Good idea Bob that would help, also if you were to mock up the layout of the corner stones/beams etc using pencils and card or similar that would help too.

Ok Bob,Tom I have added some beams to the groundwork (although they are not in the same positions as the photo, is this how they would have been placed in relation to the corner of the house?)Daft question of the day but were they used as a foundation for the stonework? :blush: I have also...

Thanks for your comments. It really is pretty straight forward. Ant

Bob On the photos we are working from is the moss covered timber a beam from the original structure? If so I need to add one of these as well. Ant

Bob don't worry too much about the heavy card, I made mine removable so I could work on the stonework away from the dio. Then I'll drop it back in place when it's ready to add the ivy etc. My base is now at a stage where I can add the first "proper" layer of groundwork. I have raised the rear...

Cheers guys.

The Stug on this base was the first AFV I had made for many years. I decided to show it on a snowy diorama - somewhere on the Eastern Front. The tree was made first as this was going to be one of the main elements of the finished scene. The photo below shows how the Stug would sit in the snow...

Andre I'm not familiar with this tank at all but having had a read of the link you posted explains why it looks a bit boat shaped. Nice clean build up to now and nice detailing too. I look forward to watching this one evolve. Ant

Nice start, I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Ant

Hi Ron Welcome to TnT. Have fun and show us what you can do do. ;) Ant

OK. I will finish the terrain texture on my base then post some pictures. Then we can start to cover it properly.

Hi Keith Welcome to the club. Enjoy yourself, and show us what you are doing. Ant

Here is my first layer of the groundwork. It just takes the flatness of the base away. For this I used pva glue with some crushed up celing tile, you could use plaster or a slurry of cement and pva just to give some surface detail. When this has dried we can add further details from the...

Bob The lines themselves are not really that important, They just help when positioning certain features. If you are happy with where the stonework is placed then that is what counts. The next step will be to add some texture to the surface before covering the whole thing with earth powder...

Nice base. I especially like you tree and bushes, good stuff

Hi Guys Anthony from Treemendus has graciously offered to post this as an introduction to our new business in Australia. Somerset Models is a newly established business, created after many frustrating hours perusing the internet, looking for quality N Scale products to add to our model...

Yeah Brad Very convincing groundwork. It looks very realistic. :cheer:

Hey Adam, How's it going? I was just thinking about you the other day. Looking forward to seeing how the "dio with no name" is getting on. Cheers Ant

Thanks Brad Yeah it does look alarmingly bright but once it is well spread out and dabs of other colour added it does look very effective. It's a very simple method of getting the exact colour grasses you need, from straw to dirty brown. Cheers

Hi Welcome to TnT. It's great to be innovative when it comes to model making, use what you have to hand that's my motto! Looking forward to seeing some of your work. Ant
