Than you Angelo! believe me my friend, I would also like to do the same

Great work Dal, coming along nicely!

Cheers Richard . Pleased you like it mate

nice one Dal

Thank you

Over the last few months I have been re building Jake's study, 2.0 if you will. It is much bigger than his original study. The original design was inspired in part by Kraka's excellent baker Street dio. I never realized how hard it would be when I first started out, but it has been hugely rewarding.
Anyway, its still far from finished, but here is an update.

I'm just loving the one picture of the update of Jakes Study 2.0, when you've completely finished it can we see a aerial view of Jakes Study ? Or even a video tour of it all .

Nice work Dal, there's so much to study in the photo, I wish I had the patience to make a similar diorama  

Man you do fine work Dal! Just awesome!

sometimes it's not the room but what you put in it that makes it a room

Thank you guys! very kind indeed . I agree Johnny, 100% mate

Thanks Nate!

Great updated pic Dal, Jake looks pleased with it!

Thanks Rich!

Jake is a hard vam to please

Excellent images of Study 2.0. It was a very nice diorama and served you well for many photos and many adventures. I believe it was this version in which the beginnings of the seamless contingent of BAM Agents began making an appearance.

The red velvet sofa was a nice upgrade from 1.0. Lord Conan's presence certainly added an air of completeness.

The last photo, with the pretty Agent in the leather jacket, offers a good view of the wooden cabinet, which was an elegant accessory in this version.

Do you have a link to the Sherlock Holmes room that you mentioned as having been an inspiration for your original study and for 2.0?

I think it must have been this one – http://actionmanhq.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=22379 – but sadly, the photos are now missing.

Hey Dave, thanks! The 2.0 study was indeed the one that got used for the phicens. It had a few upgrades from the original, ideas that were easier to do than first time around. The one thing I was never happy with was the wallpaper. I did sonsider painting it, but I knew that I would incur the same flash problems as the original, that was when I knew a 3.0 version would come about
Ah, yes Kraka's Baker Street, a true masterpiece! here is a direct link to Kraka's site.

Fantastic! Thank you for that link!

Wow, he started back in 2008, and it was a three year build!

I wonder if he is still active in the hobby, or was this a one-off project.

The full room box is not particularly large. I am definitely going to carefully page through the WIP section. Combined with looking at your posts about Jake's study, I think I will feel much more confident going forward with my next project.

No problem Dave, kraka is still active on unofficial action man hq forum, but he doesn't post much in truth. I love Baker St, as I said, its what inspired me to build the study . I shall look forward to seeing what you come up with Dave
