Brilliant craftmanship, Dal!!! It's looking great so far!!!

I can't believe i didn't see this post earlier. Posts sometimes show up late in my vintage/antique browser!
At least you don't get told off like i do with all the paint, glue and varnish fumes that come with model making sorties


When this is finished, I'm looking forward to seeing your diorama used in a comic story

Awesome ..... Cant wait to see more

Many thanks guys for all the encouragement, it is keeping me going, thanks !!

Ross, I am moving as fast as the drying glue allow's

Clive, you are very kind my friend, and yes I get told off too, frequently !! , I am hoping to use it in a forth coming comic strip at some point

Len, Thanks mate

Danny, thanks for all the encouragement mate

Alex, cheers mate, means a lot my friend

started making the unit shelves today, I simply glued in cut down match sticks to make supports for the shelves.

Next job, a sofa for him to sit.





Still lots of work to do on he sofa, more updates to follow, thanks for looking

Absolutely blinding, can't wait to see the next installment

Cheers my friend ! You are very kind

Sofa idea!

Round the edges and flock it!

Rick

, thanks Rick !

You gonna upholster the sofa Dal? You could get mrs Dal to sew you some cushions..

, mrs Dal may yet be roped in ross !!

That's coming along very nicely Dal, great work there mate.

You've clearly got a touch of the Lawrence Lewellyn-Bowen about you lol !!!!!

cheers richard, not sure whether to take that as a compliment tho ??

I finished covering the sofa, and the room is nearing completion. Here is a teaser pick

Looking great Dal! I almost sent you some 1/6 scale newspaper and magazine pages I'd printed but didn't think the quality was up to the standard if your room! Lol what are those boots from in pic? Had a pair exactly same but painted them brown and sliced down back so they didn't yank vams feet off when removed!!

Cheers ross, and thanks for thinking of the newspapers for me mate, very kind. Taff printed me off a load of books and stuff, I printed the newspapers off around the library (as I do not have a printer !).

The boots came with a figure I am still trying to find out what it is ?? He is a U.S desert marine, a real cool figure. I shall post a pic of him in 1/6 questions a little later.

I wonder if they are off same range as mine were! Mine was a black marine figure from wilkinsons years ago! I bought it for Jazmine cos the uni and gear looked good! Check his butt.. Does he have ES TOYS on it? If so it's made by 'Ever Sparkle Toys' and I can't find anything else about them!! Sally had a scuba diver one once and that's all I could tell her too!

I'll check it out ross, thanks for the tip mate !
