I used the offcuts from the balsa strip to build up the height within the scene. An overview of all the components. I use a powder form wood filler with acrylic paint and agua. Mixed well, it is slopped into all the nooks and crannies. This is the first stage only. It is all below the...

Forging on... Based on the layout I wanted, it was worked out where the height above the base would be effected. With this in mind I built up the supporting wall (using 6mm balsa; easy to work with, light, but easily damaged) and with no whiteglue in the casa, I made do with drops of ca which...

Hey there Well this is my second crack at this posting, as half an hour in last night I miss aimed the cursor at a tab above and hit a saved medical wesite on oxygen saturation... (?) and when I clicked back all the text had gawn :ohmy: :pinch: So here goes a somewhat 'abridged' version. I...

Awww man!!!!! I'm envious as all hell of all the above! I'd take a photo of my bench, but its' primary use is meals :pinch: :unsure:

Hey James My thoughts go out to the troopers... We have lost 5 in the last few weeks; doesn't make for a good lead on the news bulletins :( Brad

Rob, I can take a bit from each reply here... I work tools during the day, I have no kids (yet...) and as Simon says, (ooh, that's catchy) I'd like to think I don't do more, I do better... Just that at this stage the better has yet to be completed :blink: :S :laugh: Brad :side:

Hey Rob If you're gonna produce finishes like this due to absenteeism, then there's the door! Lovely work on both tank and base. You have achieved a great finish with your brush work, and the tanker looks nice too... Brad :side:

You have raised the wunder-bar on this one me old mucka Haven't peepered the bocage dio for a while; she is a real beaut! Good luck against Camo (Harry Dunn) with that wheely, innit. I'll have you know that seeing the Sherman and diorama has unleashed the creative jooces and I am at present...

Jon, is it? ;)

Thanks Teo, and hopefully we see some more of your vignette! Joe, thanks and yes you should get back to the bench again ;) Ken, I know not what steamers are, but you had me at G... And yes, a set of armoured infantry would be noice! Hmmm see what occurs huh. Still have to get a crew...

Hey Gary your comments regarding the Panzer I... My knowledge of such vehicles is limited to say the least, but is one to assume that you are referring to what looks like a track affixed backwards? Speaking of which, it would make a solid diorama; almost too good to be true as though the scene...

Hey Rusty (What's that? Oh, ROB!) There are some beaut renditions of tanks that have well served and are now fading away... I love the Marine Sherman. The combination of rust and charring timbers looks great, and the tow cable combo gives the impression of a failed recovery... The M4A3E2 is very...

Nice variety there Martin! Not knowing too much about aviation, could one assume they are late 50's early 60's? Brad

Hey Matt An iron-clad guarantee ok? ;) Thanks Pavel for your support :) So some more progress... A shot of the application of putty below the belt, which is formed with zipper lines first, and then relevant pocket lines and seams etc. I have finished the right arm, which awaits the...

Gdsy Ted I'm really impressed with your first up scratching effort! Obviously good plans are essential, but your craftmanship shows through and no doubt you'd improve again and again if you were to venture down this road again... Brad :side:

Hey Joe I'm inclined to agree with Peter. It looks as close as you could get the photo! Brad :side:
