Steven S I was investiGoogling and stumbled onto this site... http://www.michaelashkin.com/model.php?p=1.1.3.1 Click on the thumbnails across the top. There's one near the end that looks like it was taken on someone's layout, complete with Pikestuff building. I have no idea what this guy's art sells for, but it's probably a heckuva lot more than anyone here could get for a diorama. Steve S

I wonder will MR publish one of his submissions?

I think that you might want to research Michael Ashkin a bit before ridiculing his art work on this forum.
All is not what it appears to be.

Several decades ago, during my brief sojurn to California, I encountered a 'thing' on a street corner in an industrial area - a conglomeration of bent steel girders painted, IIRC, oxide red.
When I inquired, I was told it was a modern freeform sculpture - required by some local ordinance that mandated something of artistic value among the plain building block shapes of the local buildings.
'Art' is in the eye of the beholder. So is scrap metal.
In the same vein, what happened to the cockamamie scheme to hang a big (1:1 scale) model of a Santa Fe 4-8-4 nose down over a New York City intersection?

All I can say is that art, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. If you call it art or trendy you could probably sell a piece of gold plated doggie doo-doo on a chain and someone would wear it around their neck !!!
