STILL WORKING ON THE LAST SECTION OF MY DIORAMAS

A very wet day and another chance to get work done on the last section of my dioramas although at some stage I'll tinker with some bits I'm less pleased with. I'm going to leave painting the figures as this can be done with little mess. It is best getting all the cutting of card done while there are no films being scanned. I never seem to be able to get on top of things these days, the number of to do jobs is always beyond my capacity to make time and still relax sometimes. I received the electricity pylons and mobile phone mast, they are really superb, best value items I've ever got for modelling.

The pylons with stride across the 1960's scene. I've swapped about a bit in my ideas but you have to be flexible. I made my last structure the model scenery kits which you download. I've shifted my transport cafe to the foreground and the old workshop to the back and there will probably be a sort of scrap yard come small holding which can soak up some of the many cars that I have plus some great variety of oddities that I shelled out for, I'm now a lot more frugal in my purchases and preference for buses of character.

I have had a look at the weather it could be ok to risk just a trip to Lymm for trucks as it could do anything. The delays with Mandy car which is sitting at the showroom at Ellesmere Port for weeks. Hopefully Mandy will get it ready for travelling to Ireland next Sunday. I'm heading south to see my pal John Bishop, then some filming and a week Thursday visit Peter Waller of OTA to have our usual social come film collection ready for scanning. What can I offer well they had some nice shots of Cuba in Classic Bus so why not head there.
