First try at a 1:35 dio

[adt70hk]

No complaints from me Gerry. I'm working on my first dio at the moment. Hope it looks as good as yours.

Thanks, though with this one, all of the wood has gone missing (probably thrown out) as I'm fairly sure that there was a 'tree trunk' down to the 'water' and a few 'bushes' along the top of the 'bank' (at least, looking at the holes in the paper, there was!) they were all bits cut off the shrubs outside.

Revell Plasto, seems to be a good deal runnier

Plasto tends to separate in the tube, so you get a kind of glue-like stuff with the colour of the putty — or even transparent — out of it first, and later on it becomes thicker and pastier. I much prefer the latter, so when I have a tube of Plasto I usually squeeze all the glue out of it first.

is 'runnier' a real word?

A word is real when you use it.

Nice build, I like what you did with the Tamiya half heads.

Missed this one Gerry. Looks great. Always nice to pull off your first dio and you certainly did that. And rightly so you should be well chuffed with it

Thanks, think that I managed a little bit better with the last lot - but I'm a long way away from a lot of people on here.

Always room for improvement with me, think that the latest 'jumped' a grade with the encouragement and helpful hints from people on here.

I learned so much with my first ever dio and as you say, with the help from others on here, i can only improve. Looking forward to your next one

Hi Gerry
You should be pleased with that. I think we can only learn so much from books, YouTube etc - even suggestions from fellow modellers. You learn much more from actually doing it. I remember many years ago at teacher training college being told ....
