1/72 Normandy dio part deux.

[AndyArgent]

Hi guys, i exspect a few of you will remember my normandy dio, well i have started back on the modelling front but not with conventional model kits but scratchbuilding a building for part two of the diorama.
Made in the same fastion as the previous buildings out of cereal packets and pollyfiller.I still have to finnish the fine details but it is looking somewhere handy. and i have enjoyed creating it.

Andy,I saw elsewhere that you were extending this dio ...csn't wait to see how the next part pans out!! ;D
BTW,I also saw you were revisiting the 'Pillbox'...any truth in the rumour??

[AndyArgent]

Oh yes, updating it dear fellow.

[tonylee]

Andy I thought you bailed on us?

I bet you were just taking a head count to see if anybody would miss you

holy feck i taught i was looking at a reference pic in first........ jaw droping andy

[406 Silverado]

um, I'm with Spud. I too thought it was a ref pic you are using. Those have got to be the most realistic trees I've seen, and the house equally as good.

[dupes]

Ho. Ly. God. Where does the dio end? I can't tell! For real!

[TRM]

Amazing work Andy!! Looking forward to seeing the expansion!!!

[robbo]

Nice one Andy, it's gonna be huge mate.

Got some Silver Birches at work and I was playing with the seed things that fall off, think they are called catkins, they didn't look anything like the little leaves that you showed us should I let them dry out first ??

[AndyArgent]

cheers guys.
Robbo yes mate let them dry mate, i havnt seen any ready yet mate this year may still be too early?

[robbo]

These seed pods were dropping all around me, I was picking em up off the floor

[danb]

Mr Bodge how did you get the stone effect on the side of the house did you scribe the polyfilla to show the stonework?

I saw this in a mag. One of the most impressive dios I have ever seen. And it's 1/72 yet!! I just can't say enough about the amount of realism in this. Looks especially good when set in a 1:1 background. Not many people can make vegitation and buildings look this true to life.

[robbo]

I googled my find at work and it states tthe seeds are like little flies which is right, not sure I've got the right tree now but it was a silver birch

[AndyArgent]

Hi guys sorry for the late reply,s
Dan yes i scribed with a modelling tool simillar to a toothpick but metal.
Cheers Noname.

[danb]
