I've been having a play :)

Hi Alan,I couldn't agree with you more Sir , I sometimes make engine noises when I am building a car ...

Looking forward to seeing this come together, may I ask, are the buildings and roads etc kits or are the scratched built...

Andy...

These are kits apart from the wood floor in that corner house that is scratch built using coffee stirrers

I have built a house out of balsa wood for the wife thou and it's worked out cheeper than buying the kits so I might do that in future

I wonder how many folk who build aircraft fly them when completed

[Guest]

Looking very good!

But I'm with Andy, there will be buildings or other items..?

daka daka dak. Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyooooooooowwwwwwwwwww

I Like a good dio and can if pushed do one. I personally think they take up to much room. I would rather use the space from one dio, to display five aircraft.

I bet this one of yours Alan will be a fair size to.

I've just measured the base and it's 2ft by 1ft so for that size area I reckon you can about 8-10 1/72 scale aircraft on that base so I see your point

I like dio's due to the story you can create

[Ian M]

I tend to stick with a simple base.

The last real dio I did was years ago. It ended up 1x2meter and a good 50cm high..... Mummy was not pleased...I wish I had photos of it. It ended up getting broken up and trashed. I just saved the models, but alas they are also now a distant past. I recall it had two or three tigers, a couple of flak 88, and a few trucks and kubelwagons.

I do have an idea for another but not the best time.

Closest I ever got to making a diorama as a kid was a 17lb gun with crew and I got an old picture frame put some dirt out the garden on it and plonked the gun and figures on it , I thought it looked ace but in reality it was probably very poorly painted and probably covered in glue finger prints lol

But I have always liked dioramas but back in the day t was all war stuff now I like to do war themes but more in between battle sort of thing

Sounds like my models now lol.

Where the Germans visiting a Zoo... (so sorry Sir, I shall get my coat)

I think you jest Sir, your builds would be too hard to alter in Photoshop, you have some great modelling skills Sir...

Why thank you Andy, but I cannot live with this damn lie any more...OH THE SHAME! The models are made by a small trained rat called Nobby, for a small box of straw and some scraps to eat he makes my models...I know it is despicable of me to claim credit for others work but...there are no excuses, forgive me...I shall release Nobby back to the place where I got him from...the Government, there all rats there.

Alan, it seems you and I are alike....

Just a vague idea, stare at the base and wait for something to come along........Then not give a stuff about altering the thing - no matter how drastic - as the build progresses!!!

Looking good mate,

Ron

Alan try roughly sketching a couple of ideas on paper and see where it goes will keep watching to see how you progress nice start though.

That's a good idea Scott , I've got a rough idea about this and with the size of it now I think I can get away with it without compromising space

I might work it out on the board I will use so I can get a feel for what I want

Thanks again for the idea
