Looks absolutely fantastic.... i can't wait to see it coming...

I'll just continue to watch quietly hoping to learn something from the superb work you do,then hopefully I might have half a chance of making something reasonable when I bite the bullet and give it a go for myself.:smiling:

Thanks Greg...its going to take long to sow a jungle.

Thanks Mark, I'm actually doing this the first time myself...the water effect that is. So I'm learning as I go as well and after what you've mentioned I'm now under pressure. :flushed::smiling2:

Coming on very nicely indeed. As with all your other offerings I have seen since joining, I have no doubt it will be outstanding.

Yup Greg, seem to think God chucked every left overs from his creations into the jungle. :smiling6:

Hi Guys,

Just to keep you in the loop for not showing anything 'cos I just realised that the Olympics was going on.

Apart from my hobby, I'm really into sport having been in athletics and any other sport during my youth except for Jai Alai or Pelota, Cycling, Skiing(although I've done a bit of grass skiing), Sledding, Water skiing, Fencing or Equestrian. Represented my school in hockey, 400 metres and nearly drowned in water polo. Other favorite games are badminton, tennis and table tennis.
Enough of sport... actually what the Games reminded me was Tokyo. So I looked up some images of my trip almost 4 years ago to Shizuoka that has quite a few nice builds that I personally had to take photos of and like to share.
I'll start a post on it once I gather the pictures.

Don't worry, the dio will get attention once the games are over.

Cheers,
Richard

Your just a tease Richard.:smiling3:
Here we were becoming excited with the thought of seeing the pour and this. I've written to the Malaysian Times concerning this matter.

Yours Upset of Basildon.

Dear Upset Basildon, do not dispare as the end of the Olympics is just 5 days away, the pour perhaps a few weeks. Much to do before the pour...I might be thinking of fish...just kidding. :smiling6:

Cheers,
Richard

Dear Upset, here's something that'll put some cheer back into you. I've tinkled a bit on the water plants attaching them following the flow of the stream. I've only started a section from the end and working my way up. The brush fibres weren't fully coated when I airbrushed earlier so will need detail inking in with tones and highlights of green.



It needs more work with roots on the banks and some coloured pebbles. The resin will be stained so I may need to bring up the contrast of the submerged stream bed.

Our divers and badminton players weren't successful this time around but what an exciting singles final between China and Denmark. In athletics sportsmanship was shown and so far two world records have been broken. I've got the dio in front of the telly but slow progress I'm afraid.

Cheers,
Richard

Excellent!

[rtfoe]

Thanks for that Andrew. Glad you like the progress so far.

Cheers,
Richard

Richard,
Looking good my man love the plants laying down due to the current.

[What?]

Outstanding can't wait to see it finished.

Hi Richard
Love the look of the water weed going with the flow of water. I assume the tint to the water/resin will be quite subtle. It would be easy to spoil all the work on the stream bed even if the contrast is upped.
