Cheers Andy , very kind my friend. As you say, you never know when you need a handy flare gun or shotgun eh ??

where did you source all the bits? is the furniture 1/6 dolls house stuff - and did you get off ebay.

Thanks Paul , you are very kind. All of the furniture piece's are made from 1;1 stuff, the desk is two jewelry boxes cut up and re attached to look like vam size. The Units are made of a 3D frame, the foot stool is a small wooden box. The sofa I made myself. All the furniture piece's came from charity shops, quite cheaply too. If you check the link at the top of the thread it should take you to my build thread .
All the little books were supplied to me by taffy who printed them off a site, and everything else is a mix of vam/mam and lone rangers stuff

Thanks again Paul, means a lot mate

what an outstanding set up

It was all about pulling the material tight and making fold's to hide all the inconsistency's

you any good at 1:1 upholstery Dal? the wife is always pestering me that we need a new sofa - i'm sure it would be cheaper to bring you down for the day and provide you with some bubble wrap and cheap felt!

This was well worth the wait Dal!!! It looks brilliant! One question though.. Where's the roast chicken dinner??? Lol

they are on a diet !!

Thanks ross mate, means a lot, thanks for all the ideas and encouragement along the way too !!

Thanks Clive, I liked the idea of the ufo and bigfoot posters as it was the type of thing involved in my adventure action man games as a kid, and so I just had to include them.

AHA! So you weren't deliberately referencing the X Files then? The UFO poster is the one Fox Mulder has on his office wall.

That did play a part too winch !!

A few more shots, enjoy

Dal, that is superb!! I bet you are made up with yourself! That is just great, and I can see you have really had fun putting it together and finding all the bits to dress it - I love the pipe weed bottle. Superb Dal!

Many thanks Tony, it was great fun to do although somewhat daunting at times . I still want to add a few minor details, but other than that very happy with it . I am pleased you liked the labels, and I could not resist popping in a LOTR reference .
Thanks again mate, it really means a lot, thank you

Today's shots look great Dal. Although are you sure it's a 'crib'? Looking at how out of date the magazines are I'm inclined to think it's really a dentist's waiting room!

, possible conspiracy papers steve

Very nice photo's Dal . He looks very much at home.

Dal,

With the windows have you thought of some kind of bash with an assault entering from the outside?

The Assault could be Jake and another SAS guy busting up a fake ID ring or something like that LOL.

Love your work dude.... Serious LOVE IT!!!!!

Lots of work but we all love it...

Brilliant Dal, well done mate. A lot of patience there Dal, awesome work. Love the photo where you can see Action Man's head in the mirror.

More great pics Dal, hope Mrs Dal lets you keep it out on display!!!!
