Fine Scale Miniatures | HO Scale Build

The first video in a new series following my building of a miniature American Frontier town diorama circa 1899.
This kit is the Fine Scale Miniatures - Barongould Tannery. It was released in 1987 and was limited to 670 copies.

Josh, nice video with an easy going, relaxed, and personal demeanor. I appreciate the respect you demonstrated in not only the description of an FSM kit, but your nod to George Selios (the founder/ owner of FSM and world-renowned model railroader) in referencing his attention to detail and your intention to build the kit consistent with the written instructions rather than critiquing them and/or challenging them! Many consider his works to be THE gold standard in kits and his F&SM Railroad to be gold standard of ‘classical’ railroad modeling. I’m looking forward to your other videos in this series.

Hi Josh....outstanding work! Question for you. At the 14:08 mark of the video you mention the "foliage company" you use. I can't quite make out what the name is? Can you please tell me and/or provide a website address? Thank you so much in advance for your anticipated response!

Hi, apologies for the northern English accent. The company for the foliage is called "Diorama Presepe" and appear to be based out of Italy. And thank you for the kind comments!
