I still have two boxes of stuff to go through but periodically remove a bit... -

Plaster cast and card brick walls
Hi John, I had thought of that, floating it on but it can be difficult and time consuming hetting a decent finish. I have a fair amount of walls to do and the card will be a lot quicker. Could maybe do a bit of experimenting with that at some point in the future though. Cheers Toto- toto

Plaster cast and card brick walls
A quick deek at what is being prepared as I await the wall section to dry sufficiently enough to work on further. I think you can see where I am heading with this ..... I will probably end up breaking the " stucco " back a little further but lets wait until I am ready to progress. What I...- toto

Vietnam Diorama - 1:35 - US troops/vehicles, etc
You can see a difference with regards to the shinyness. you have done a great job and the extra detailing makes it look as if it is actually being operated within. Looking forward to the vehicles etc taking their place. toto- toto
