Coming along well. The cobbles look really good. Don't forget to add water affects to the drain and the side of the wall, algea, water splashes and damage from the natural rise and fall of the water.

See James's recent other thread as to possible supplies of cork for dioramas. He didn't actually say where he got his cork from though....just hope his Mum doesn't turn over her best placemats any time soon.....

i went to the kitchen, dissasembled the documents off the pinboard, placed them in a cupboard, and scarpered with the board

ideally, i wouldnt recommend using it, it gets you in trouble

James, thats me pooch Sparky, hes 2 or 3,
Thanks Richard, in fact that does not seem a bad idea atall.

parcel arrived today, so i may review the items first, its not like i dont have the time.!
the tristar set arrived with a loose arm, and a loose head, (strange as its in a sealed bag, and the plastic bag looks like its either been chewed, or dropped on the factory. ah the bits are in tact though, thats the important thing.
the sets have good detail, im looking forward to assembling them,

Hey James, the house looks much better with the oils on. Iike how the car isn't parked perfectly straight, and the figure looks great, don't know what you're moaning about! 
Sorry Jaymes, no luck on getting sparky yet!
