Pair of Remoras

WOW!
Is it heavy?
How are you planning to elevate it? Or do you know Happy Potter?

Your vegetation is really great! Just needs some RR tracks now!

-Mj

Yes , it is bliddy heavy , so I don't intend to suspend it . It will just sit on its current base , which will be tidied up at the end .

  Who's Happy Potter ? Any relation to Barry Trotter ?

  Trackwork is happening next . Then the mine entrance . Just mulling over how the entrance will look .

Looking good, that concept is turning out well.

Ha....one of the most unusal dioramas I have seen. It´s even "worse" than Marc´s current one...... ! Great idea and very well executed so far. Will you be patient enough to wait for the deck crew?

The first 30 of the deck crew sets will be shipping next week if all goes well, with the next 30 2 weeks after, so not TOO much of a wait left.

 Hell , it won't  be nearly finished by the time the deck crew are available . However , I am yet to be convinced  that they will be suitable for this diorama . Plus my figure painting would probably spoil the diorama .

  Forget what I just said , as Michael has just spoken .

Well young lad it's coming on, and looking good!

How about some drystone walls around the mine entrance, got some nice lightweight ones that I'm sure we could fit in there . And at a very reasonable price

   Looks good...  I expected more roots dangling underneat and between the rocks.

Well that is probably the wildest/strangest dio I have seen. Nice work on the scenery. Wish you would do an SBS on it as you do along.

Really great to see this one moving along...look forward to the next update. KBO.

Have you just pinched my tag-line??? - If so then I'm flattered, if not.....then paranoid?

[mad gerald]

... KBO ...

... just curious, what KBO stands for ... googled around and found things like
- Korean Baseball Organization
- Key Bottle Opener
...
... the most matching meaning IMHO seems to be keep buggering on ... ?!

That'll be the one........... !

A well known saying of Sir Winston Churchill. ............ A little like - "Never!....... in the field of human conflict; have so many, been buggered about, by so few"!

... OK, thanks! As a non native speaker I always like to add idioms (or acronyms) to my (active) english vocabulary ...

I'll take a dozen . Have them delivered to the tradesmans entrance by the weekend . Mind you don't include any dodgy ones that have green mold on them . I shall have Mrs. Hudson inspect them thoroughly before accepting them .

  SBS on grass laying :

  You will need static grass , glue , a static grass applicator  ( home made or shop bought ) and a vacuum cleaner .

  1 .   Put glue on diorama .

  2.    Put grass into applicator .

  3.    Turn on applicator and splinkle grass over glue .

  4.    Allow to dry .

  5.    Hoover up unstuck grass .

  6.   Repeat ad-infinitum , or until you run out of diorama . Or grass . Or glue .

   Feel free to ask if there is something that needs elaborating  !

Or the Hoover bag gets full. Then what.
