    Hi Ron,
    That is looking good so far.
    Maybe you should start a new thread on this.

    You have done a great job.
    I expect we can look forward to seeing more dioramas from you.
    Keep up the good work.

    Thanks Doug, toilet tissue and PVA glue mixture works well, can form into whatever shape wanted allow 24 hours to dry then paint , well worth messing about with , and cheap too

    "And now, something completely different"๐Ÿ˜ฎ
    and not "Number three: A Larch" ๐Ÿ˜
    For a first attempt I reckon that's pretty damn good Chiffs๐Ÿ‘
    I wouldn't know where to start 'making waves'.

    Well done Rick, for a first attempt at a diorama, it's brilliant. What kind of skyhooks do you use to keep the helicopter up in the air?

    Cheers, Nerys
