Base hit the 99% mark..fine tuning to go . Figs are also near completion. Last will be the jeep and add ons. As always hints and tips welcome.

WOW! How'd you make the trees?

That's a very nice little dio. If I may suggest, put something such as a few little stones, rocks, fallen leaves or flowers on the ground. It will break up the monotony of green colors.

Like it John!
Maybe more tension on the top supporting ropes for the bridge?

well done john, i love it. especialy your tree wood base.

however may i suggest that you extend your dio so that it represents the bridge better, beacuse it just doesnt look right haning over the base.

anyway good job

The wood base on your dio is a very nice touch indeed. I actually prefer it the way you have done it, having the bridge outside the base. It somehow gives the impression of having a way out of that nice little world you created on the wood base dio.

I would add a few more figures to it in order to give it more life though.

Excellent job all round.

Looking really good John. Very original idea. I like the way, the bridge hangs over the edge of the base. It's just so different from what we are used to see.
I agree with Angela. A few rocks and stones would look good.

Hi and Thanks, There is more color to it but my camera doesnt seem to capture it. The trees are done with flower arrangement left overs..I think its babies breath. Sray adhesive and various kitchen spices and layers of various green paint. There are two more figures that go in the dio..only put one here as the others were drying. Still have a ways to go with addins and such.

I love the way it looks, even if "Shemp" isn't there. :-) :-)
