The Home Board

The hill portion of the addition is about 90% done. I have one more tree kit on order, and I'm waiting on some resin tint to add water to the pond.

Part of the problem was that I was out of room and in the current configuration of the hobby space, there wasn't anywhere to expand. oldhr1.jpg Before newhr3.jpg After considering various (expensive and involved) appro...

I hope you get it sorted out, Jim! I had ONE episode of that several months ago. Went from slightly dizzy to VERY dizzy to flat on my back on the floor wondering what the hell just happened all in about 10 seconds. The daughter of the friend I was visiting at the time happened to be there and is an ...

Nope, but it could pretty easily be my Dad!

Thanks. Here's a shot of it "planted" on the diorama.

My farm diorama is "finished" as far as major scenes go, mostly because I'm out of room. To satisfy my modeling jones, I add little details here and there as they occur to me. One thing you can always use more of is trees. smokearea.jpg Many are commercially available complete trees (or ki...
