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...- toto

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...- toto

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...- toto

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...- toto

Another shot with the bridge ends jammed in place ..... and another .... lots of levelling and filling to be done but I think I should maybe paint the bridge sides and underneath first as access will be short once they are glued in. toto- toto

Dont blow the br ........ Dohhhhh ......
OK, a couple of images from where I am up to on my Diorama. things are not going to plan ..... there's a surprise. The issue is I've lost a lot of space on each side of the embankment due to forgetting to take into consideration the slope. On the wider side I envisaged a two way cobbled...- toto

No worries, I'll need to work out howto upload photo's but think I'll get the hang of it. After looking around in here, my very amatuerish efforts may not be much to write home about though. .... never mind, need to start somewhere. Onwards and upwards. Cheers Toto- toto

Dont blow the br ........ Dohhhhh ......
So .... this weekend .... once I get home , I will hopefully be carving some foam in order to get the height commited for planting a couple of blown out bridge sections from Fields of Glory. As it is the central theme, then once it is sort of placed, it will allow other features to be worked...- toto
