    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    Think that I'm going to have to practice a lot more! Checking some photos of waterfalls online, and I'm way, way wrong - need a lot more white, and finer 'splashes'. :thinking: Also need to get the red, yellow and blue (already got black, white and green) scenery paint to match the rocks for...

    First pint....

    But with views like this, I'm not going to replace that with a main road any day soon (Photos for discussion purposes only)

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    1st attempt - think that I've got too much white? As said, this is the first attempt (stones that are being used are two of the ones that I've taken molds from - a third one will be to the left, so that it's a 'double' fall and merging in the 'bowl' at the bottom, then flowing out into the...

    Latest Acquisitions (2021)

    Not sure what I've let myself in for, but.... Looks like a job for 4BO :flushed:

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    I seem to have found a way - needs a little bit more up the middle though - just to accentuate it, and the rest of the 'road' laid, bit more work on the walls - then it'll be time for me to see how well I've taken on board how to do water! Keep putting it off!

    boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

    As a thought, the turrets and firing when traversed and elevated, could that be done by having a track for the 'breech' with contact points for the leccy at the ends of it? Got an image in my mind of it, but trying to explain - something like this (back of envelope sketch)

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    Thanks both, decided to 'smooth off' the rough patch at the top I'll give it another squirt of primer tomorrow and see what it looks like, but hopefully that end's ready for painting - just the rest of it to do!

    Yep, definitely looking better with the second bit done, just need to retrieve the bit that fell through the hole now!

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    Quick shot of 'Hy-Cote' high build car primer - shows up some points, but gives an idea of how it's going to look - will need 'detailing' with different stratas. It's a 'blast from the past' can remember many years ago (before shops started selling 'scenery' and only sold the one bag of...

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    Looks better, so will change the other bit tomorrow at some stage

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    First 'layer' almost done - needs tidying up, might change some areas into rock-faces, as not really happy with the slopes that are appearing (and I might as well use the last bit of oak up!) - top left & middle bottom are the two areas I'm not too happy with. Then there's the 'flat area'...

    1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Airfield Water Bowser Completed

    Of course, you could always do a Japanese system from WW2 ;)

    Well, getting along, some of the rock faces are in. Still a long way to go.

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    Getting the 'ground supports' in - only corrugated cardboard, but should hold the 'ground' (no matter what I put on it) though looking at it, might have to use a different base material, as it's starting to bend across the corrugations! Never had that problem with this stuff! :angry: Hope that I...

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    Now getting the contours in and finding levels, also finding out just how smaller space I'm going to have for the figures and vehicles - dropped the towed PAK, so a bit more space to play with. Looks a right mess at the moment - had to 'widen' the uphill side road (good old Paint Shop Pro)...

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    Starting - held together by sticky tape and spit at the moment, but got the road levels sorted (sort of) - just trying to blend in the uphill side of things (think that the photographer angled downhill a bit)

    Thinking about colours (or lack of)

    Has anybody done a black and white/greyscale dio???? If it's been done, what were the biggest problems? Just a thought that I might try with the 'historical' dio that I'm planning.

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    Sort of kicking this off - about time I got some movement on it - even the figures are getting fed up!

    Blast from the past

    And another one - no history on this at all, no idea what kit it came in or anything.
