Thanks again Lads Well the area under the steel bridge needed to be sorted with party slogans and cobble stones painted so that i can start on the rail lines on the top side . I must say i have never thought about how much time i would spend on doing a dio until recently asked , its still hard to say as i would spend some time reading from Books ,trying diferent techniques on doing things ,painting ,and making a lot a bits that yes you can buy in resin or watever at 20 euro or 30 euro a pop i like to make my own stuff if possible , Got a half or quarter part of a sunken boat to do soon some wooden coffee stirrers soaking in water at the mo for said boat , ? afew pics . The road and footpath were painted with a gray and brown paint then sealed with some floor polish Pledge wax and once dry ,a light brown paint watered down to wash in to the , It was while looking at this pic with a beer in hand The expansion gremlins began to think ,more buildings ,more railway more road ,left ,right NO .

Missed the last couple of updates here bud. This is indeed looking good with all the busyness that you've got going on. I'm very much looking forward to seeing all of this painted up and weathered. I really get a kick out of not only looking at the completed build ups but in learning the processes along the way.

Thanks again Lads Not a lot done of late had a major clean up of the model room and spend some time building a kit ? The rail line is all stuck down now and a bolt fixed in place to attach the js too that i almost forgot to add before glueing everything together. The steps in to the rail yard added ,down in the river section ive painted the river part with some oil based paint as iwill be doing the water with varnish I hope ,also added some moss to the walls and that. pics.
