    You left the door unlocked.....I got in

    Hi all, Andrew from Adelaide, Sth Australia. Realised after 50 years that I missed my model cars as a 7 year old. Never did dioramas back then and thought I would have a go as a 57 year old. Here are my first ever attempts. Very amateur but looking forward to learning. Beer can for size comparison.
    VW rusting in the Aussie outback and a trawler I found.

          Really like the two builds especially the VW. Great water effects with the trawler. Looking forward to more.

                          Thank you all for the warm welcome and encouraging feedback. I will post some more pics and 2 other dio's that are works in progress.
                          Should I start new topics somewhere or just add them here?
                          Can I add videos?

                            Looks like you've taken to this dio thing. The gardening & wave work are excellent. PaulE

                              Thanks, our other hobby here in south aust is fishing but cold, wet, windy winters which keeps the boat in the shed. I am hoping this hobby will keep my mind young and active during winter instead of sense numbing tv on the couch.
