[Lee Drennen]

Things are shaping up Ron I like that Jeep. The buildings are so convincing great job

Ron,
Nowt to do with anything other than looking at a masters work, then comparing with my own work. I enjoy working on the kits or dio that I do, but I'm fairly sure that I'm not equal to doing anything like you or the other masters seem to be able to produce almost on a daily basis.

Gerry, as I replied to Andrew's post, never compare your work to what others produce. we all have different styles and approaches.
Be content with your own efforts. Full stop!

Thanks for your post Lee. I'm glad you approve of the build thus far. On the last circuit and a couple of fences left to jump and the jockey has his whip out too!

Thank you Andrew.
I'm chuffed you like the model and the 'Add-on'



Last time I felt like this was now't to do with model making, but when I inadvertently 'glanced' at the bloke next to me in a pub toilet! :astonished:

The moral is. Never compare yours with someone else's. Just enjoy what you have/do. Gorrit?! Good boy.:thumb2:

All I have to say is, he's not the Messiah he's a very naughty boy!

I'm certainly not and I certainly am!

Hi Ron Not the Messiah
I like your background painting. Looks good. A background for photographing models is something which sounds like a good idea but is very rarely done - hope it works :thumb2:

Thanks Rick.

Jim, "Hope it works".......so do I!
...but if it goes tits up, at least I will have tried.

Here's the Allied armour.
I dug it out of a box in the loft. Wonky track and all! Just an antenna to add, then it's near enough.
Apart from the placement of a few P.B.I., that's it for the players.


Just a bit of general fettling (Naughty fiddling, really!) left to do......

Cheers,
Ron

I knew it would happen! I'm committing the most cardinal of diorama making sins - FIDDLING!

So I've put my hands down and for better or for worse, the build is finished.

Thanks to my friends on the forum for all their most excellent posts. I really get the biggest of buzzes from reading your most kind and generous comments and suggestions.

Here is one picture of part of the finished scene. So far, this is the only one I've taken.


I will set to and snap me some more and post them in 'Dioramas Completed' Along with an explanation, asap.

Thanks again for all your support throughout this rather lengthy build.

Cheers,
Ron

[spanner570]

Thanks Paul.
Let's hope it doesn't rain in these parts, then I can get outside in the natural light.

I'll try and take the shots today, but the weather is a bit naff.
