John...did I miss the boat?? Just witnessed another epic build and again music filled my ears...this time from "Enemy At The Gates". So now you're a figure convert.

Anyone who had read through this long process would not have only enjoyed the build but the chatter and banter which will sorely be missed since MM's closing.

Cheers,
Richard

John,
Like Allen D., when I saw the first picture of the building it was such a realistic portrayal that I thought I was really looking at the real deal. Truly a fantastic finish that all came together with a lot of hard work,,, well worth the wait.
Bravo my friend

 

[Evan James]

John it's incredible! What more could the viewer ask for, it's got so many points of interest and great atmosphere.
Love to all the family mate

The buildings, the models, the figs, the outstanding truck, I have no words. What the other guys said. A really amazing job. Glad all is good on the home front. PaulE

Paul . ...... Wow thank you buddy, glad you enjoyed it . Yes all is well, apart from granddaughter ( 18) doing her exams, so she is a bit stressed out .

[JR]

Just realised there were more posts above
Ross.....Thanks mate.
Danny..... Thanks again, oh a little Russian St 65 tractor, and some deep water, but NO FIRE.
Richard.... Yes , still say it due to Peter, thought he won't admit his influence with having his figures to hand .
Joe...........Cheers mate, definitely worth carrying it out side into to sun to get those shots.
Ev............. Thanks buddy.
Still can't say whats on the sheet, as ( no panic ) clue there has not noticed it !
Thank guys for staying with this, i've really enjoyed doing it, been a long winded one , but as Richard noted the fun and banter was so good i'm sure will continue on the next build .
John.

*cough* *cough* - I am left in the dusty trail of your sprint to finish with this superb work - top notch - I love the carved buildings and can only hope I can pull one off half as good as yours.

JR

This reminds me of the famous quote from George Scott's Patton when he gives a speech to the English WI and his aide Lieutenant Col. Charles R. Codman says "The Russians, The Russians, Don't Forget The Russians"

Well it was great to see them arrive and finish off this wonderful dio....

Now I wonder?? What does that banner say?

Steve

 

[JR]

Steven ... Thank you for your kind consideration, seeing your trench work I can see no reason why you won't be able to do it
Steve..... glad you arrived , now its down to you to fathom out the sign !!!!!!!!!

John.
