The layout received "Best in Show " award.
A fantastic achievement for a layout and builder who never went to an exhibition before.

Congratulations, Mr. Usta!

Of course he won; what else would you expect from someone on this forum? Well, I guess in the USA he might have earned a second or third prize behind something garish and childlike but, fortunately, we inhabit only one continent. -- Russ

Congratulations to the well deserved award! I have been following your process on other forums and I admire how well you have executed this unusual topic. The dusty, sun faded colors of your landscape and buildings are just wonderful!

A.Usta

I applaud your skill & tecnique

this one really caught my eye




Struggling with words
Ureally realistic?
almost gives the impression of lithograph illustration?
or photo etch?
Any chance of an explanation of how you produced such an eye catching piece?

Something I am interested in, after seeing the last photos, is how do you wrap and pack the modules to achieve a perfect arrival. I mean, sooner or later we all attend a meeting and our layout(s) has(have) to cope with a  potential poor handling. How do you prevent this?
This is specially important when it comes to moving medium/big pieces of layouts as I think it was this case.

That shot of the shrine in the late afternoon sunlight is fantastic!

Hi


modelling the HADRIAN DOOR in Ephesus

I shaped the wooden and made master moulds by hand tools,dremel etc.
I use resin ,multiplicate the moulds by silicon moulds.
It is a bit complicate and hard to me to narrate in English

An amazing layout with impressive views and good scenic ideas - that's what a layout makes unforgettable.
Thank you guys.

Do you remember our first meeting?


Ok, it looks like that our next time is in the scythe factory next may and then I get the chance to see this layout in real.

Selcuk is covered in full 12 pages very generously with brilliant photos taken in the latest issue of Eisenbahn Journal the equivalent of Model railroader in the US.

Alan, have you got your copy? You are on it too. The story board looks excellent but unfortunately its all in German
