Terrific stuff John - the garden and the dio!
Danny........ Thanks for your comment. Not finished yet, the roof frame to do, corrugared sheets to make. Once those have been made they will be treated to give a rust effect,then fitted. Still thinking of how much damage to do to the roof on the right hand side above the timber repairs.This is where Ibwould like to have a removable tarp to show the internals. I will showVery nice work John congratulations! Is it a completed piece or still work need to be done? Either way i love it ! The position of the figures the came off track and all the little accessories makes a great scene! Most of your pictures from above! Could you make one from the front so we see through the doors ? You have one but a closer one please ehehe Best regards Danny
Thanks my friend, glad your enjoying the build.Hi John
Really looking good. Like Dan I am impressed with all the details which add a lot to the overall Dio

Peter.........Pity you couldn't come and help, know how you love gardening .Terrific stuff John - the garden and the dio!
Dude 1 ......Thank you kind sir. No fish and chips sorry to say.Damn Dude 2,
You really hammered it this time buddy, A shame you had to leave out a few pieces, but what you have left is totally fantubious. You really have a knack for this. The building looks fine, the Sturmi great and the figs tie it all together. What more could a man want. But the absolute best is that the fish are happy and have a new liner in the pond!!! The downside is no Fish and Chips party at Race Towers this weekend...….

Thanks Paul........ I have enjoyed this dio and build, been more of a challenge, esp with the camp. The roof is time consuming, but so satisfying when it comes together.John,
That is a cracking build love the roof truss.
John,
Great progress! Both building and pond...carp, koi or?
Thanks Rick...... One 35 plus year old Ghost Koi, had him from a neighbour when she saw 2 that we had. They unfortunately died in the heat one summer, the others are a mix of fantail goldfish, plain goldfish, and a mismatch of Koi Goldfish cross. About 40 in total ! Oh and 4 frogs. I will post a few photos of the pond/fish.
Thanks Pete...... Hope your still with us to read this !Hi John, I've been lurking in background watching this come together and you do not disappoint, I must say what a top job you are doing.
Pete.
Cheers friend..... Just the roof frame , then the corrugated, oh and the lights .Stunning work Mr Race!!You must be very pleased with the way it has turned out. All the attention to detail has paid off well. You must be nearly there now mate
Very kind of you Lee. Don't be too long.John I’m with Steve outstanding!! I think it’s your best one yet! Don’t worry I’m coming back soon
Thanks Wouter, ...... Nice to see you around again.wow John, what a project again! Love this scene and the hangar in particular. Great work and attention to detail here!
Cheers
Welcome Steven..... And thank you for those kind words.Second that nice progress, hanger looks good.
Kind regards,
Not much to report, rather knackered my self recently, what with the new lawn, which has germinated, and the pond linner it has left me feeling rather tired. Realising I'm not in my 40s anymore !!
The roofing structure is time consuming, 1 and abit done out of 4. Looking fwd to making the corrugated roofing sheets, esp treating them with some Ferric Chloride . Full HSE to be followed using this !
Then the tarp to cover the missing roofing , oh and the lighting. The latter still under investigation regarding the bulb in output and physical size.
Simon will be pleased, a mass breakout of Pewter has occurred.......
Thanks again ,
John .
Hi Rick...... I've pm'd you some photos.Wow,quite a collection! Looking forward to seeing that.
Cheers,
Rick H.
Good job too !Hi John your stuck with me I'm afraid.
Pete.
Of course Si...... Thought it was lighter, had one lamp inside pointing down and three out side, thought rude words when I saw how they had come out.. Oh well will try harder glad you liked it.Looking splendid John and the dark-ish pictures add atmosphere....obviously as you intended
Thanks Paul....... Just hope the lights I get will convey the idea.John,
Top work my friend I can smell the oil and here the ring of the tools.
Pete.......Glad you like it as well , no good trying to bluff my way out with that's how I wanted it far too dark, but you get the idea.Hi John great work, love all the little details there everywhere, I'm like Si I like the intent lighting it adds to the overall look.
Pete.
