thanks. still have not decided what going on it yet, but i am thinking of a few americans hiding under the bridge (possibly injured) whilst the germans cross unaware.

Andy i like the water the way it is,it reminds me of a fast flowing river. keep up the good work.

Nice looking bridge Andrew. Do you have anything planned to cross it yet - vehicle, troops?

Looks like it's going to be a great dio.

All the best

Andy that bridge is looking great mate, the ground work is amazing and the amount of detail is superb, looking forward to seeing how you finish it.

Andrew, just playing catch up after a weeks absence and I've just had a relaxing read of your build thread.....

This is top drawer stuff, great scratch building coupled with a very nice river.

I'm glad to read you adopt the same method as me for dios'..........Just a rough idea and let it develop and alter as the build progresses.

Very nice,

Ron

not much progress the last few days but i am having a go at some trees, used twisted copper wires and then coated with vallejo dark earth, any ideas what to stick over them to look like foiliage because i am unsure.

I use mulled up green scour pads then i go over that with a mix of 3 railroad grasses (coloured sawdust i suspect lol) Some herb instead might work.

I paint the pva on the branch ends for better controll as apossed to spraying it.

HTH

Edit: The way i do it has been for "busy" full trees i havent done it for your style of wire frame, might not matter.

[aaron]

The foilage method i describes suits this style of frame [ATTACH]44677.vB[/ATTACH]

i suspect that i may have to make more branches as they look a little sparse
