Thanks Ian, much appreciated, back to the ZUlu dio for a break and then will be doing the Mini Art buildings and some scratch built ones for the First Encounter dio after that 👍
The whole frame looks great Glen in a hundred years time it will be on the antiques road show , and i bet every room in your house has a plaque on the door ! good work marra . Regards Gav.
Thanks Gav, I can imagine it being presented as a rare Halidonian artifact and so worth at least $5.00 😛 I have also put plaques on the kids as i was getting their names mixed up too often!!! Cheers
Thank you very much, very kind of you to say that, i am looking forward to getting all the buildings on there, it shold start to take shape once thats all happened 👍
I really enjoyed watching the video as always very entertaining. Its certainly taking shape will look forward to the next update. Steve said he cut that branch but he bullied me into not telling you 😂😂😂
Thanks Greg, getting there slowly, hopefully the pace picks up a bit now. I suspected that it was Motty, absolute giveaway, the cut loked like it was made with an exacto blade, and it wasnt square, typical Motty method 😝😝😝
@@GregReilly135ScaleModels All good over here mate, i am in 13th month of isolation and loving it, i was made for lockdown, mind you thats my choice, restrictions were lifted months ago, i just prefer it locked in the cave 😀😀
That looks fantastic - can't wait to see what else you do with it. Nameplate looks great - like a proper old bit of metal. And inches - I work in inches, or British as it's more commonly known.
Thankyou my friend, i was happy with the name plate too. I started life with inches, but then they changed to metric, i can do measurement conversions in my head,, but have no clue about the rest 😂
I thoroughly enjoyed that. Your method of making the cobblestones was particularly impressive. A slight refinement might be to use several different tools to get more variation in size & shape, perhaps? I like the idea of a hidden electronics drawer in the base, it's very neat & tidy and you never know when you might need to replace a component. I'm glad you escaped the falling branch- that could have been very nasty.
Thanks Ian, I agree there is more work to be dome on the cobble stone stamping, i have a few ideas so will tinker with them for future use, definately need more variation, im thinking a resin stamp that you can rotate and the edges will always match up with the last stamping no matter what direction it is in, needs more work for sure 😀 You are spot on with the wiring, i dont think i explained it very well, but moved from everything being hard wired to a very modulat set up for that very reason, plus with the clip in joiners you muct loose a bit of voltage along the way cos i had no further bulb burnouts once i did all that. Im scared to go outside now, between the snakes and the spiders and the drop bears, now trees are trying to kill me 😂😂😂
@@HalidonDioramas Doesn't all flora & fauna in Oz try to kill people? All ten of the world's most poisonous snakes live there, apparently, and then at the beach you've got stonefish, Portuguese men o' war, and of course, the box jellyfish. I'm glad I live on the opposite side of the globe! I now have all the components I need to add lights to things, but haven't decided what I'm going to put lights in yet. As well as your channel, I'm subscribed to SteamGeezer & Son, he's worth checking out if you haven't done so already, I've learned an awful lot from him and some of his ideas have inspired my own slightly different projects. And I've just realised that it's nearly 11pm here and your reply is from tomorrow!
@@ianthomson9363 Thats true, also dont forget the sharks and the crocks, they usually rack up a few each year. I watch SteamGeezer, i like what he does. Yes, i am from the future, i can telly ou that the world is still spinning arround and that politicians still cant organise a root in a brothel 😂
Ammos Brass is the best I've got I've got one from each company the AK 3rd gens are better for the brush on than any of the others so both have advantages ammos just needs a good shake it's got a BB in bottle definitely needs it but no problems with airbrushing with it
That was a great video - I really enjoyed it. This is shaping up to be a heck of a diorama! The whole electrics drawer/chimney/nameplate thing was fascinating - good job done there. Some fine woodworking skills too. Top content. 👏👏👏👍
Thanks Andrew, much appreciated mate, i enjoyed working it all out and am pretty happy with the finish, there are things i would do differently, but overall fairly satisfied 👍👍👍
Great cobbles and what a fantastic effect......looking forward to seeing the finished article 👍

The base and the name plate looks the bee's knees, Glen. Looking forward to the final reveal.
Thanks Mark, it's coming along, I was pretty happy with how the name plate turned out 👍
You can make watching paint drying interesting. I feel a home run coming with this diorama.
Thank you very much, very kind of you to say that, i am looking forward to getting all the buildings on there, it shold start to take shape once thats all happened 👍
@@HalidonDioramas I will be watching all the progress.

He is a little tinker. Hope your well and staying safe in this strange world we live in

Yep same for me never enjoyed myself as much
Always a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to the next instalment. Stu
Thanks Stuart, much appreciated mate 👍

Very very cool! I love the smoke effects! Subbed!
Thank you, and welcome aboard!

Interesting, Cheers :-)
Thank you! Cheers!
Can I suggest replacing the modern cross head screws with more period flat head screws, apart from that it's great,👍
Thanks Vince, do you mean the screws on the name plate? I cant think of any other places I used screws.
@@HalidonDioramas yes ,just think it would look a bit more period, love the info, keep up the good work 👍
What a nice gimmick. It's nice idea too.
Thank you 👍
