Zero Hour on Highway 44 (Dawn Forge Mix)
A collaborative project between Keith Goldman, myself, and 20 of the highest caliber builders money can buy. Basically, Keith did the big assed dio, I did the military elements (in my pet theme, Dawn Forge), and the others provided the rainbow of vehicles on the upper road, as well as a few other aspects of the layout. Here is the full list of the 20 conspirators-
Carter Baldwin, Chuck Citrin, Tyler Clites, Fradel Gonzales, Nick Kappatos, Jon Langrish, Andrew Lee, Joe Meno, Paul Meissner, Peter L. Morris, Nathan Proudlove, Peter Reid, Dan Rubin, Ryan Rubino, Michael Rutherford, Dave Shaddix, Shannon Sproule (Ocean), Julie Stewart, Shannon Young, Nannan Zhang
Also, a special thanks to Gary McIntire for supplying the greenery for the trees.
I’ve got comments to go with the pics over on MOCpages if that’s you thing, as well as a small explanation as to what exactly is supposed to be going on. Also, be sure to check out Keith’sflickr and MOCpages posts of the dio (if you haven’t already) for his trademark smack, better coverage of the civilian vehicles and their respective builders, and more importantly, less of my crap, which is how we planned it.
I’ll also be doing individual postings of the Dawn Forge stuff in the next week or two, if anyone is interested in a closer look.
In any case, a big thanks to everyone involved in the project, and especially to Keith for building such an awesome layout to play in. Despite all your other inadequacies, at least your skill with the bricks hasn’t faltered. Now go get me another bottle of water…

Just read both your post and Kieth's, and I must say, I love the stupendous work you two put into this diorama. I was enjoying the photographs so much, I almost finished my bucket of paste by the time I was done.

Woah! I'm speechless.
At first I thought "It's cool but kinda static..." Then i saw all the stuff going on behind the scenes, and man it's great.

I cannot wait to get on over and check out all the pics. This is truly epic. The prelim shots Keith sent don't even do the finished work justice. That guy's a madman! A MADMAN!!!!
legovaughan (39 months ago | reply)
Not just epic. Monumentally epic.
JJ San (39 months ago | reply)

Woooow!!! It's fantastic! I love all military vehicles!
chandlerparker (39 months ago | reply)
Whoa! When Carter hinted around at this a few weeks ago, I certainly didn't grasp the scope of this at the time. Another masterpiece from Keith, of course, but the fact that it's a truly collaborative display makes it all the more amazing.
Oh, and I love the juxtaposition of the cilivian vehicles fleeing the city and the military vehicles entering it.

nice work....
Aleksander Stein (39 months ago | reply)
Amazing, truly amazing - wow. At first I was just looking at the different vehicles - and they are great - but then the sheer scale of this dawned on me. Almost overwhelming, but in the best possible way. Needless to say, I love all the great detailing (on everything/ everywhere), and I especially noticed the light effect from the trans-blue plates on the large building in the background. Truly amazing work by everyone involved.

EPIC! I know that word has been over used quite a bit, but this is really a perfect example of what it should be used on. Definitely makes me wish I could see it in person.
