I did think they'd be lots of tiny parts with that one Tom! But the end result will be worth the cursing!

I was planning on doing a bit more on it tonight, but gave up, it will be there tomorrowI think the wife was looking for some ear defenders

 

[Guest]

There is some serious patience gone in to that and it looks awesome.

 

[Guest]

Thanks Terry, glad you like it

I think this is fast becoming a work of art, and that is before we see any paint on it. The overall look is simply amazing and just goes to show what can be achieved with a bit of imagination and a determination to make something from scratch. This really is a stunning build.

 

[Guest]

Hi Richard thank you for the kind words mate, much appreciated, glad you like it

Started work on one of the buildings, I have scratch built a dividing wall using balsa wood and coffee stirrers, I have also done a small bit of wood panelling, again using coffee stirrers.

As you can see this is going to be a slow process, but there will be wall paper in each of the rooms, along with furniture and lots and lots of debris

 

[Guest]

Looks good Tom - interesting carpet!

 

[Snowman]

I do like the detailing of the wall panelling!

Are windows and doors scratch built as well?

Superb!

 

[Guest]

Hi Patrick thanks mate, that`s not the carpet, that`s the underlay

 

[Guest]

Thanks Gavin thanks for that mate, the doors and windows come with the kit, its the Miniart Russian city building.

Another small update on the dio, I have started to do some more on the 1st building by adding the floor joists ready for the floor boards which will be added shortly

 

[Guest]

I love those diorama debris moulds. Mind you I haven't tried using them on the same scale as you. That groundwork looks first class. I'll be following this build closely.

 

[Gern]

Methinks this is gonna turn out rather special .....

 

[monica]

looking good Tommy, I find it fun making the floors then so to say distressing them

 

[Guest]

Thank you Hobbes and nice to have you along
