That's not looking bad at all mate.More 'planning' - not yet attached, but trying out ideas

Thinking that the smoke is a bit 2D?

Thanks.hi Gerry
You're really going to town with this and what a cracking job you're doing. Tarp look great with the attached rope. Fire is very well done - not easy.

That's another idea for a bit of deadwood! Will work in a 'stump' somehowMakes sense to me.........or could have been a dead limb which could easily have been snapped off for fire wood. Rick H.
Thanks Scottie, reckon that when the water is done in the pool, I'll have to carefully apply a small blob of CA to hold the smoke at the fire end, as at the moment the slightest air movement takes it away from the fire (only held by a couple of fibres against the flame at the moment) can't use hairspray, as it blows it off .Gerry,
All coming together very nicely mate, the smoke looks very convincing.
Thanks Tim, probably if I were to put my mind to it, I could do better, possibly by using different parts of the yoghurt pot for all of the pots and bucket, and using smaller wire, rather than the paper clip (or even using stretched sprue), but still learning! Might have another go at them during the week.Nice work. Detail like this always adds to the build.
Thanks Scottie, yes, happy with it for a second attempt at a dio, (probably a more experienced modeller would have done a far better job), I've learnt a lot doing it as I tried some new things and had fun doing them (even the ones that ended up in the bin!) some bits had me wondering what the heck I was doingGerry,
You should be very happy with that it is a cracking result. really like the guy collecting water.
I like him a lot as wellYou should be very happy with that it is a cracking result. really like the guy collecting water.
Very true. That's how we learn and it keeps the hobby fresh.Not being afraid to try new stuff is the way to go.
Must admit that I've looked closer at the water, and spotted a couple of things that can be improved, but not without pulling bits off, so will leave it and mark for future reference!All very nice...tarp, smoke, buckets, the guy precariously trying to get water and the wet look Gerry. Not being afraid to try new stuff is the way to go...eventually it will be done right.
Cheers,
Richard
Thanks Jim - don't think that many people have noticed that the guy getting the water is left-handed - no right arms that I could work with. Hope that the photos are ok (can take closer ones to 'fill out' details)Hi Gerry
Great work all round
I like him a lot as well
Very true. That's how we learn and it keeps the hobby fresh.
I would be very proud of what you have achieved. Look forward to some nice photos of the completed dio.
Jim
Thanks Rick, think that I enjoyed the build more than making the kits - more practice needed on figures though.That is a very nice result Gerry.........as the others have said it all comes together with practice. you should be well pleased with what you have accomplished in just a short time.
