I did conclude the current round of work on the earliest diorama which was the first modelling I'd done for several decades and needed a bit of a change around so it all made more sense and provides an understandable time line from the immediate post war period through the 1950s'. I was generally pleased how it has gone but will have a break as it accumulates so much clutter and I'm almost drowning in it. I tried a few pictures but the depth of field required needs terribly slow speed so next time I'll get a tripod on the still camera and have a go. The zebra crossing which came into being about the same time as me was based on one in Edinburgh over redundant tracks , the non reflective plates are the real thing reduced rather a lot!
Transferring external drives to back ups is a very fraught process especially when we lost masses of data the middle of last year. So far so good but it takes the best part of a day at best and two days for larger multi Terabyte back ups which is the second part of the exercise. When this is concluded I will back up everything again so I have two copies here and another with OTA who may well copy one again. I find the super computer is rubbish at simple tasks like this, all the top notch processing ability seems to just get it all jammed up. So it is on with the Windows 7 machine, I'd use the XP but it would not recognise all the data types.

A lot more people added to the scene with Model U and 3D models which are scanned . A little over exposed but you get the idea as the buses pass in and out of the back drop into the end of WWII This one shows the recently constructed street market, it is certainly a busy scene but it needs to soak up a lot of vehicles to relieve shelf space elsewhere. The road through the 1945- 1950s period ends with the trams, again I've redone the road incorporating the rails which are at correct width for 4mm or P4 which is only possible because the are static.
