    Pushing Back .......

    It's been slow mainly due to the cobbles but I think things will start to speed up a bit. You can only hold folks interest for so long with out changing theme. There are so many other interesting tasks to come ... the balsa fit outs for the buildings ..... the various building perimeter walls...

    Pushing Back .......

    Awaiting food as SWMBO busies herself in the sacrafice room .... ehhhh I mean the kitchen. Meanwhile I think ...... walls ...... two skins thick with returns on the end. Possibly a thin layer of blue foam in between the brick ( where a cavity would usually be ). You probably would not get a...

    Pushing Back .......

    Coasting along now with just over another bay done ..... and a bit of an ariel shot coming up. SWMBO has given me a shout to take her to the shops for a few things so I'll need to bow out for now. I am hoping to get at least another bay done this afternoon ( if not more ) before shutting...

    Pushing Back .......

    OK ..... no time to waste ..... next task ..... here we go again ....... time to revisit the cobbles and get some more progression on these. I am on the final stretch I am glad to say and I am using the cobbles as a bit of a hospital job in between other tasks to get a bit of respite between...

    Vietnam Diorama - 1:35 - US troops/vehicles, etc

    I think you have the mud bang on. I'd imagine the area would have been a real cesspit with very little evidence of tracks surviving for any length of time due to the tropcal weather ( depending on the season ). Coming together well I think. Cheers Toto
