DIORAMA PROGRESS AND MORE FOR YOUTUBE

Safety barriers and side rails on elevated road through docks is now almost complete and I'm working on the short perspective road to link to back drop, basically it is done just the trimmings to add and then I can put in the security gates on the distribution centre and the dock scene. I am going to leave the last third which is a 1960/70s scene with dual carriageway and greasy spoon truck stop until next Christmas. I haven't populated them yet but that is a small job just very intricate painting on the 3d modelled people. Alas I had added detail down to drainage grids on the elevated road surface but viewing it would be very difficult but I know it is there.

Lots more clips from our 2011 trip to San Francisco and Cuba went on and are scheduled to come through over new Year, I'm loading more tonight and yet more scheduled for next week. Really the 2011 visit was just a warm up to the 2016 extensive trip around most major cities.

I will be starting the next archive soon, independent bus operators on Merseyside through to MT era. Then it will be the latter days of the deregulation and maroon livery to early 90's. The software AI Topaz is still working on the app to treat our old video , despite this they still send out circulars that they can treat ' all video clips', in UK that would be foul of trades descriptions, typical America though, I really detest everything about them, their companies only have one setting, nuclear, the threat to every little tweak they make  if you don't use it or understand it. Labyrinthine instructions and rules that nobody would understand even if they read them, no such thing as plain English in America. I have now stopped purchasing anything on EBay, I dislike them as much as EBay. We do have the remnants of our shop still live but why would anyone use it when we have everything from digital downloads, DVDs and prints via one location.

A few more Cuba photos tonight, ties in with Youtube.
