Jake's study 2.0

You certainly love a project Dal

Great stuff mate.

Had an hour or two free this afternoon, so I did a litle more to the study . It is a slow process, but it is starting to come together now, enjoy!

The door frame is now finished, as is the cladding along the side wall. Also you may notice a window sill.



Also starting adding the upper wall cladding,





I also finished off and tidied up the cladding on te other side of the room, I also need now to sand it down and get rid of the glue residue





So next step, a good tidy up.



So, still a few jobs to do and then staining the wood. More to come soon

Thanks for looking!

Glad to see its keeping you busy Dal

Coming along nicely mate!

Cheers Johnny! the trouble is mate, you just can't get the staff!

thanks for the encouragement! always appreciated, thank you

I did the photos to give a sneak peak of Jake's new study I have been working on. There are still a few jobs to finish, but hopefully that will not be long away. Plus I hadn't posted anything for a while

The meeting..,
Minty and Urika explain to Lord Conan that they believe they have found the legendary pink diamond. Lord Conan studies the old map intently and he smokes his pipe.
"Hmmm, I see here the island is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, its a long journey"
"Yes but well worth it my Lord, the diamond is priceless! but it comes at a cost!!"



The revelation!....,
"Cost??, My dear anything worth getting nearly always comes at a cost.., I remember once we were on an expedition"
Minty interrupts Lord Conan,
"My lord, the diamond is cursed!, and no one has survived long enough to know or learn the effects!"
Lord Conan chuckles then replies, "My boy, I do not pander to local superstitions! Its all pish posh! Ha!"



A little while later...,
"Teegan prepare the hurricane for take off, make sure all supplies are loaded, and see if you can find Samual!.., Brace load the land rover and get it on the plane.., we're going to need it for where we are going!" Instructed Lord Conan.
"Where exactly are we off too?" Inquired Brace,
"Skull Island my boy! to find the cursed pink diamond of death!"

I'm really really liking the look of Jake's Study 2.0, keep up the Dioramatastc work mate . Oh going to Skull Island to find the cursed pink diamond of death sounds one existing and dangerous adventure, I LOVE IT, wish you carry on and make a part 2 and so on and so because it would be existing and dangerous set of stories Dal, I know I would definitely read and look at the pictures .

Thanks Al! I might very well continue with the story. Really pleased you like the look of the study

Wowser!!... looks amazing. So much detail....love the tiny Spiderman and superman figures on the shelf.

Skull island is one adventure that I'm looking forward to seeing.

Just spotted the hulk and some LOTR characters....oh and what's the white one on the right??

Outstanding study looks fantastic Dal excellent work

Thanks Chris!, Its a re build of the original study I built. Most of the things are things I have come across or made. The little Marvel figures came from kinder type eggs sometime back, I think the white one is the Phantom, but I could be wrong. The Lord of the Rings figures are from a chess set that I picked up a couple of figures for. Really pleased yu like the build so far....,
Yeah I think 'Skull Island' would make a great story too

Many thanks Wolfie! your feed back is always appreciated my friend

Damon fine work can't wait too see the rest of this story unfold. Now you need a miniature 3D map of Skull island I may get the Skulpy out and try my hand at it

Thanks Johnny! as I said, still a few jobs to finish off the study. I will also try to do some more to the story!

Love it , looks great dal

He does, he does!.but doesn't he take ages!! If I was building a dio I'd get on with it and finish it in no time!!


The 2.0 study looks great Dal. As other have said it's the little details that make it.

Skull island huh? Why do I picture Lord Conan being chased down a corridor by a giant rock ball?

@ Steve! well you know how it goes mate, things get in the way!

Yeah Skull Island, might be a challenge! I will have to have a think about that one!

Nice start Dal...........Who's that lil guy. Said Jakes study , then saw this lil dude & thought, feck me Jakes had a facelift.
