It never gets boring to look at such a small but fine masterpiece. I especially like the company logo with the dog.

Russ I have whatever they said to Apollo 13 - something like we appear to have a problem !!
Since down sizing our house storage has become a problem I have stuff everywhere But most of my models have moved on to new owners - sometimes reluctantly others glad to see the back of them !

Nick the ground cover is mainly from https://www.warpainter.net a great little company improving and adding to there collection all the time they come in a 9in x 6in bag a good amount for you money and the little sticky pad sticks like S++t to a blanket - excellent quality gear and a fast service
The earth is mainly sieved dirt and rock from the Lee Bailey narrow gauge site by Ross on Wye and the rail ballast is from the canal bank I also added some ground up bits of bark around the wooded area

Found another one comes in varying sizes but can be trimmed to your liking -I think a very natural look especially in clumps

Nice work. I'm really liking all the clutter and scrap items around the structure, the landscaping and the weathering.  This piece has a lot of charm and character.  Can't wait to see the rest of the diorama you are planning.

I like the grided plantings. It looks like Bob Irwin's garden at the Getty

Barney, you're thinking about this all wrong. The blue tint isn't "wrong", it's ART! Nice work. -- Russ

Sorry Barney, but I'm concerned about the gears. I know we've been through this before but I'm not convinced by the "straight up and vertical" cogs/gears. Shoot me down in flames if you like but it's something that I couldn't live with.

I promise to try and improve

[Ray Dunakin]

Wow! That little crane looks great so far!

  I wouldn't be too concerned , Les, as when it comes into my possession in November there won't be anyone around here so discerning ! Here is a photo of an Accurate Armour's Ruston-Bycyrus RB 19 for you to compare.

  I hear that you have managed to escape from Alcatraz and are now living anonymously in Leicester . Does that mean we will be able to see some of your "proper" modelling again ?
