And the question is?
I'm sorry... we had a minor earthquake here in Melbourne last week, and my psychic abilities have been on the fritz ever since...
Seriously though, you want help or advice on what specifically?

hello. here is some advise
to start with, i would put some black card or similar aroun the base so t looks tidier,
also, your barbed wire is a little thick, try using a smaller guage wire,
are you using static grass or a railway scatter for the grass?
instaed of putting down a layer of " brown stuff" (railway scatter again?) i would
suggest pouring plaster onthe area you want to be a road, or muddy road, and whilst wet,
sprinke in little tiny gravvely stones, run a spare wheel or such along th eedges to reproduce a
road that had been driven on a lot e.t.c, maybe if its a country lane, you might want to
reproduce the little grassy verge in the middle,?
your planks are ok, for a starting point, they would look better weathered, and in the first picture,
you can see the (?Glue?) that is fixing the plank to the wire.
im not sure what the orange bits are supposed to be?, are they stones?
i woudl suggest reaserching a couple of pics of the area int he world you are trying to reproduce,
and looking for coulour inspiration, and vegetation reference, .
underneath the green bank, you can clearly see white (?foam?) underneath, i suggest painting the groundwork
before applying your grass/vegetation.
personally i would steer away from litchens, unless you are planning to put some sort of foliage on them,
i reccomend static grass or heki grass mats over railway scatter.
for your figure there are some obvious seam lines and he has a curious ridge on his shoulder. when making figures
make sure to remove all seam lines, and make sure the arms/fegs e.t.c are in the correct position, if there is a little
gap dont be afraid to use some filler.
you didnt specify what advice you wanted so i went for the try to give advise on as much as i can approach.
hope at least soem of this helped
thanks

Hi all,
I'm sorry to anounce that Ethan aka Defiler55 is most probably a sock puppet of Matthew Cerisano aka surfboard66.
both have the same account on photobucket, pictures are terrible in the same way.
take a look HERE
Ethan/Matthew, maybe I'm wrong, but if I'm not than your behaviour is not welcome here.

Andrzej, Mathew or Ethan have been warned before, and it was claimed that one was a friend, but only one post used different ip,
ill try and dig up the thread,
ah you found it, the Audie murphy dio,
it is fishy, and i guess if they are workin on the same dio it would have been best to say that before,

Sock puppet is second online identity of already existing forum member used to support idea of original forum member or to create fake conflict that is suppose to provoke a discussion.
I.e. member X creates second account: Y. X post some idea and Y is supporting X’s idea to encourage others to support it and to create an impression of X being right.
After Wikipedia: “A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception within an online community. In its earliest usage, a sockpuppet was a false identity through which a member of an Internet community speaks with or about himself or herself, pretending to be a different person, like a ventriloquist manipulating a hand puppet.”
You can see this very nice sign on the bottom of this site:

Aah, thanks for the explaination Andrzej. The only time I have ever made myself a second account on a net community was when I forgot my username and password (I've had about 7 YouTube accounts, ). Luckily I haven't forgotten my password for this site yet

Can't find it but I remenber this Audie murphy dio.
That's a sad behaviour because he (they) is a Diomachine (cf the load of 'First dio ever advice HELP')

@ Claude
Yeah, I thought so too (at the beginnign). Right after it appeared there was good discussion about sock puppeting in Site Talk section as I remember.
@ Dean
There is nothing wrong in having more than one account - forgetting paswords happens and not every site has a password reminder... but... having more then one and using all of them in the same time is not too... well... maybe not ethical, but it sure is not OK for the rest of honest forum members.
