It's been a joy to follow you on this project

[TIM FORSTER]

Thanks Peter!

It's also a joy to be followed.

I am hoping to bring this diorama to the MAFVA show at St Ives in (less than) 2 weeks time. It won't be 'finished finished', but I feel it is time to give it an outing...

Good for you Tim, I have a feeling about this one. Rick H.

[TIM FORSTER]

Well, I've had a busy weekend!

Hi Tim.
Looks perfect, think you have handled the scene well, we tend to shy away from the obvious in portraying war on our builds .

[Mini Me]

That looks the dog's kahoonas to me Tim! Love the black back drop, makes the whole scene pop.
This one looks to be a winner Sir. Cheers, Rick H.

That is excellent Tim - very well done indeed and got to be an award winner if you enter it in competition

(nice to see the candlesticks made it to the scene as well)

[Tim Marlow]

Fantastic job Tim, looks great.

Tim,
that is an excellent build mate I have enjoyed watching and learning along the way.

[Peter Gillson]

It's clearly been a labour of love, and definately well worth all of the hard work. Excellent.

Impressive in the photos Tim, but to see it "in the flesh" at MAFVA... quite amazing.

[TIM FORSTER]

Thanks you all for your comments.

And SimonT - I am very happy to finally give your fantastic candlesticks pride of place...

I am also very proud of the fact that, for my first diorama since I was 16, I managed to win Best of Show at the MAFVA Nationals!

So here are some more shots taken with a better camera than the one on my phone...
