Nice update Alan. Your new diorama should look better than that old building, as it was a bit over scale.

Cheers guys I appreciate that


I've now put the decals on and I'm waiting for those to dry off , put matt coat on and some weathering , still having problems with decent photos but hey you can see it

Well I'm calling this one complete


An enjoyable dio with no problems, all the kits fitted very well but for one gap that needed filling on the kuble


I decided not to add the driver of the kuble as I felt it was overkill, there would have only been two medics in the kuble as the stretcher would have gone over the rear seat upto the passenger seat


All rubble and dust is kitty litter and the bits of would are coffee stirrers View attachment 116759

full photos will be in the completed section and thanks for joining me in this construction
