Wow, guys, what a contest that was. I know I'm not around much (as I get married THREE WEEKS TOMORROW :o I hope thats understandable!) but I've kept a very quiet, distant eye on proceedings and I am bowled over by sheer numbers and quality of final entries ! Sadly this year I was one of the...

late to the party again well done on your finish ! she's a big girl, few would have made it all the way through! let alone to that level of detail. Bravo!

It took me a second glance to tell it was paper! Shame you have pulled out, but I know your pain dude... just make sure you finish at some point :) it would be nice to see the full thing

:o man am I glad I pulled out of this year's contest !! I'm gonna need a winch to get my jaw up off the deck. Simply beautiful paintwork, the woodgrain is a work of art.

You're making me feel all warm and fuzzy ! so much styrene and extra detail ! I love this, and cannot wait to see all that detail "pop" into scale when you put the paint on 8)

very VERY nice work there 8)

I think this will be an absolutely stunning model when it all comes together. I really like your detailing work, it's looking fantastic so far.

;D these things happen. It is a shame, I like to compete in these great contests ... they're by far the most fun I've had in a competition before, but sadly circumstance, time and planning were not on my side. I was prepared to fail, so it's not such a bitter pill to swallow ! I have already...

thanks dude, but the building is okay whereas the base fell short of my expectation. Whilst it may look kind of "allright" to be honest it's not the kind of finish I was hoping for and sadly I just don't have time to rectify it. I am also very concious of the fact that I am actually rushing...

Thanks guys. While the building has come out okay so far, the cobbles I am very unhappy with. The problem with this diorama is, as the title of this thread states, I was not prepared. The idea in my head was rushed, and all implementation rushed subsequently. I have not relied on my...

not even close :( unless there's a category for "Ha! This loser didn't finish cos he was doing wedding stuff!" then I'm afraid I am not gonna be a contender this year ::)

Mmm dairy milk. but hey, at least the cork is very high in fibre !

thanks guys, glad the work is paying off another few hours tonight sees me at this point: still a lot of brickwork to do, not to mention finish building the M8, paint it, weather it, paint the whole diorama etc etc way off. Don't think I'm gonna finish this one to be honest...I'll give it...

Just when you think tedious glue and particle work is finished it's time to do a brick building !! ARGGGHHHH

WOOHOO! All of em done and glued. I've started scoring the slabs into the thin layer of plaster (that pencil grid is my guide) Big big step this. I spent a lot of time last night working on it and did most of it in one sitting so it didn't drag out and sap my motivation. Next up -...

thanks for all your comments and encouragement guys I reached about 70% completion with the lentils last night after spending a good couple of hours solid on it. I was quite pleased to find that my lines were true and accurate and lined through with the direction of the kerb stones! Not...

Hi :) I can't claim to have invented the lentil idea... I don't really know who did, but I heard it YEARS ago. So much so that despite the very long shelf-life of a bag of lentils these things went out of date in 2007... and they had years to go when I bought them. They've been hanging round...

hello, the lentils will get covered with filler to "Cement" them in. Is this what you mean by sealing them? or do you mean sealing them against moisture etc? cheers Jon

Hello guys thanks for all your words on this material, I have done a little update here Comment on "Diorama cobbles, kubelwagen, m8 greyhound and figure update." I am very busy with my wedding plans... it's just 3 months 16 days until the big event so as you can imagine it is tough to juggle...

haha thanks for saying that !! they are from various Hornet sets of shocked or anxious expressions!! so they at least look like they are supposed to ! I am glad they came out so you get some feel for their mood! Thanks for all the comments guys, Scott - the passion is certainly back... with a...
