New Dio w.i.p

[tommy1drop]

Hi All

Thought i would post a few pics of my new dio that i am currently working on...between getting the rays in my garden:hot:

The base board is a left over piece of marine ply from paneling my van, I have covered this with poly filla to act as a base for the ground work.

I have already constructed the Bastions 35 Russian hut, (really pleased with the way these look) and i have also started working on the out house, and water trough along with several other items (i.e) farm animals and a few figures and the Sdkfz 10 and nebelwerfer. I have a long way to go with this dio as i only started it on Monday, but i am looking forward to building it.

I will keep an update as the build progress`s and will try to top up the tan along the way, sorry for the way the pics turned out!

Love that hut. Is it a kit or scratch build?

Thanks guys, Ian it`s the Bastion 35 models Russian hut, theyre not bad kits, the instructions are a little basic though, other than that, not bad kits at all.

Cool just had a look at their web site. Some very interesting things there, I rather like the full hut they have.

A very interesting diorama on the way Tom!!

Is the water fountain of verlinden?? It's the same on my winter dio, that's nice!!!!

It will be a very nice farm and with many complements, one sees!!! I wish to see it finished!!

You will do a big tree on the back corner with a little "swing"!!?? I imagine the grandfather looking the german soldiers and the little girl playing on it... (sorry,I see so many films!!)

Cheers

Hi Guys

Just a small update on the Dio, I have carried out a little more work on the base for the Dio by adding clumps of grass and a few flowers dotted here and there, I have also positioned the out house and the water trough.

It is a work in process and is taking a little bit of time as i have 2 more builds under way at the moment, I am hoping to have more groundwork done by the weekend such as static grass and stones etc. I am working on a scratch built fence for the pig coral and the coral for the donkey, for this i am using twigs from a bush from my front garden, slow work, but hopefully will turn out nice, well that`s it for now, hope you like it so far.

Looking good Tom will watch this, Thinking of a large diorama myself ( starting next year after i collect all the parts/kits i need )

Tom, what a lovely idylic, pastoral scene you are doing......What a pity some lump of machinery is coming along to perhaps churn it up!

Looking good,

Ron

 

[Polux]

Slow, but it starts having form, really nice.

Keep up with the good work

Cheers. Polux

Now you've got the basis of the dio there, and the rest is already swilling around in your head i'm sure it'll just about fall together as time goes on.

I like the layout, simple but detailed ... looking forward to the next update Tom

Hi Guys thought I would post an update on where I have got up to, I have managed a little more on the base work and have added one or two more bits and bobs, but I am still a long way off from finishing it.

I have to start on the figures soon and do some more work on the hut, as well as a little more work on the base and some more animals etc, Its starting to take shape and you can see from the pics what it`s going to look like!

Nice one Tom....

This has all the makings of another great build from the Tom Stable....

Just one thing.....Has the old biddy eaten that big fat 'Porker'?

Cheers,
