John,
Sounds like you have some happy fish. No pressure but get back to your bench I want to see some more of your great build.

Thanks Jim. ...... you should like these next photos.

This selection of photos comes from some work over the week end and the odd hr here and there.
Last photo is of the first of 4 roof spans, really enjoyed doing these, fiddly but worth the effort, even though not a lot will bee seen .

Can't get all the figures or the maintenance kit in, so will save those for another build.
Thanks for looking in, comments welcome.

Very nice work John congratulations! Is it a completed piece or still work need to be done? Either way i love it ! The position of the figures the came off track and all the little accessories makes a great scene! Most of your pictures from above! Could you make one from the front so we see through the doors ? You have one but a closer one please ehehe Best regards Danny

Damn Dude 2,

You really hammered it this time buddy, A shame you had to leave out a few pieces, but what you have left is totally fantubious. You really have a knack for this. The building looks fine, the Sturmi great and the figs tie it all together. What more could a man want. But the absolute best is that the fish are happy and have a new liner in the pond!!! The downside is no Fish and Chips party at Race Towers this weekend...….

Danny........ Thanks for your comment. Not finished yet, the roof frame to do, corrugared sheets to make. Once those have been made they will be treated to give a rust effect,then fitted. Still thinking of how much damage to do to the roof on the right hand side above the timber repairs.This is where Ibwould like to have a removable tarp to show the internals. I will show
some photos from the front tomorrow.

Dude 1 ......Thank you kind sir. No fish and chips sorry to say. :smiling:

Thanks Paul........ I have enjoyed this dio and build, been more of a challenge, esp with the camp. The roof is time consuming, but so satisfying when it comes together.
Thanks for the likes as well as those comments. As I said to Danny hopefully tomorrow I can set up the photo booth and get a front shot.


John.
