first few kits in November of this year with a target to release the first kit March 1st ..2020 and then every quarter after ..
