      Jim.
      Sorry for the late response, but with so much stuff flying through on the forum, I am now completely missing most of it.

      This is one terrific build with plenty going on.
      As others have wrote, a diorama should tell a story. This does in spades!

      Very nice and once again sorry to have missed it earlier.

        Thank you so much Ron, but no need for apologies, life and this site are always moving fast, too fast at times.
        I find I must almost force myself to make time for my modelling and this site, but it is well worth it.
        I refuse to lose touch with my hobby and my friends on this site, it keeps me grounded and takes my mind away from
        well...you know

        Jim.

          Many thanks Paul, it's always nice to be acknowledged by a master.

          Jim.

            Ah, I love this! I'm drawn to the figures especially - so well rendered and the positioning is so good, the fit is perfect. The two figures standing and talking are brilliantly executed. It would have been so easy to place them both looking at each other, to make the conversation between them obvious, but having one looking down is genius - it's a passive, resigned stance, you can absolutely tell they're mulling over a knotty problem, time is dragging on, there's no prospect of a quick solution.

            I'd just love to see this for real, and be able to give it the time it deserves. Great stuff!
            Much appreciated Paul, so glad you have taken the time to notice the interactions between the figures.
            I do try at times to enter the human factor into my builds, good, bad or ugly.......mostly ugly.

            I think I will take some more detailed pics and add them to the thread as I feel this one does deserve a bit more attention,
            will try to get them up soon.

            Thanks again for your kind comments,

            Jim.

                Outstanding Jim.
                Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                  Jim. That's amazing, I thought this was still languishing on a shelf as a bare chassis. I just checked, was it really that long ago ?!

                  Well worth the wait, lovely job.

                    Thanks again...computer acting a bit funky at the moment, think it's the weather.

                    Gratefully yours,
                    Jim.

                      Thanks Dan, yeah it has been a while since I first started, hard to find the time for modelling.
                      I thought I was retired but the world says otherwise I guess
