Evening Mr Smith, I say looking very smart. Your figures are really good by the way, love the shading on them. Tank looks the Dogs, I can see the Dogs Award Committee having an easy time when you submit this with its base.

Steady Mr.R..... You`ll make me blush!!,(But,Thank you!!),
As for the Award...... I can only dream of attaining the standard that is required to receive,what is,let`s face it....... the Nobel prize of modelling!

Weeell, lets both do it! More than one Sheridan and more than one Buddha in country! OOrah!

You know,SOMETIMES it`s as if things are "Meant to be",Yesterday Rach and i went shopping at our local ASDA,as we walked in the first thing we were confronted with was a Garden ornament sale display.Lo and behold,staring me in the face for the Princely sum of £2 was this........

This chap is 52mm high,so with a scaple and a bit of good old "Das Clay" i`ll have me Buddah Statue sorted.......and coupled with this....

You may well be on with the "Duo Dio" idea mate,as you so succinctly put it.......... OOrah!!!

...... and now a brief update on the base,first up,some "Scatter".......

Then some oasis and plants,(Some of which are still in primer,others in a base coat of various Greens).......

...... and the rest of the foliage shoved on,with some floor growth........

Done a bit more since,but no pics as yet.The last 2 figures thus......


That`s it so far,i`m gonna crack on today,so should have some nice progress on the base to report.
OK then..... Do your worst!!

Andy In the first photo of the scatter I thought you had taken to breeding ants, was expecting this was in the wrong section !
When delving further down the page I find the base, wow looking good, nice placement of the road/ track .Certainly like the vegetation, Id say spot on.
Carry on please.

Hey Pete.......
George is a name that seems to be synonymous with out dated clothing and Sad individuals who cling to an ancient past!!

Evening Mr Smifff,
Cracking job on that ground work….looks smashing mate

 

[The Smythe Meister]

OK then Guys,the last update here....
......the last 2 figures are done as far as i can,tried to do some cabling etc......




.... as you can see,i`m no figure painter!!..... HOWEVER,they can get "lost" for detail in a Dio....as you will see soon!!,
That`s this one done now,as far as i`m concerned.... i`ll post up some pics of the overall dio soon,
Cheers for now,
Andy

Andy,
Sorry mate very late to this. The tank and figures look top notch and the ground work looks good. I will just nip over to the completed section and have a look. Nicely done.

Hi Andy
Cracking figures, work really well. The tank is superb. I'll enjoy the completed dio photos.
