Hi John
Just catching up with this one after the migration.
Superb is just not a big enough word, John
Looking at your "man cave" it is definitely your Magnum Opus, but there are plenty of other substantial dioramas supporting it.
Time to look after the family before starting another one?
Really great work
Regards
Steve H

 

[JR]

Thanks to Greg
and to Steve......Family are all ok, Kay is recovering well . Started on the new S 65 Diorama as Managements Birthday is on Sunday and the Devon crew are in attendance .So a full house and no modelling from Friday night .

Hi John.

As a fellow MM refugee it gives me great joy to see you reaching the end of this magnificent project. Makes my Italian village look rather pathetic by comparison!

Well done. A triumph!

Tim

Tim .
Hi , and thank you for such a kind comment . Your Italian village is certainly not pathetic !! I've loved following it and glad you've brought it here .

John, Finally caught up and what a treat! Wonderful!! So much to see and you should be proud of this one for certain.
Glad to hear that Kay is recovering.

[JR]

Thanks .
Ken ... Very kind of you to say..
Andy....Hi mate ,got there in the end it seemed to have a life of it's own when the figures expanded in quantity. I'm really pleased with the outcome.
Thanks for the kind words about Kay. She's walking everyday for about 10 mins then sits or has a lie down .No bending.
Hope the house is progressing, are you back in yet ?
John

 

[Andy Belsey]

It was only declared 'dry' a couple of weeks ago, but the ceilings are nearly all back up now.
Glad to read that Kay is making progress and pray that that continues steadily.
