never ending dio it seems!

Hi Colin,

I think this will be one you could keep going for months, you could always add or remove characters and vehicles, plus you could also have the seasons change by temporarily adding leaves snow etc...

This is a stunning piece and I love checking out what you have done to it each time...

Polux, I think both this and your 'secret trip' will be going well into 2014 , there's always 'something' that needs adding or changing it seems.

Andy, unfortunately all the figures and vehicles etc are stuck to the base as sometimes I store it on edge to save space, I do like the idea of 'wintering' it up a bit though ..... Maybe when its complete I'll just give it a sprinkle of bicarb and see what it looks like.

More magic from Colin.

Loving watching this develop, in awe.

One thing I notice is that the figures seem a bit glossy - thought perhaps this is just because of the camera flash. If not, then might benefit from a light matt coat of some sort. Although maybe mask the blood first for added gruesomeness against matt uniform material... (And maybe mask off the blonde nurse's long hair!)

I use citadel colours Alasdair, and its been mentioned before by a few people about the satin shine when flash is used, in reality they aren't that bad.

I posted a couple of comparison images (flash and natural light) in my 'coutances' diorama thread, if you have a look through that (and don't fall asleep) you'll see what they look like in 'proper' light.

Thanks for commenting, glad you're enjoying the build.

*edit* ooops. .. Just noticed Joe squeezed a little comment in there ... Thanks for that mate
