Hi folks,

all is well on this side of the pond. Thanks for asking.

and of course thanks for all the complements.

Did a little on the Market garden Diorama, started to fit on the roof and made the holes for the windows extension positioned on the roof.

[Guest]

Excellent work, you definitely have an eye for detail, this is coming along lovely, so much to see and take in, really looking forward to seeing more of your figures and that Stug

 

[monica]

hi , Richi,the gardens coming along nicely,also the Stug III. with all its detail parts looks great,

that tree is , Absolutely Fabulous, you know if it was me, I would not put any leaves on it, and why

,you may ask, it would take away the natural look off it,to me is superb like it is ,

Fantastic, work on the figure, how ever you have painted them has brought all the detail out, was it oils ? there just great,

 

[eddiesolo]

About time I caught up with this thread Richi. Outstanding work my friend, beautifully made a real credit to you. This is going to be something very special when built.

[tr1ckey66]

Outstanding work Richi!

The work on the buildings, Stug, tree and figures is all of the highest quality. This will make for a terrific looking diorama when complete. Your dedication to a long and intricate build is to be applauded. I think you're a lot like me with respects to long and complicated builds.

Keep up the fantastic work!

All the best

Paul

 

[Guest]

That's some serious model making right there!

 

[Alan 45]

This is looking fantastic Richie it's been a while since I caught up with this and it's going to look fantastic when completed

That tree is well it's just WOW!

 

[Richi72]

Thanks allot for the kind comments guy's and girl

next weekend I hope to do an update on this, got a little tangled up by some figurines.

up next are the windows on the roof so stay tuned and thanks for watching.

Cheers Richi

 

[Richi72]

Hi all,

well the update took a little longer than a week but, but I got a little side tracked but here's a little one. Worked on the roof windows and made them fit and glued in place.

The material I used is Balsawood, next I will try and finish up the inside and outside of the upper floor windows and probable paint the roof.

Not sure if I go with red or black roof tiles. We will see but I think Black is the better one for the contrast to the building .

Or what do you guy’s and girl / sorry girls think?
