Wow, love the looks of that church. So realistic

Things are definitely looking up! At least with respect to your build. Election-wise...

Uhoh, is that a hint to some political view of yours? You better prepare to get some flak...

Thanks for that vote of confidence, Dave.

But don't get me wrong--I'm not expressing disappointment that any particular candidate did or did not win; Merely our inability to come up with any better options...

Hey Dave, it's been awhile since I spied this beauty and all I can say is you did an incredible job, hands down. I bet you're feeling relief at it's finish, but a bit empty, as in, ok......next! I always feel empty after a biggin and take a stroll down the dio lane to get me up and runnin again, but it doesn't take long, lol.


Great work Buddy, you really nailed this big beast spot on!


Cheers, Ski.

Looking particularly good in the natural light.

Dave,

Nice work on the trees and great photos. I particularly like the view from down low. The church is very impressive in all its detail.

Looking forward to more.

Slowly but surely will get it done every time ! Everything you add makes it looks better.

Man,that sucks about your job buddy. Lots of that going on around here as well. Hopefully it was just seasonal ?
Nice solution for the wiring thing though and of course,the bottom up shot was cool as well.

Sucks about the job, Dave!

A little excavation, eh? I do love lighting things up. Someday (when all the boxes are finally moved and opened), I will find my Kenworth tractor that lights up and maybe build a diorama around it... maybe hauling an M1A1 somewhere so it fits in our armor world!

Anyway, back to the freeway which is already in progress... your work is looking excellent. The use of "size water" (a fancy name from the theatrical world for a watery white glue mix) has many uses... it works well for that tarp across the fender of a hot rod, the interior ceiling of a custom, the blanket for that picnic outdoors, holding sand to Styrofoam balls in a beach scene, shrinking fabric to make it taut on a wall surface... good thing to have around. A 50/50 mix works well and cleans up with water!

Your dio look great and can't wait to see the church lit up... and not by tank fire!

Keep on keepin' on.

Hi Dave - first, sorry to hear of the news at work - seems to be the time of year for that - same occurred where I work on Tuesday. Hang in there...seems we all get the chance to experience that somewhere along the line.

Second - I'm glad to see your bravery on the dio! It's a durable model, and if you've got a new idea try it! Why not?!?? As for wiring in general, it's not something I enjoy at all - while the results can be nice, ugh - what a headache!! My current project is quiet because I don't want to keep wiring - or should I say, wiring 1:1 scale to look 1:35 scale....even small wire looks fat and out of scale...and hard to hide etc etc...

Looking forward to the next post - hang in there!!
Cheers
Nick

Dave I keep following the work you are doing on this diorama and it is just fantastic.
