Darby Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 It doesn't take much to create an enjoyable and pleasing dio. Where do you get those Form-u lay's from. I may have to investigate these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Nice little dio/vignette. Couple of things... what are the small pale sandy-coloured patches of undergrowth made from? Secondly, that aerial is way too thick. If I remember correctly from when I built this kit some 35yrs ago, it suggests you make the aerial from stretched sprue. If you have tried unsuccessfully to stretch sprue, or find it too fragile for your liking, (As I do) a bristle from a toothbrush would be a good replacement.

Rearguards, Badder The patches of undergrowth is rough grass from Woodland Scenics, in regards to the ariel/anttana I have looked through some pictures and found they came in various sizes ranging from 1.5-2meters in height and various diameter too., not only where they put on top of the radio the could be put onto the ground, all I have done is use what I call artistic license emu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
