I still cant get over this one. I will say one thing though, the sniper is bloody well hidden! I have been looking for ever and still haven't found the bugger!! lol

You do make life hard for yourself Ron, How on earth are you going to top this!!!

Hi Ron i cant find the words to say how good the build is so chuffing fantastic will have to do

[Gern]

I can't add much to what's already been said Ron, this is truly wonderful stuff! What you shoulda done though was give up your normal 'day job' years ago and focussed on doing these to order. You woulda made an absolute b****y fortune!

Ron.

Totally lost for words.

One question, how do fingers that big make such beautiful things.

(It's not fair that the talent wasn't shared more equally.)

Tony. Determined to do better!

Well Ron, this is seriously show winning stuff in my opinion. I saw some great dio's at Telford last year and this is certainly up there with them. It's so good it nearly makes me want to have a go.

Appologies to all you good people who have posted comments this last week or so, for me not having the good grace to reply, I'm sorry....

Your comments are quite amazing, thank you.

Yes, I know I'm messing with this diorama, but me and the bride were doing a bit of gardening the other day. I went indoors to make a couple of bacon and cheese baguettes and when I returned she was weeding around a shrub. Growing out of the top of it were perfect 1/72 trees!! So I snipped them off and dipped them in green shed paint. They still need a second coat, but I reckon they pass muster......

What do you think?

We haven't a clue what the shrub is called. If we identify it I will post the name for you.

Cheers all,

Ron

Ron, this is getting better and better.

Can't wait to see it with the figures in place.

[spanner570]

No more progress I'm afraid, this is just an apology to my fellow modellers Tony, Bobby and Tommy for not having the manners to reply to their posts....Must try harder!!

Thanks fellas for the very kind comments, I'm just sorry it's taken a week to respond.

Cheers,

Ron
