The orangi-brown of the water is not the finished one it’s just a base to give more depth..

 

[BigGreg]

Gents.... today color of the water is the one l like... the pontoons recieved the tires... now final weatherings, gloss varnish and ropes for the boats.....and it will be the end... View attachment 305845View attachment 305846View attachment 305847View attachment 305848View attachment 305849

Greg .
Sorry for not commenting for some time :anguished::disappointed:

Fantastic modelling, it's been a pleasure to see this grow over the time. Watching the buildings, the detail on the deck, all of it . Certainly think the water is good , like the "muddy " look. :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

GENTLEMEN....
These final 72 hours were very intense.... the eagerness to finish the diorama was massive but the time to let everything dry was bigger and more important... So l went super zen to let everything go with the flow... before i reveal the final pictures of the build I would like to do a couple of things.

FIRST
I would like to thank my wife for all the support and the enthusiasm she gave me to continue the build day by day.

SECOND
I would like to thank all of YOU.... you were a huge support... knowing that l was posting and YOU would like, appreciate and give advice, was a big contributor to all this.

THIRD
I would like to give a moment of our time to the guys that inspired me this diorama.... remember them... remember that for some of those guys using all that equipment was not always fun....

AGAIN THANK ALL OF YOU
ALLEN DEWIRE, JOHN RACE, PAUL, PETER LOW, SCOTTIE, SI, DAN, PETER DAY, STEVE JONES, STEVE BRODY, JON HEPTONSTALL, WOTAN, WOUTER, MICK, GUY, MIKE C, GAVIN, RICHARD, DAVE...and all the others that i have forgot... (sorry about that)...

NOW with no futher due...
I PRESENT TO YOU.... " REPAIRS AT THE PONTOON"
A Diorama of the YRBM 20 "DELTA HILTON" of the BROWN WATER NAVY

Just brilliant Greg. Totally convincing. The natural sunlight makes it even more so. I've thoroughly enjoyed following this build - the level of modelling skill shown has been truly awesome.
