This is a first class gem. It is the most realistic dio I have seen for a very long time. Totally believable. I can imaging dipping my finger in the mud. Quality work.

What a way to start the Bank Hol's. Thank you all ever so much for the excellent, humorous and rather embarrassing posts......


It really gives me a great buzz to read such nice things about my model.


Thanks again,


Ron

Just as well you put your hand on that last photo Ron. I was beginning to suspect that these were photos of a full scale, real life location Nailed it.

 

[spanner570]

Happy Easter.


Ron

"Jeez Jake, we need some bait, open up or we'll miss the tide!"
I wanted a run down, but well frequentated sort of place somewhere on the tidal Mississippi River where fishermen went for bait and supplies. From a sometimes too fertile imagination and all scratch built from household and garden stuff, I've ended up with Jakes Bait Shop. The figures are modified Luftwaffe Personnel. The boat I designed and made from card.


I dedicate this to my old '60's drinking buddy 'Shaky' Jake. He earned his nickname because without a drink and strange smelling fags, he couldn't stop shaking! He didn't live long, but lived life at top speed whilst on this planet of ours....This is for you Jake - wherever you are.


I hope you like this offering folks......

Wow stunning work,I had to scroll through the pics a few times because it looks so life like.

[just dave]

That is an amazing piece of work, I actually thought the first image was a real scene you were going to try and replicate! I logged in to share some pics of my latest offering but now I'm feeling a little inferior..

 

[noble]

Superb Ron.

Jaw dropping Ron

Thanks for your great comments boys.


I would like to think my old mate 'Shaky' Jake will be looking down thinking "At last the looser has got something almost right!"


just dave - "A little inferior"...? No chance. Keep in mind we are all in this model making melting pot as equals, irrespective of any perceived 'inferior' notion. There is always someone better or not as good as us at something - That's life, but inferior - no way! Just enjoy your model making and have fun.


Thanks again all,


Ron

 

[Steve Brodie]

WOW !

 

[dave]

Great piece of work Ron, I love dioramas like this you can spend hours taking in all the details.

 

[John Rixon]

What more can I add to the long list of totally deserved accolades? Breathtaking work, can't wait to see what you come up with next!
