Hi folks,

all is well on this side of the pond. Thanks for asking.

and of course thanks for all the complements.

Did a little on the Market garden Diorama, started to fit on the roof and made the holes for the windows extension positioned on the roof.

And then I took a break from the Dio. and started to try to get my figure mojo back and started with some 1/16 figurines and some 1/35 heads. The 1/16 figurines you can find here. LINK

that tree is , Absolutely Fabulous, :D you know if it was me, I would not put any leaves on it, and why

,you may ask, it would take away the natural look off it,to me is superb like it is ,:rolleyes:

Fantastic, work on the figure, how ever you have painted them has brought all the detail out, was it oils ? there just great,:rolleyes:

Outstanding work Richi!

The work on the buildings, Stug, tree and figures is all of the highest quality. This will make for a terrific looking diorama when complete. Your dedication to a long and intricate build is to be applauded. I think you're a lot like me with respects to long and complicated builds.

Keep up the fantastic work!

All the best

Paul

Hi all,

well the update took a little longer than a week but:rolleyes:, but I got a little side tracked but here's a little one. Worked on the roof windows and made them fit and glued in place.

The material I used is Balsawood, next I will try and finish up the inside and outside of the upper floor windows and probable paint the roof.

Not sure if I go with red or black roof tiles. We will see but I think Black is the better one for the contrast to the building .

Or what do you guy’s and girl / sorry girls think?
