Thanks most kindly gents it pleases me you all find this acceptable
T it took me long enough perhaps that's the key to a better finish
DR the guy responsible for getting me into diorama making, the one and only Shep Paine, said in his books to never leave a blank spot on the base or it will capture the eye. I try to follow this along with other sage advice from him
Bill thanks those MiniArt buildings are tough but worth the effort
Coro I agree concerning the figure count thanks for the nice comments
Gary thanks good to see ya back brother
Sorry for the late response I've been out of town on some training for work
Regards,
Mark

Thanks Gents
DR I still recall the flyers in the Monogram kits done by Paine; I'd stare at them in disbelief for hours. I would have been about ten or so. This prompted me to fill my mothers cookie sheets with sand, dirt, and small rocks and set my tanks on them, an activity that did not make me popular with either ma or pa
Regards,
Mark

sweet, sounds very familiar, I used bring mud and rubble into the house, much to my mums annoyance!!!! i also used to pinch my dads matchboxes (they were made with realy thin wood ideal for making ammo boxes etc ) very much inspired by the great stan catchpole !!!! aarrrgh, them were the days,
