Finally I can say the "Winter Patrol" is Finished!!! Oh my God!!! :thumbsup:
But... I have a bad news... With my nerves and a simple wrong moviment, while I was preparing everything, I have broken accidentally the electrical cables of the lampposts!! I cannot believe it!!! Now there is impossible to weld again, without destroying the whole soil, thing that I will not do!!
I will miss these small lights!! That nice one saw in the darkness ... that is bad luck!!
:smile3:
Only a light works, that of the house!! :emo2:
Tomorrow I will do a few good photos (will try) and on Tuesday I will publish them. I would like to publish here, but do not if is it correct, probably to open a new thread in dioramas?? (moderator advice)
I am very satisfied with the final result and especially with the snow and the ice! I have learned very much and have amused myself a "heap"!! I have to return do other one!!!
There's a little trick i've used that may work if you can still get to the cables. ... basically if you can still see the cable/wire you can normally fix it with this method.
If you attach a dress makers pin to each end of some thin electric wire you can use the pins and stick them into the existing cable (through the plastic insulation/covering or into the ends of the cable) and rejoin the broken circuit.
This can be a permenant fix if you can hide the new wire from view.

Thanks friends!!
And thanks Colin for this great advice.
But it is impossible to weld without raising the soil. The lampposts are in front of the diorama, and they cross the whole set up to behind the houses. In the average point (if I do not remember badly) the weld was there. The cables were in a few small channels, if I do not break the soil it is impossible to come them!
I am very obstinate, in my next diorama I will return to put light, and with better luck!!
