Bob, I have bought the Jungle Sets from a German Band called Fredericus Rex and they look really crisp and might used to full satisfaction in scenes where you need jungle plants. They also do flowers and pond plants, lots to discover but as said, they are very very crisp!

Copy that. I know the owner of that brand and hes a real great guy. Worked with several sets (palm trees etc.) and it was a pure joy!

Frank - Thanks for the info buddy. I will look into it when I get enough guts to venture into a jungle dio......Hmmmmmmmm......thinking. Lucas - Good to hear and appreciate the input. So with not all the dio stuff here yet I did some work on the base with what I had. Wash, dry-brush, then foliage and grass. More on the way. Bob

A perfectly trimmed garden! Looks perfect, peaceful, just the way I like it (to sit down here, take a break, lay on my back and let the sun shine!) The flowers are really eye catching!!

Andy - I have seen him in a dress.........He looks..........well.............im done! Frank - peaceful indeed Lucas - no buddy, I like the shade it is at this point so I'm am going to leave well enough alone. Bill - proposals, I'm still waiting for a dinner date LMAO Leon - Thanks buddy So the following is what happens when you sneeze on a 1/35 jeep: detail painting, assembly and light weathering to follow. Just a heads up to those that order from Internet Hobbies. Great bunch of people and I want to support a Veteran owned company but their shipping is really bad. Ordered stuff almost two weeks ago and it shipped today. I ordered the scenic stuff from PA and got it two days later and two orders from Sprue Brothers and they were ordered after the IH order. Sorry but I don't think Ill order from them again. This is the second time and I have run out of patience. If its going to be late at least fire me off an email and let me know. I had to contact them and it took three days for a response. Bob

Nice seeing the priming victim all laid out!! Best of luck to you on the order! Communication is the key! You probably wouldn't have been half as angry if they got back to you right away. I got one of those hanging emails out there myself right now...just not with them!! Looking forward to that color flying around soon!!

My personal best on the Tamiya Jeep is 2 hours from box opened to being primer ready.
Are you going straight O.O.B. or will there be add-ons?
Nice plants by the way!
