And everyone elses too!!!!!!\ said:
I've finally finished the water. I had a look at stagnantish water and saw most had kind'a lumps and bits on the surface, so, as the canal hasn't been used in a long time, that's what I've tried to copy.
I have also added some more greenery to the cut side.
Andy, I really don't think you should go fishing in it mate!
Done with a few coats of ordinary household gloss varnish.
And I've added a diddy rowing boat too....I found this in a small box of bits my late father had when he was doing his models way back. So dad, here's your contribution, I hope you like it, wherever you might be......
The model is as good as finished now ('bout bl***y time, you all cry!) I'm just waiting for a new - to me anyway - camera from eebeegeebeebay, then I can have a play!!
Cheers chaps,
Ron

so now you're making us wait even longer to see it.
It's not enough that you go walkabout for months on end, then digress onto Andrew eating all the eccles cakes but now we have to wait untill you get a new camera .... pppffft
.... It's a damn inconvenience !!!
now i've got that out me system ...... it's looking as good as everything else on this we've had a snippet of mate
Do not, i repeat DO NOT, reduce this to bits as you normally do ..... take it to the show and come away with first prize !!!
...... that is all

Thanks ever so much for the encouraging post....................And ppffftt to you lot too!!...Patience is a virgin (or virtue or summat like that)
This model is safe from recycling - it's only the size of a tea tray - so I will be able to find a home for it.
As regards to comps. it's not really my bag. I know I had a dabble at Cosford with my Sniper dio. but that was just a bit of fun and to see other offerings....A certain U Boat and a WW1 diorama comes to mind!!!
We'll see, but thanks for suggesting it might be good enough to show, that pleases me loads.
Cheers,
Ron
