Top stuff John. I was thinking "Rubble Meister", but will defer to Ricks' more descriptive title. PaulE

That's kind of you Paul.

"RubbleMeister" is good, I like that! Whichever one sticks to you JR is all right by me!

The Tiger looks really good on it's diorama, the building & the rubble are up to your usual high standards John.

The only problem I have w/'Rubble Rouser' is it immediately brings to my mind Rhonda Rousey's b----face. PaulE

Well I turned the heating off as I knew your fire raising update was on its way. You dont dissappoint as I'm feeling nicey warmed up now. Let me know if you do it again so I can send around the sausages and marshmellows on a stick.

Very impressive realism. Liking it a lot mate

 

[BattleshipBob]

Now with my new fire extinguisher info i could lend you one, looks like you need one (again)

Glad you were ready mate, I must admit after I'd lit those joists, ( they went up very quickly as I'd given them a liberal coating of meths ) as I was trying to get my camera on the phone the back of the foam board caught light ! That was exciting, would I loose the lot, but grabbed the water spray just in time ..

Yes Bob, I think I should get one,. Christine keeps one in the house for such occurrences.
Was great fun, and achieved the result I wanted .

Good morning fellow group builders and any one else bothering to look in.
Finished. Is it ok to post here, or should it be moved to completed ?














Thanks for the help and advice , comments, abuse etc, its been fun doing the dio esp .
John.
