    This diorama is a little different than my usual content. I grew up in Mongolia and wanted to build something inspired by that. Mongolia is an amazing country with a beautiful culture and heritage. I’m grateful for the opportunity I had to grow up there.

    This is truly outstanding, perhaps because it flowed from the heart, and also because it had a tangible feel of reality about it that Star Wars subjects do not. I am possibly the definitive Star Wars/Star Trek geek, but of all the models I have, I swear the one that speaks to me the most is of a London bus. This diorama has that same feel about it to me - wonderful work!
