Top work Paul, it looks just right, the weathering & the extra details bring it to life. Look forward to seeing how the base goes together.:thumb2:

Cheers Graeme, really glad you like it.

 

[scottie3158]

I decided to try something different on the base. Rather than just plain or all covered in scenery i formed a base that just sits under the wheels and projects forward to encompass a bit of scenery.





Bearing in mind it is a long way from finished, do you think the idea works or not .

Next apologies to the figure painters.




cheers

Personally I think it looks a bit odd Scottie

Irregular shaped blob but without the hole in the centre would look better, but that is just my preference

It is your model - if you like it as it is then leave it as is

Something different is always cool. Like to see where it's going. Fig came out great. PaulE

Simon, I value your feedback and I think your right about it.

Paul, Thanks but I think Simon is right I'm not sure it works. But I'm glad you think it's cool.

Nothing to apologise for with the figure, Paul, but I do agree with Simon about the space in the middle.
Wouldn't have a said anything if you hadn't asked, though

Neil, That's fine mate that's why I asked and I appreciate the answer. I always hope to get honest answers to my posts as this is how I improve.

As someone who has never done a Dio I doubt I know enough to criticise another modeller but I agree with others on the missing grass bit. The model however, is just brilliant.

Hi Andy thanks for replying it doesn't matter that you have never done a dio. You know what looks right or wrong to you. And I appreciate your input.

Just catching up now.... it’s superb!
In terms of the blob... I think I agree with others about the gap in the middle ...to be completely honest a model this good really just needs a simple setting to show off its quality...??.

Good for you for trying something different with the base Scottie. The figure is superb.

I'm with PaulE. Always go with something that is different from everything else. Push the boundaries. Start a new craze. If anything just put the model more central and it would be perfect. I know you like to play down your figure work but I think he's great. Terrific work all round my friend

Steve, I don't know about another craze, on this occasion though I decided on just a very simple base. I might revisit it at a later date.

Hi mate, I like that figure, will suit it nicely. And I'm with the guys one the groundwork, kudos to you for trying out something new but it looks a bit odd indeed.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers
