discussion Richy C - 1st dio update

[Guest]

Go for it Graham , with so many aspects making a dio it gives great satisfaction to see it coming together , I`ve already been in the garden this morning getting a few ideas for trees , when you start your dio keep us posted , its nice to see a build go from scratch to the finnished item.

This is looking rather special Richie. What I like about this is the fact that when it is finished it will tell it's own story. No explaination needed!

Just one thing....We all want to see the completed project and no doubt you are looking forward to seeing the finished dio. yourself, but don't fall into the trap of rushing the last stages....Take your time, we a'int going anywhere!!

Evening Ron , I`m not going to rush anything mate , I really apprecite your advice and after seeing some of your work I know the standard set , If I can anywhere near your class of dio`s I will be a happy man , I agree it sort of tells it own story - it could be a few days after D-Day with British infantry mopping up while the Paras look to press on or it could be the same scenario anywhere in northern europe near the end of WW2 , Unfortunatley my ideas well out do my modelling skills , I must say again I loved your Bail out dio and also another dio I saw on here - Xmas time with Winter German troops around an oil drum keeping warm With a snowman in the background - Quality , I wish one that could be posted again.
