Thanks to the forever wet state of the celluclay I am laying on the Bismarck diorama, I thought I would distract myself from the strong temptation to go ahead with the water. I thought I would do something a bit different without going crazy about it. My online provider had some kits on special...

Thanks Mike, you're right, worth the wait provided I don't screw it up :bigrin:. I manage to give myself headaches just trying to sort it all out in my head. Not the end result, but how to get there - transition from transparent resin to celluclay and shaping the waves so they look natural...

I wouldn't trade that coat for a flag :bigrin: They look like it's a still from a movie and they are not even on the dio yet ... this is awesome. :tens: Laurence

I am speechless and a bit hypnotized :wow: ... I will certainly try to do my best on this one, have a few ideas but let me tell you, this Celluclay business is just like watching paint dry. Can you believe the darn thing still isn't fully dry yet? I have been taking it out on the balcony, few...

Proud to be in such select company :notworthy

I got absolutely ZERO of that thing .... sad ... very sad....

Right, time for an update - started doing the water. Things have more or less settled with us moving back to Sydney, work is a bit less crazy, so, time to make a start. Few words around this - the shiny stuff is aluminium foil, the kitchen thing, from the supermarket. I will be using Celluclay...

Nice one mate fun to watch this build :good: Laurence

I think posing and making all figures fall in place in a way that makes sense and absorbs the viewer is at least as difficult as painting them. If you ask me, that is way harder to achieve than painting figures to perfection. Wonderful stuff Bob :tens: Laurence

Sad thing is that slamming other people makes them less miserable, if not happy. Other than that, I agree, MA is an awesome bunch. Personally, I joined to learn a thing or two about models and I stayed on because of how supportive and encouraging this lot is. Time at the bench isn't always...

Well, that is the best news I have heard in a while, thank you Bob :notworthy And one of the Arizona - a cow of a kit .....bought it at Pearl, on our honeymoon. Hope this brings back some good memories :bigrin: Laurence

Same here, believe you me. That water needs to be sorted out still ... any news on that pesky email provider of yours ? Laurence

Great photos there Bob, I am a fan of those things looking like a very busy public transport vehicle with big guns on them :bigrin:. I think you're right, the second one, they look Australian to me too - crazy bunch, the lot of 'em. Laurence

I am watching quietly from the sidelines - these stories are a great read and photos make them so much better. A friendly greeting to Lewis from the land of Oz from me and a big thank you for putting this together Bob - it's awesome. :notworthy Laurence

Yeah ....Naah. If by settling in you mean upsetting people who have done nothing and don't listen, then yep, I am the champion of that. The home bit is going very slowly, but it's ours and that makes all the difference in the world. As for this thread, of course I like it - you can see I am...

Hi everyone, Bit of an update - over the past few weeks, work has been absolutely mentally deranged - Monday to Sunday. No time to do anything else, not even unpacking stuff from a garage full of boxes. I have been learning a lot while doing the stuff I love doing. That's the only positive...

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing :tens:. Laurence

Thanks Mike.

It is spectacular in places, especially around the Opera House and all. We live a bit to the West of those landmarks, the suburb is nice and we have everything close by. I still wish Canberra loved me back though, I found that place closer to what I want than Sydney.

Thanks Bob. I am taking this as another lesson in patience - other priorities that I need to focus on. I should have seen this coming, but I kept wanting to live in Canberra, ignoring the realities around me. I am still not sure what the water should look like - plowing through a massive wave...
