Friends,

two weeks since we started the Campaign and I must say I'm happy with the results so far. Today I made the table for my shadowbox diorama.... I must say I like it. Now I'm gonna start with the lantern that is on the table....this is gonna be fun.

The shadowbox HQ is almost ready as it comes to the rough parts.... walls with structure on it...a wooden painted floor etc.... When my last two walls are done, I continue on some details. After the details and figures are placed in the dio, I'll all blend it together using weathiring techniques. No use to do it now, since I still got to handle it a million times....

That table is - again - superb. You are getting a reputation for your carpentry work !
Storm lamp starts to look spectacular, too !

You may be in for a challenge painting that tin soldier, though. I tried several in the past, and I'm still not happy with the results so far. The secret is in finding a good primer.
Very nice figure, though.

That's a great lantern. The table is coming along really well too.

Well Done.
