Howdy Here's the thought The crews are in the "Figure" topic and when finished will be transferred over here and we'll start the dio. Till then Tony lee

"And away we go" are you ready? I've got two colors of sand,desert grass and rocks for the base but right now I would like some ideas and suggestions from you guys as to the composition. I can rearrange any of it,the rigs and or the crews. If your creative juices are flowing lets hear it Please. Thanks Tony

Hi Rob When this is finished I guess i'll work on my SU-76 for the Korea GB. At the bench i'm surrounded by models that need final attention boss. Yep i've been thinking about the layout ever since I decided to do a dio. Just something simple for my first try. I got two colors of fine sand,rocks and some desert vegetation. One vote for my brain storming yeeeaaaaaa. Thank you Rob Tony lee

Well alright,two more positives. I'm shooting for a lay out in which no matter the viewing angle the viewer will have something to see that's balanced. Know what I mean fellows?
Thanks for your opinions. Tony

Hear it twice? you bet. A hug would would be nice too. Right front corner you say? "Nothing" is planned I just listen to people and play it by ear but there won't be any candy wrappers, beer and pop cans out here in the middle of no where I can tell you that much for sure. ;D I'll secure the figures into position tomorrow and then start on the base construction. Thanks for the comments Tony lee

Yeah it can be pretty barren in the desert. Nice work with the rocks Tony. Was hoping you wouldn't just plop some random stones here and there

You know dang well I ain't a plopper Rob ;D I gave a well a little thought but since all wells are marked on a map they wouldn't be a little lost. Now some guys are suggesting I use the big rock as a direction marker. Tripoli 220km and barbed wire and jerry cans and camo nets hung between trees and ammo boxes and Roman ruins and I can't remember what all else. ;D This project could very well get out of hand and I would need a 4X8 sheet of plywood for the base.

"T' that's a fantastic idea and would solve everyone's problems. Every site has its clowns huh? ;D Karma gives you the feeling of belonging and I got two now but no need to over do it. Tony lee
