Thanks guys - it has been collecting dust for a few weeks, but last week I got around finishing it - and today I did some pictures.
The roof is simply small squares of carboard cut and glued on a smooth piece of carboard. Paint and weathering finished it.

Thanks Guys - its nice to be able to put it away, because quite frankly - it has been so long on the workbench that it was turning stale

Jan, your dio looks great, very inspiring! Nice Work!
I know the feeling when getting a project done... At some point you just want to start something new...
Cheerio!

Indeed I thought you were pretty fast at dumping pictures of your diorama on the net, while sparing us of a decent WIP program
yet, that's a really good diorama you did, very original.
May i suppose that we will see you more under the sea now?
Anyway, good one -again!
