If it's the Revell Bentley Ken mine went together very nicely. Looking forward to this epic diorama, but have a great holiday first.

Hi all here is probably the last update till we get back off hols.

[monica]

that,s looking good,so far very nice start,

[Guest]

Really great plan Ken, it may take quite some time to get it all done, but it would look great, and you would get a display base for more models that were of the same era as well.

Hi all, well Robin (on another forum) had a great idea to add a zebra crossing to give me a cut line so as i can join the two halves together, but I've checked and can find no ref pics at any time period with a zebra crossing at picadilly circus (and I can't add something to such an iconic British landmark that wasn't there) so,,, Ive got a cunning plan, I'm going to make all the buildings and scenery removable  (not sure how yet)  anyway made a start on the fountain, I was going to cheat and do it as it was in ww2 but of course the route master and mini and taxi for that matter were after ww2.



I know, I know it looks like corrugated cardboard but with a bit of plaster of Paris I'm sure it will be fine (I hope)

Hi all can't really get into any serious modeling (no time) but decided to try another idea with the fountain made the paving slabs out of stiff paper and added pre shading, I think it's going to be OK, not sure how I'm going to handle the curb stones.

[Guest]

Good start! I like it . 

[monica]

[Guest]
