Amigos,

The pics below are the latest situation report on my SPLASH dio. It is still far From Finished, but at least it's getting somewhere. Since I'm dedicated to this little project, I'm gonna take some time to finish it...

I hope you enjouy the pics as much as I do.

Simply outstanding dude this is getting nicer and nicer every time you post pics of it.
I like your water and how did you make this foliage that hangs down from your bridge???

Go on and finish it man it already is lovely to see it will be better when finished

::slack jawed::
Man - Window on War was great - Splash Down!! That is (as Tony the Tiger would say) Grrrreat.

I love the draping foliage. Please share. This is going to be one awsome diorama (no offense but glad you didn't make it on time, now the rest of us have a chance #:-) - just goffin around)

Excellent work eagle!!!!!!!
Are you sure thats a dio and not aphoto of some place real??????

Very nice. Museum quality!! I can't wait to see this finished!!

Danny - really (REALLY) nice work. Email me the photos when you are finished, and i will put them in the contest folder. You will miss out on the voting, but i want this to be a part of the overall folder for future references. - Keith

Danny, superb job, it looks fantastic, plz keep us posted, this is one I want to see to the end

Guys,

thanks for all the kind words. Like said many times before, this dio represents a real life scene from my youth...... and I'm very dedicated to make this something special.

the draping foliage....... it rocked my world when I tried this..... I was amazed how simple it was and what results I got. How I did this.....that's the big secret........A secret that I will be happy to share with this community.

Mid july I'll publish a feature on the foliage and the "painted water" in both English and Dutch . Prepare to learn on how to make the draping foliage at very, very low cost with great results. Be there !

Thanks again for the kind words. These words are an indication to me that I'm on the right track.... I'll keep you posted.

Great work Danny. The foilage is some realistic. I cannot wait until you share your secret with us.

HOLY COW: Danny you just take your time, it is so worth the wait to get to a end product like you have there. I can't get over how good your foliage looks. Every time you add something its better than the last bit. This is really what the campaign is about, doing different things and learning how to achieve such outstanding results. Can't wait for your article.

Danny, je bent een echte Groene jongen ;o)

Whoa, incredible work. Is this really only your second dio ? Some people do a dozen dios before they come even close to that.

Can't wait to read the foliage recipe !

SIMPLY BEAUTTIFUL.

Oh, the suspense is going to kill me #:-). Seriously, this is one outstanding groundwork. Can't wait to see it done.

Danny - SEND me your image files so I can at least have the progress to date included in the SPLASH folder. You will not be eligible for the judging of the contest, but that doesn't really matter. i want all participants who did work to be able to share that work in the folder. When yuo are done with everything, I will include the updated photos in the folder. Till then - share what you have!

Keith,

when I get home tonight, I'll send you those pics !

Thanks !
