Thanks for the positive posts folks. I'm glad you like my model.......Also thanks for the nice 'welcome backs!'

I still can't help feeling that the use of 'proper' water for modelling is kind'a cheating a bit, and an easy option. Transportation is a b****r too!!

Cheers Rob and sorry to spoil your projected build.....perhaps you will get one over on me in the near future, eh?

What's with the Keith Moon bit? I remember seeing him in the 60's, when he was the drummer with The Who, but don't get the swimming pool connection - or am I being thick?!

Best place for a 206 if you ask me !!! Great build, as usual Ron, even without the silicone

Cheers, Neil

Cheers for the info. Joe........I don't recall it one bit - then again the 60s-early 70s was that time of my life when I didn't remember much in any case.....I didn't even realise I had to eat!!!!!!

Great work again Ron and such a witty little diorama

Thanks Ian, because of the awful decals, what started out as a serious bit of work ended up a sort of 'fun build' If you follow....

Cheers,

Ron

I think it's brilliant use of everyday stuff, I am new to dios and this Site so to see things like pizza boxes an the like being used to such great effect is very inspirational great work

Ron is the master of dioramas & using everyday materials! You'd do far worse than check out some of his old posts

hi ron..its an old story that keith moon drove his brand new rolls royce into a swimming pool while on a brandy and cocaine binge just for a laugh. i bought a 1.25 roller all set for the dio. i still need to figure out the water issue. i might try a clear resin i can get from work but i know through past experience that it melts the paintwork. as the car will be modelled with just its front going in the water. i need to somehow protect it from the resin. gonna test clingfilm?

Another smashing concept beautifully executed Ron.
