    Hi John, I'd like a seat in there amongst the plants and catching the suns rays.
    In Cameron Highlands, the green houses were huge with hundreds of plants and I enjoyed walking along the rows of blooming flowers and greens.
    I'll pull up a seat and wait for Andrea to come along and trip him.:tears-of-joy:

    Cheers,
    Richard

      This looks very interesting dzohn, soviet eastern front (4bogreen)house , where does the flamethrower attachment go ?
      seriously , this looks like a fantastic bit of kit , the instructions are superb and the whole thing is very well thought out , heck its even got the scale- models standard bucket !! Looking forward to the build , we always knew you were green fingered but up till now its just been 4bo overspray!

        Sorry Richard, I'm already seated and munching my marauder's prize: a bucket of pop corn! :rolling:
        You'll have to wait for my "hydraulic crisis" to get me walking.:tongue-out3:

          Going to be a lot of fun anyway, and it’s not even green:tongue-out3:
          Thank you Tim.No unfortunately no green.

          Tony lacking in attachment points for the flame thrower unfortunately. How ever the instructions are superb, each bag is able to be checked off on the sheet . 2 scale sheets so you can identify every wooden part. Can't fault it.

          Please note the " hydraulics " are in the cafeteria area marked on the eating plan.

            For a change from those figures so yesterday and today I spend the time doing the build. Wow what fun, not using the glue that was supplied, but using Deluxe and their syringe system. Also used CA for the assembly of the small wooden items.

            Still loads to do, before I get to start on the green house its self.

            The basket was fun, first make up a carboard box then wrap the thread around it . I decided to do the inside as well, using the pva to fix I used a small flat bladed screwdriver to push the thread in to the corners. Flowers were made using a strip of paper, with numerous cuts about half way of the thickness , then rolled and feathered out. That green vegetation came in two colours, certainly something I would like to find on the net. Its like a very very fine washing up pad material.

              Looks a rather different build, not green & no flamethrower? Maybe a Triffid or two then......

                  Great work John :thumb2:

                  Not sure of the manufacture, but your kit is the very same type kit Mrs B builds now and again.Click image for larger version

                    Interesting build - vegetation looks good, would it 'cross-over' if a supplier could be found?

                      Looks very fiddly but so impressive.

                        Thank you Si.
                        Yes you showed me before and very nice too. Ask Rochelle how she got on with cardboard ,I've found it rather awkward at times, things just didn't always bend in the right way, esp curves. Ill have a look at the web site and see. Had a look just now , no don't think it is the same manufacturers, they have quite a few types . Type in Robotime.

                        Yes Gerry I think it would, think an email to them might be in order ?

                                We had a great time and Tom and I cooked Chicken in batter with a sweet and sour sauce.Sad to see them go off thought Jim.
