You certainly cut that one close to the wire Richard!

No signs of it in the finished product though. Best of luck at the show
Apologies for replying late Andy, and yes it was quite a close shave. I would have made finer adjustment had I had more time. Still I got me a gong.
Is there a completed thread?
I want to see pics of the entire thing
Sorry Neil, it's been week after week of club events and lunch dates with the winners. I did a sneak peek shoot while repairing a dislodged monkey though...

Like NeI’ll, I’m eager to see the final reveal shots. These teaser pics look amazing.

Oh man this is another level modelling, simply stunning
I'm drooling at the thought of it!

That is a terrific bit of work, something to be well proud of.

Andy.
Thank you guys, I have finally got time to photograph the finished dio after a hectic three weeks since the event. They're on the completed section here. Kindly pop over.

Cheers,

Hi guys, just read the Osprey Men-at-Arms titled Britain's Secret War The Indonesian Confrontation 1962-66 and came across a description about the Enfield Mk5 Jungle Rifle that describes the experience and why it was disliked.

Thought I'd share it with you.

Hi Guys, ever since making the fruit that the monkeys were throwing at the convoy, many people had asked me what they were and I told them it was a fictitious fruit but now I can safely say what it is. After a stroll walking Sebastian I chanced upon this...

...they're wild passion fruit and what a coincidence that the leaves look the same too. And then walking further down the neighborhood I found the motherload of moss in the right scale growing on two trees...

What a great discovery.
