See what happens when i post in the armour side...it all kicks off. I still think id make a fantastic woman, dispite what Aaron says, Cow!! I had the very great pleasure of seeing this fantastic build in the flesh at our clubnight last night, and it is a thing of beauty. Andy you are definately a very talented man for sure. Of course it wasnt as good as the Abrahms that was there but hey, you cant have em all ![Whistling [:-^]](/emoticons/icon_smile_whistling.gif) ![Wink [;)]](/emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif) ...Guy

Not seeking any crowns, just responding to a direct comparison of our work by another poster in your thread---nothing more, nothing less...And as far as commenting that bbrowni was "looking out for you" implies to me that you feel I was attacking you, which it was obvious I was not. I'm sure you can "look out" for yourself... It is funny though (regarding the poster who mentioned me) that you never see the same comparison regarding tanks, etc: "Wow, great tank, Joe---best I've ever seen! (sorry Charlie)."

Well, I just looked in here after a while (been out of town, then very busy here) and I think the figs are great. Both of you guys, Bodge and Manny, kick my behind as far as skills go so I'll leave it at that.![Thumbs Up [tup]](/emoticons/icon_smile_thumbsup.gif)
Will work for Sherman parts......

Hi mate , i have got a box full of home made cobbles but these ones are from plus models and they are a plaster made cobble and you can break them easily so you can stagger the bond on the pattern on the street. Nice work your doin of late , i think i will be comming to you for addvice soon.

Whoa! I don't know how I missed this! Bodge, fantastic work on your Jagdpanther! The finish is awesome, as are your figures. I would be VERY happy if my Jagdpanther comes out HALF as good as yours did. Excellent, all the way around! Nate

Those cobble stones look the part and what you have laid out looks VERY interesting and realisitic. I just might have to get me some of those for a future wreck. Can't wait to see how they look painted. Rob

Andy - I see you are "cobbling" out a base. Looks like another one headed for greatness. Rounds Complete!!

8 Months later and the show continues,This week im avin a go at this again. Started by finnishing all the Cobbles and sprayed them with grey primmer, then painted them with migs dark wash this i done because i wanted them a dark colour and it also lets the grey show through. Then i have added crushed cement dust to fill all the gaps. When this was completed i fixed it in place by spraying PVA glue over the entire section. When this was dry i painted a wash of dark grey/black down the ruts in the road and in the area damaged. This i done because i wanted them to be darker for when i add the water running down the street and in the puddles. I then started to pour my first layers of resin (Woodland scenics water) First i painted the entire base with this as i wanted a wet street and these cobles are actually shinney even when dry where they have been polished by traffic over the years. The cobbles absorbed the resin very quickly and needed a second coat to seal them. I then added the first layers of puddles. I need to let this dry now for a couple of days before i pour some more as this stuff shrinks back when its dry and you need to pour it in thin layers. On the next layers im gonna mix in some dirty mud colour to represent a realistic puddle but allow it to be very translusent. Considering this is virtually home made im very happy as to how its turning out.The key to realistic scenery is to look at the real thing and even take photo,s for reference so as to create your world in miniature.
