They're looking great so far Paul! Really looking forward to seeing the diorama come together!

Great work on the camo Paul - personally I think the ambush blobs look great!

Cool idea to show the JTs in different schemes too

Thanks everyone, I continue to crawl towards a final point wherever that ends up being! Unfortunately things keep getting in the way including a potential Parkinsons diagnosis which is being delayed by covid (.I have to say I am.in no rush for the answer tbh... ) back to the important stuff...

As having decided to do this in 1/48th I then discovered the lack of preformed diorama stuff in that scale so I continue down the O gauge train stuff (1/43 bah!) This is a card building, my first and it seems ok as the base is 18" square









Thanks for looking and the nice words

Paul

Sorry to hear about your potential diagnosis. I'll keep good thoughts for you.

The diorama is coming along. You've made some good progress!

[digger303]

Fingers crossed for you in the health dept.
Never done anything in paper or card since my paper aeroplane days.They are well printed, can they be weathered at all ?

[Stokesy44]

Sorry to heat that mate. Stay strong.

Those paper buildings look the biz, lovely detail. The JTs look pretty awesome too.

Oh bugger, sorry to hear of Heath problems
Wishing you very good luck there

I keep reading this title as Surrender at Isengard and figure you as a white wizard fighting Gandalf

Really sorry to hear about the potential health issues Paul - wishing you all the best and that the diagnosis turns out for the better.

Nice work with those buildings too - my brother uses them extensively on his railway layout but I'd never thought about using them for a 1/35 dio before...

Paul, I'm really sorry and saddened to here about your protentional health and other personal issues. Extremely difficult I appreciate, but would try and encourage only protentional at this stage health wise.

None of the above appears to be effecting your modelling skill, the build is really coming together mate, following very closely

[Quax]

A bit more progress made, it does take weathering a bit but I haven't pushed my luck...





Cheers
Paul

[Stokesy44]

That looks really good. Quite poignant too.

Iserlohn, when german troops in arms parade in front of allied soldiers and German people, so incredible and yet ...

Good work on this diorama.

[digger303]

Great dio ....makes one wonder whats going on from different view points.

[BigWall]

Wow! Very nice, quick progress.

[Kevthemodeller]

Oh yes

[Tomcat64]

Hmm... Looks like the detail might be a bit out of scale for 1/35 but that works brilliantly in 1/48 Paul - that's awesome mate!

[Quax]

I'm calling this done now, heres a taster but the other pictures are here : Reveal

Paul
