Happy Campers
Great to see your dark series of dioramas again Tim. Are you sure the Grim Reaper wasn't attracted to your atmospheric builds. Reminds me of Tim Burton's classics and his type of lighting. Very unique style and hard to miss. Looking forward to seeing your Ukraine dio. You're freezing there, I'm...- rtfoe

Rehashing Hurtgen forest diorama
Thanks Paul, unfortunately the big dios didn't win anything this year at MALCOM. Thanks Toto, groundwork is usually the hardest to pull off scale wise. Dirt in 1/35 is almost like dust. For snow which are made up of fine crystalised moisture in the air can be best simulated with micro-balloons...- rtfoe

Reinforcing the Gustav Line, Italy 1944
I already like where this is going Tim. The layers are the key to the composition and telling the story. Three years...okay made reservations to a nearby hotel and brought along a comfortable designer chair. Cheers, Wabble- rtfoe

Rehashing Hurtgen forest diorama
The last five... Painting them individually and not enmass helped give their different identity. Everyone got the same snow sludge. There are three walking figures that are repeated but reposed and modified. I may not touch this dio for a while now. Cheers, Wabble- rtfoe

Rehashing Hurtgen forest diorama
Hi John, thanks for the dangly but I think it's more suited for the length it took to get to this stage. It's not really finish per say as the back of the building needs to be filled and the second tank weathered. I took the dio outside because of its size to take some shots. Click to enlarge...- rtfoe

Not a Moment to Lose… Battle of the Bulge, Ardennes, December 1944
Well done Tim. Thanks for rebooting up the pictures. I'm having a hell of a time doing mine as well but it brings back memories of the build. There will be medals this coming Telford, I'm sure. I'm curious as I've not experienced winter but by autumn will there still be greenery except for the...- rtfoe

Pushing Back .......
Work behind the scenes looking good Toto. I guess everything has to be in place if you're going the pyrotechnic route...hard to replace or control burnt timber structures after it's done. I do the damage by hand so often cheat and leave what can't be seen off.🤪 Cheers, Wabble- rtfoe

Rehashing Hurtgen forest diorama
Hi Guys, it's been more than a year since I posted this dio. The last wasn't quite finished then and if you see the accompanying image you will find missing guns and straps on some figures as well as unfinished weathering to their uniforms. Dirt on the tracks didn't quite match with the...- rtfoe

A question for you all if I may
Hi Peter, didn't mean to put you off ships but I was looking at your situation and thought of an easier way to ease you back into modeling. But if you're gung ho for it then it wouldn't hurt. Bob's suggestion on the Tamiya Fletcher is great and I hadn't thought of it as a starter kit. It makes...- rtfoe

Hi Toto, It's me behind two of my dioramas. One is R&R the other with the palm trees is They didn't expect this - Marines at Peleliu. I haven't resized the images so on the post so will do that once I'm free. Oh ya, regarding that balsa bridge, I have made a link in the previous post... Click...- rtfoe

A question for you all if I may
Very small parts, yes. It may not be suitable for heavier parts that block the center areas from curing as it doesn't have chemical reactions to do it and relies on evaporation. Cheers, Wabble- rtfoe

A question for you all if I may
Hi Peter, as said in your introduction post you've picked the right hobby to return to except plastic ships in the scale or below can be quite a challenge but good therapy if you have the patience, eye coordination and a pair of steady hands. In the past 40 years these plastic ships kits have...- rtfoe

Welcome aboard Peter. I've still got ten more years to catch up with your age and a good choice to return to plastic modeling. Cheers, Richard aka Wabble- rtfoe

So what about the future, modelling and other matters.
Little drops of water make a mighty ocean, in your case they're little steps. Great to see positivity in your health and a reappearance to the dark side ala tracks and rollers. Your screen fillers of 1/32 scale builds(the bright side) will definitely invigorate the half blind folks like myself... -
Mission Complete WIP of completed vignette.
Hi, the bike too needed some detailing. Whatever is not the kit colour is added...they were minor but definitely needed. The interesting addition was the rod connected from the petrol tank to the gearbox using a number 2 steel guitar string. The cables took the better of half a day to...- rtfoe
