    Been busy with the car so will email you later.
    Wibble.
    Wibble thank you ,and good to see you . Will look at that site later .


    Well the snow has started , only done a very light dusting so far as don't want to blot out too much detail .
    This time I'm using the recommended adhesive through the AB .

            That's looking fabulous, John!
            I think you've made the right choice-any more and you'll lose the lovely variations in the colour of the sets

                Thanks Neil, will leave it alone then .
                I had to brush off some of the loose even after turning up side down and tapping .

                That only leaves a final coat of mat to seal the surface and a coat of black on the box .

                    Just the right amount of icing on the cake I'd say. Lovely.

                              That dusting of snow is just right. As you say it's hard to know when to stop but I reckon what you have allows the quality of the dio build to show through.

                                I just cannot get my head around the realism you and other diorama builders acheive, it boggles the mind as to how many different skills and techniques you have mastered to produce such perfection.
                                Kindly award yourself the dogs dangly bits gold plated and mounted on a scratch built plinth.
