Looking good Robert,

The roof thatching looks a little thick to me,but it's still early in your dio to really say.The bamboo for the well looks exellent.Are they actual small bamboo sticks or did you use something else?Keep posting.

Tom

Great work on the buildings. I'll be keeping up to date. I suffer a cat, who would immediately think the roof something for him to attack and eat.

Really nice beginnings,
J

Thanks guy's for comments. Some more progress on groundwork , some changes on roof's. Bamoboo sticks are real , pick them up few years ago when they were green and young Any idea where to find some rats , chickens and stuff like that ?

Beautiful work my friend.! Plus model do a dedicated rat set. And either miniart or masterbox have recently released a farmyard animal kit. I don't remember who released it though. Looking forward to more.

Coming along very nicely.I think the roof looks much better.
Master Box has the farm kit,but only 2 cows and a goat.I remember a Tamiya set I bought a long time ago had more of a selection and included chickens.Keep the pics coming.

Tom

attempt to scratch palm tree (in progress), roof needs more density ... tamiya livestock on table

Nice.Palms are not the easiest to make,can be very time consuming.

Hi Robert
Looks very good so far.
What did you use for the side panels on the Huts.
Like the Palm tree.

Shaun

some more progress,
Shaun, side panels are made from some kind of bamboo or weed matting from china shop. (I don know what is proper name for it ... stuff you put under the plate on table, hope You understand what I mean)

cheers

Cool. Nice looking hootch.

Hi Robert
Thanks for the info.
Yep I think I know what you mean, good excuse for a meal out
Coming along very nicely.

Shaun

Robert,

Excellent work so far. You are doing a really good job with the structures and the palm tree looks great. I can't wait to see the finished diorama.

Cheers,
James

Something different. Will be watching for sure.

Very very nice! Really like the hut and lay out of the scene, looking forward to your next progress shots!
How did you do the well, the stonework?

Best regards,
Mark

Robert- Congrats this is coming along beautifully.
Will be following the progress!

Cheers and Thanks
Dave

Looks a very promising diorama, I´ll keep following your post. By the way, did you use the "ficus benjamina" metod to redoing your palm frond ???

Cheers

Santiago

Thanks for comments everyone.
@Mark; stonework is made out of clay .. cut peaces of clay and press them on rough surface stone to achieve some texture ..

@Csago; I used aluminum tape for leafs ... read Your tutorial on palm trees and it was very helpfull ..thanks for sharing..
definitely I will try "ficus benjamina" metod in next project.. this one was just for break from trying to sculpt some busts (if interested You can see them on Historicus Forma sculpting forum under same nickname)

cheers
Robert

hard to find my last post on this project, here's some progress so far. Think this one is near end ...

Nice! I like the figures, seems they are painted and weathered really nicely. Give us some more detailed pics of the figures, please.

Mario

It’s really looking great! As said before; I like the lay out very much.
The huts really come to live with these colors. Figures look really nice!

Keep us posted please! I want to see this one finished

Mark

It can be hard to find an older post.I've found the best thing to do is use the search window here.
Anyway,It's looking exellent.Good choice with the figures and a very nice paint job on them.Keep us up to date.

Tom

Robert- Very nice results, your efforts are rewarded.
I couldn't help but notice Chris, Barnes, and Elias from 'Platoon'.
Really like this dio, and great job on those figures as well.
Cheers
Dave

Nice work! I guess you scratched a lot of this stuff?
