    Valentine Mk 1 1/35 scale AFV CLUB AF 35178.

    After removing that last pour which failed to harden , no doubt my fault , not with the mix but cross contamination. That can be the only reason I can think off .
    I was left with a diorama tilted up at the back so any resin could gradually run, creep down on to the silicone mat. Glad I bought those pointy paint drying things as they were really good at keeping the dio up as it sat on the bench.
    I had to remove all the Lilly's , and flowers, clean and allow to dry. Once the new resin had arrived I set too. This time it was a 1/1 mix, thin layers so decided this would be perfect.

    Did the mix, pour , then the cover and waited, looking once to check for bubbles. Once dry I gave it another 3 days before I added those Lilly's and some flowers. Then did a little gardening at the back of the tracks , mainly to show vegetation taking hold.

            I had a very pleasant catch up on your build, John. It's fantastic!
            Sorry for having missed this thread but recent real life was a bit messy... better late than never, anyway.

                        I must say it turned out very well indeed. Great job and worth the effort.

                              John, will you please stop showing us photo's of real wrecks. Seriously though, that is Bl**dy marvellous. These dioramas really are your forte.
