Monica, the bridge looks far better with two, rather than a single arch.

Looking good, lady.

Been a while catching up on this Moni and it look great I realy like that bridge and well the hanomag is coming along great , those tracks are much better than the ones in the box ,

 

[monica]

hello all thank you for your kind words it dose real help with a build,

im so glad that you do like the bridge , and a very big thank you to Paul for pointing out how it should be,

glad you like Lee and Francesco, Ron and Alan,

waiting for the glue to dry on the base so will spend some time finishing off the half track,

what dose not need to much more work,

then add some capping stones on the bridge and start the painting weathering off that and the stone fence,

and once thats done add in the two bits off road,and find some small stones to use for the stream bed

Hi Moni,

wow your depron skills are elevating to master scratch , if I may say so.

Really like your setup with the bridge and water flow.

The 250 is an eye catcher to, overall nice job so far.

Cheers Richi

Looking really good Monica, this is turning out really nice.

 

[spanner570]

Monica, this is brilliant stuff......all the different stonework, textures and colours look really nice.

Great bit of imagination, scratch building and as you write - 'Messing about' - This is what I like about dioramas, always messing with it and trying different things out.

Well done on a great job, which can only get better....

Ron

 

[monica]

thanks for dropping bye Tommy, so glad you like it

ta Ron, for the very nice works, i do agree completely, thats the fun and interesting part of them and the enjoyment i find,

if i get a good run at it I can spend hrs,just plodding away ,needs a good day for things to set so lets me do some think else,

must get the half track done,

 

[Guest]

Loving it I can see this is going to be great love the river bed, what are you going to use for the water or are you intending for it to be a dry river bed. Well done keep up the good work

 

[monica]

ta Kpnut, glad you like it, i will use some clear resin for the water ,probably the easy think i can think off

 

[Guest]

I did wonder, I did see some years ago someone used cling film for a stream and that looked very effective for a fast running stream. I am sure whatever you use will be very good, I am enjoying this build very much

 

[monica]

that dose sound an interesting way to do it, maybe should have a look to see if i can find some think on it

its always amazes me , oh what people do use at times and how do they come up with the idea in the 1st place

 

[Guest]

Top work Monica love it so far keep up the good work.

Scott

 

[eddiesolo]
