Cheers guys your too kind , oh yer Mark if you were 35 scale youd be a giant cos this is 72 scale. Updated and redone the tree and removed the other one and tweaked the groundwork on the bank and added first wash to road awaiting highlighting. Next its gonna be the superdetailing ,eg: power cables and pilons and roadsigns and rural equipment. Im a lot happier with the tree now,
If an alien were to come down and zap me to 1/35 scale..my first choice of places to live would be in your diorama...the fishing looks good there but not sure if my lure could penetrate the "water"
OMG!!!!!!!!! Bodge you need to patent that Super Duper Special Shrinking Machine you used. Totally bloody brilliant, looks so real and lifelike can't wait to see it all put together.
Bodge what can I say? I'm loving this work of you'rs Pretty soon we'll be seeing are first snow over here in New England and when I start to get the winter blahs I'll just have to look at you'r wonderful work to keep me going till spring

This is amazing work, Bodge. I'm blown away at how realistic you've managed to make this. It looks like a place where I want to go spent a couple of weeks, walking up and down that road, smoking Gitanes and acting all Frenchish. I'm normally not a fan of the Woodland Scenics tree material, but you have really brought out it's potential.
I continue to follow this thread with envy, and with delight.

On the workbench: ginormous Kharkov dio
This evening ive added a lot more undergrowth to the riverbank to break up the straight line and ive painted first grey coat to the road which will be weathered and toned down when its dry.
Let me guess. You didnt go to work again today. LOL. Absolutely awesome job Andy. I showed this to Geri's boy, and even he was stunned by your work, and that takes some effort, ill tell ya.
...Guy
Latest update is i made the railings on the bridge and weathered them, i also made some wrought iron sheets out of coffee cup holders cut to size ,painted with migs dark wash then highlighted with mig light rust ,going back and forth with this. I finnished right side bank and i made a couple of trees.
Hey Manny it sounds like your havin fun,sometimes you just cant seem to get somethings the way you want to. I had a figure like that a while back , i just couldnt get the head right no matter what i did. I ended up taking the head of and throwing the blasted thing in the bin saying good riddens as i did. NO IM NOT SAYING DO THAT TO YOURS. God Forbid HANG IN THERE and it will come im sure.Thats one hell of a dio with loads of action to catch the eye

Thanks panzerguy. Latest update ,sprayed grass areas, ripples to water with pva which will dry clear and more weeds etc.
Bodge WOW! That is really some great work. With the detail the 1/72 scale kits have these days this is gonna be a stunner for sure .
WOW man thats Fantastic!!!! it looks soooooo real!
One thing though maybe you should consider some old rusted out farm equiptment (if you can find any/scrach any) betwean that brick wall and the house I think that would look pretty cool.
Cheers Guy, And the work goes on ,Today i have laid in the rest of the road in plaster with a ditch to one side and a drop down to a marshy field on the other .I got the grass seed out and sowed the field on the right hand side,(man that grass grows quick it needs cutting already.) I then added tufts of grass in marsh and grass bank, these i done by pulling off little clumps of a grass matt and sticking them in individually with pva glue and theres a lot of them. ive had to blend the two different fields together with the clumps getting more sparce as they go up the bank. The rest of the field was made out of hanging basket liner as before. I have also made some hedge row out of rubber horse hair and scenic foliage glued on with spray adhesive. there is more needed on this side yet with the addition of trees and long grass/weeds etc.But its comming on nicely.Hopefully i can get the airbrush out tommorow and green up the field just a bit like i did to the riverbank as to tie in all the greenery together ,but keeping this proccess light as to not over do it. im trying to get this as realistic as possible.
Bloody hell, Andy. Thats just amazing. What did you oppo say when you said 'Im skiving off today to model' Was he pleased LOL. Ill tell SATAN (Big E) to have a look. He'll be as blown away as I am, im sure.
