"Pakin A Surprise"

[Guest]

Hi Gern no plans for the drop kerbs mate, wish I had thought about it before handops:

Hi John thank you for that buddy, To many paviors, but I`ve started, so I`ll finish

Hi Alan, some folk count sheep before they go to sleep, I have started counting block paving

Hi Peej, thank you for that, the stones have stuck to me, the carpet, the dogs

Hi Richi glad you like it mate, I`m hooked on this now I`ve got to get it finished, I have to get it finished, it wont beat me...never, I keep telling myself only 150 to go

[Gern]

Well, while you're still enjoying fitting all those paviors, you could make a proper junction of your road into the park - it wouldn't add too many extras .....

Hi Gern, I have some traffic lights that I would like to add, but it`s just working it out, got to make sure t looks right, thanks for the advice and thoughts on this, it`s definitely getting me thinking now

I wouldn't presume to advise you Tommy, you're more capable than I am with this stuff - I just thought it looked a bit odd to have a gate wide enough for vehicles but without any access.

Hi Gern any ideas are more than welcome, the gates are part of an entrance to a local park, going to keep it pedestrian only, but you have made me think of adding a set of traffic lights to the dio now, it will add to the scene and hopefully break up all that paving.

Pedestrian only? Maybe a couple of the bollards from the Miniart set in front of the gates to explain why there's no vehicle turning?

I have a feeling this is going to be epic.

very nice work Tommy, looking great like the park idea, and all these stone, well done,

keeping an eye on this one,

[Guest]

Hi Gern good idea mate, i just happen to have some of them

Hi Ian it sure feels epic at the moment

Hi Monica glad you like it

[Guest]

A bit more of the same (paving) this is where the dio is at, as you can see more paving has been laid with more to follow

I`m starting the buildings, some internal work inside the buildings to show bomb damage etc and some paving, I`m thinking of doing the paving in cork rather than plaster, but that could change depending on how look the cork paving turns out

Anyway thats it for now, hope you like it so far

Next batch 220 of them, and believe me....they don`t go far

Ready for cuts

The end is near

looks great Tommy, keep up the good work,

[Guest]

Hi Monica thank you

[Guest]

I've never seen a diorama actually being 'built' before! This id going to look amazing and so much better than anything you can buy as a kit. This will really be a bespoke diorama.

Superb job, it is looking amazing already.
