    Dont blow the br ........ Dohhhhh ......

    Ok, In absence from a reply to my question earl6ier wth regards to maybe starting a fresh diorama post ...... to save any confusion, I will start another. The redesign of the diorama is a bit extreme to the point that it doesn't have a bridge which was the main focus of the original. With that...

    Do you have a hobby mancave

    Apologies for the delay with the mancave photos but I work away from home Mon - Fri. Just really landed about an hour ago and have my daughters 40th birthday party tonight so I suspect it will be tomorrow before I get the opportunity to put something together for this thread. In truth .... it...

    Dont blow the br ........ Dohhhhh ......

    Thanks John. My problem is .... once the doubt is cast ..... I know my heart wont be in it. I think { as usual for me } ambition out run reality as to what I could squeeze in. I will maybe save the bridge for a smaller diorama in the future and keep this one a bit simpler to let me use it as a...

    Dont blow the br ........ Dohhhhh ......

    Big apology coming up .......... I have decided to abandon the started diorama board for a couple of reasons. 1. I didn,t provide timber bracing to the platform and as a result it is warping all over the place which is no good if you intend to use plaster as one of your building mediums...

    Dont blow the br ........ Dohhhhh ......

    Spent some time in the shed today ..... in fact ...... a lot of time in the shed today. Not a huge amount to show for it. Most of the time casting more cobble stones and trying out the new Pavior moulds that arrived from Diorama Debri. I must admit I had my doubts about the potential success...

    Dont blow the br ........ Dohhhhh ......

    Made it home tonight ...... late ..... quick visit to the shed to see where I had to pick up. So tomorrow it looks like a bit primer to a few surfaces, some plasterwork and a mix of other things , just trying to pull things together a bit. Once you put certain things in place it blocks access...

    Dont blow the br ........ Dohhhhh ......

    Well I'll be back home on Friday and possibly back in the mancave on Friday night .... time to progress hopefully. Meanwhile, I have not been letting the grass grow under my feet as Ihave been building a german 1/35th scale PAK 40 cannon. This should fit nicely on the diorama and help me...

    Dont blow the br ........ Dohhhhh ......

    Thanks, I see issues happening due to insufficient measuring in advance and as a result some serious compression and possibly omissions of what I wanted to include. So ...... as a result .... I'm considering whether to continue or whether to abandon and start again. ..... not decided. I'm...
