Looking very good indeed Monica.

Funny my desk is the one place in the whole house that the cats stay away from.... They learn very early that it is no place for them to be found!!!

There is a tiny corner of the desk by the curtain that the little lady sleeps some times.

That Schaefer is rather good. Wire and filler!?! Cool.

ta John/Ian for your kind works, i putter about alot ,

well i did not wont to waste modeling putty as its costly so ,just tried that way, but if i do it again i will use putty for it. being cheap

she is not so bad tends to sleep in the corner but the big tom well he just lays half over the table, and dose not like to be moved

I like it

 

[Guest]

I like your tree's Monica, you've done them very well! And the Kubelwagen is really good, along with the bike.

My only thing is with the figure in the Kubel, where his boots seem suspended in mid-air : looks like he's doing stomach crunches!

Maybe an ammo box or something to rest his feet on?

Cheers Patrick

 

[monica]

thank you Polux,always nice to hear from you

hi Patrick, he is keeping fit, , no not real, in the 1st lot off pics above this set ,the last one i did have his foot on a tin bucket ,

but i think what you said maybe better so you do see it, some type of box, or tub maybe ?

glad you like the trees try to do like a bonsai type , that was about 3 to 4 hrs work on them 2

 

[john i am]

Looking fantastic Monica I especially like your trees what material did you use for the foliage as they look great if you don't mind me asking regards John

 

[monica]

hi John,thank you , glad you like them and glad to help as much as i can, i used wire the finest i had about, and then gave it coat of UHU ,

and use its a foliage by Hornby called skale scenics fibre clusters ,R8834, comes in all difference colors

You have to be in the right mood and motivation to tackle a dio like this, it can get boring if it goes on too long as you can lose patience and it gets sidelined for something else. Not in this case Moni, you're really sticking at it and making a real cracker.
