Very, very good as usual, Paul. Inspirational as always.
John.

Thank you John that is very kind of you.

You should check his book review written by Gray Creager over on Track-Link back in 1996, it's right up your alley Paul.
Also a great video review on Youtube , by Military Collectibles

I will check them out mate thank you.

Well Paul, I'm lost for words.
You must have the most amazing eyesight and steadiest hands in the land.
Truly amazing work.

Gary, no to both mate. I'm always surprised when I manage to make something.

Wow Scottie

Just to give the eyesight a rest and let the black base coat dry nice and hard. I though I would make a start on the base. I decided to recycle an old building and add it to a new base. The plan is to show an old goods yard. The main parts are roughed out. and nothing is stuck down yet. The rail track looks a bit proud at the moment as again its not stuck down. Any suggestions as to what to add Will be great fully received.





There will be a hand rail around the edge when I work out how to make it.


cheers

Looks a neat, well thought out start on the base. It will be good to see how it develops.

Ammo crates on the dock & two runs of 2" iron pipe as railing at the street edge.

Thanks Jim. I always struggle with ideas for bases.

I like the sound of that. The iron pipe fence was what I had in mind.

[minitnkr]

Ammo crates could be German if M3 is advance recon. or US if RAMF.

[Neil Merryweather]

Love that base Paul

[scottie3158]

I have started to add detail to the basic sections. Some exposed brickwork on the platform and cracking of the concrete. I have fashioned a pipe fence which looks wonky as it's not secured to the base. I have tried to show a couple of damaged posts with a bit of the rebar showing. Also started to populate the scene this is just for an idea. I made a very crude wooden crate and covered it with a tarp made from greenstuff.











any suggestions or advise will be great fully received.

cheers
Scottie

Another WOW from me Scottie. The skills and attention to detail you have shown in building your vehicle is also showing in this dio base.
