Operation Overlord
Thanks very much guys. Peter, as you'll see from the photo, the water was very poorly impressed on to the diorama base which is why, although I'd only intended to use mastic around the hull of each boat, I went on to add mastic to the wave tops to create breaking waves. The rest of it is down...- Johnners

Operation Overlord
Following the reasonable success with my first diorama I felt better placed to tackle my main interest ... the D-Day landings courtesy of Airfix's "Operation Overlord" kit. The kit left me with several "don't like that" imponderables, such as Landing Craft that sat on top of the waves rather...- Johnners

My first ever Diorama
Thank you all very much. At the time I did this I was unaware of weathering products on the market so used acrylic washes daubing them here and there according to what I felt looked right. Neither was I aware of the massive range of scenery accessories available, so I made all the debris by...- Johnners

My first ever Diorama
A couple of years ago, around the time of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, I felt the urge to build a D-Day scene in remembrance of my father, who was there at the time. With much enthusiasm I bought Airfix's "Operation Overlord" kit which I thought would do nicely, however, on opening the box and...- Johnners

Thanks for the explanation. Shame about the problem that occurred - as a forum owner I know how frustrating that is. At least now I can stop looking for other display options. :)- Johnners

Newbie saying Hi
Thank you for the warm welcome. I hadn't thought about posting pics of things I've done as, from what I've seen so far, I'm just not in the same league as you guys. That said, I'm always open to constructive criticism. Question: I've come across many posts where the pictures only display as...- Johnners

Pantile Roof Tiles
Thanks gents - a few things here for me to get my teeth into. I'll pinch a tub of my granddaughters Play-Doh to experiment with making a former and trying the 'paper-mache' method to see what sort of effect I can get. I'll also check out continental "0" gauge suppliers. I did find some Italian...- Johnners

Pantile Roof Tiles
I'm about to start a scratch build of my previous house but have run into trouble before I even get started. The house has Pantile tiles on it's roof (see attached photo). As I can't think of a way of making them from scratch I've been searching the 'net for ready made tiles, but to no avail. I...- Johnners

Newbie saying Hi
Hi everyone. I'm a fairly new modeller - not very good but enjoying the process. My main interest is art and I have my own art website and art beginners forum. A couple of years ago, around the 80th anniversary of D-Day I got the urge to build a D-Day Diorama in memory of my Dad, who was there...- Johnners
