Rob..

Did you adhere the groundwork or was it placed over the dio to be used again?

Mitch, I spent about half an hour sweeping it all up again! I took all the timbers out, swept up the H&A rubble and then the same with my ' real' rubble bagged it and tagged all it for use again. So expect more rubble dio's at some point in the future!!^&grin

I like it...Very unique theme.

Thank you Alex, much appreciated.

Rob..

Cheers for the info look forward to more rubble dio's. I only ask as I adhere all of mine. I don't know if the area you live has old brick walls in need of repair like my village as I am always picking up little bits of red brick when out walking in the village.

another good one for simulating leaves in dio's are the seeds from silver birch once they are taken from their covers the seeds inside are great for autumnal ground cover. plenty for free when you are walking around

Rob,

Catching up a few threads and I came across this gem. You have a real knack for dio work. Several standouts come to mind, the crashed BF109, the burnt out Panther, landing craft etc.

Keep up the good work!

Very nice work here. I showed people here at work & they were blown away...no pun

I'm confused wrt one part of the story. I see that there are two different bombs. Is he taking apart one bomb, thus revealing the second bomb, or are there two different bombs in the hole?

Thats very kind of you indeed and much appreciated.:smile2:

The two different bombs came about because I made one especially for the dio as the splendid K&C version has bricks on the base that I did not think would be present in the excavation I made. The one I made up just kind of sits in the mud as it were, but couldn't resist seeing what the K&C version looked like in the hole too!.

Thanks again

Rob

 

[Blowtorch]

homemade bomb? that's some talent. very nice again{bravo}}

Apologies if I gave the wrong impression, I purchased a bomb kit, assembled and painted it. Thanks again:smile2:

For a minute I thought you were trying to upstage Mitch's sculpting of those parkas a few months ago!

Rob, your welcome and funny enough I have just found this post while searching for a diorama with the new RAF fuel tanker in it, surely some RAF collector has done a dio with it, where did you hide it ^&confuse

 

[Poppo]

Great dio and great photos! I like the landscape, the muddy underground....You can breath the atmosphere {bravo}}
