Next step and in order to get some of the infrastructure in place, I'm turning my attention to the roads and pavement.

Do you have a hobby mancave
took a little break from the diorama build and thought I'd make good from the promise of a few mancave photo's. So here we are ...... apologies for the mess. There is also a bit of " remodelling " of the mancave to be done once the RC stuff is gone. But for now ..... the big entrance ... -

As mentioned ..... some blue foam to mark out where the walls will be going. they are indicative as the wall thickness etc is presently too thick. These will be scaled down before carving in the surfaces etc. I'm sure you get the picture. thinning down the walls should be a bit simpler as I...- toto

Pushing Back .......
Ok, my second attempt to kick my Diorama off. It's 1944 and the allies are pushing the Germans back across Europe towards Berlin. Somewhere in Europe the allies have just called in an air strike to soften up a local pod of German invaders to provide the catalyst for the allied ground troops...- toto

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...- toto
