Hello dio builders, As the great Willie Nelson says, "Turn out the lights, the party's over" , followed by "And tomorrow starts the same old thing again", and so goes it for building dios - This morning I went out to a nearby public plaza in the middle of an industrial area, and took some photos of this project. There was another guy there too, and I felt guilty - he was doing some sort of an intense workout, and really going at it, sweating away...meh - he doesn't know what intense is unless he's built a dio or two! 😁 If you're interested, there's a WIP blog in that part of the dio section: So, here we go, this is done, no need to turn on any lights, it was bright and sunny: OK - about halfway through - you can see, it was a great morning for taking pictures - on we go: I like the pic above - you can see the car in the foreground, and Penske PC4 in the shop, the parts in the bed of the truck (through the window) and the parts/etc along the wall - a lucky picture for me! I like the pic above - you can see brick, concrete and asphalt drive, concrete floor, and metal elements, and I like how they look together. I like the pic above too, it worked out well - relative to what's going on in the dio, and happily to it's context. The red brick building seems to fit the scale just fine - like it's supposed to be there, which in a way it is - I kid you not, but, coincidentally, the sign with the forklift is made using a photo of the real sign, which is mounted on that exact building!! haha - I wish I planned that when I took the photo! And there you have it. Although this project wasn't initially intended to be a dio, I have enjoyed building it, so much so that it has been a catalyst to get me staying in the dio world a while longer. Thanks for having a look, and happy dio building, Cheers Nick
