Seriously John, it's Birch seed season. Look for the trees with the catkins. I intend to stock up this year.

Thats a cracking picture for a jigsaw!!

Steve it's a camo pattern .

Being Friday, I thought 453 had treated himself to a Sixty Nine from Won Hung Lo's - with very colourful rice!

570 as its Friday I'm off to cook chicken in batter, how many do pieces do you want ?

I'm beginning to wonder if it was a little imprudent to bring up the leaves in the first place....I'll get my coat!

No it wasn't Rick, we only have a couple in our area so your tips were great.

In the meantime I've finished the dio, with the exception of the lasted scatter.
so here you are.















I'm pleased with the outcome after all that trouble building these two kits, have to except that there will be problems from time to time.

Right hurl the abuse, I'm off to cook and find out that Tiger.
Thanks for those of you who have stayed the course.

John.

Sorry Peter, think posts crossed. Thinking about I've got some stashed away somewhere safe They are all brown and will probably fall apart.

Thanks buddy, nothing beats some mud, hides most of my sins Yes those seagrass plants make great trees. Another batch will be sowed next year.

Thank you Neil, very nice of you to say. Getting there with the figures, a lot of fun going through a box of arms and legs, which these days are all sorted into types. !
As for the mud it's just a matter of luck and PVA, might have to varnish it when it dries out fully.

 

[Si Benson]

A’noon Comrade,

blink, blink it’s done !! How do you do that?
Well I reckon despite the initial bother the kits gave you, you’ve done a cracking job with the ground work and pulled the whole thing together beautifully

That mud looks really sticky and squelchy....not the type you want to park yer tank in! Just as well Pavel and the boys are handy with a shovel. And then you have the excellent autumn vegetation ......I’m blown away!

Well done comrade, another scene well done indeed
