Think it was at the beginning,Neil then thought why not, sure we had factories with camo.

Andy.

Thank you Andy, after the colours I toned them down with a black wash to deaden the look.

Nice progress John! :thumb2:

Thank you my friend.

Great idea JR.........I think it turned out nice. Bet it looks even better with the wash on it. :thumb2: Rick H.

Hi John
Nice to see you have sobered up after the festivities and recovered from the associated gluttony.
Roof looks excellent. If Steve has given the seal of approval then it must be OK. Looking at the photo I reckon the whole building looks superb.
All the best for 2021. I truly believe that by Easter things will be much better.

Hi John, I just realised you had a run in with an Empty Vessel. Don't let him bother you as we have our own problems raising the bar at the next build. It's a self learning journey...man he should have seen your first dio and compare it with the one now and there'll be more better ones to come that he'll run out of rivets to count. It's your build and I like it.

I found that Uhu All Purpose Glue sticks well for my dios. It's used extensively by architectural model builders for their scaled houses and buildings.

Cheers,
Richard

Thanks, appreciate your support Richard.
Would have normally used UHU ap but had just run out, didn't want to use my UHU POR , too expensive for that large area.

Chaps, Just a bit of info. that could be useful, and as 453 would, I hope, agree.
Never use UHU All Purpose glue on foam boards or any form of polystyrene. It just melts the stuff . Always use UHU POR or equivalent.

....now back to the build.
