That would be awesome, L.E.. I'd love to see a pic of the skiff you're talking about, and I'd really love to see you make one.
Thanks for the love, bro.

What did you use for the snow?

A wall mural would put this over the top

Spooky, last time I had this dio (1/6 of this size), I used 16 lbs. of baking soda. This time, I'm trying a more economically cheaper product: flour. I'll have to wait and see what that much exposed flour will do over time.
I think about the mural all of the time, and I agree. I would have to commission someone though.
A couple things I would like to do is raise the whole thing, and bring the smoke trail speeder closer to the action. I don't like the dio so close to the floor.  Different elevations would be nice too, as in at least a ridge for the approaching walkers.
Lights on the downed walker to simulate fire and a trench are next on my agenda.
Thanks so much for the feedback.

  Too bad you're not close..I would totally do that mural for you..anything to add to the awesomeness of your work.

  Man, I still don't know how you got your spouse to allow this. Right now, I'm in the dog house cause I left her kitchen table covered in tiny pieces of paper from the decals I just applied to the model I'm working on now.

On a site of legends,
you sir,
are a Legend. 

This is next level. 
Next level!!!

Have you thought about those plastic "wall skins" they sell for a mural background?  There are some sites which will do one of whatever photos you want.
Although this truly deserves a hand-painted, super detailed mural, maybe that could be an option.

A masterpiece either way!

That would be awesome, SSS. I would love to have you paint the mural. Regarding the spouse issues, I use a thin cloth when administering chloroform. If you are using a thick cloth, that may be the problem. Thanks so much.

flaccideagle, you flatter me. Far too kind. I really appreciate all of the nice words. I'll have to check into the wall skins you mentioned. That may be the way to go.
Thanks again.

Thanks to everyone for all of the awesome feedback.

r1bb1t, I dont mean to be the downer here, but did you treat that flour so it wont fester bugs?  If you leave flour exposed it develops larvae and bugs...

Hmmmm.... bugs, you say? I'll definitely be replacing it with baking powder again then. I had concerns about what ill effect would happen. Thanks Spooky!
