great to see your in backbreaker, this is our first dio comp so there's lots to learn in all our build logs,both me and Alex are going for snow winter ones which neither of us have a clue about so it should be fun Laughing

just dont forget your build log mate.

Having seen what the guys are upto with there competition build logs i am sooooooooo worried i need to cram 25 years experience in to a 24hr period to get to there level Mad

But hell am i doing some learning from you guys so thanks. Very Happy

Its all about learning Alex! Most of what I know came from someone else, you just have to have a go at it, if it doesnt turn out how you want than try again. Before you know it you will get it!

What I have learned is not to rush things, if you go to fast you will get stuck. I constantley try new ideas even if they are not for anything. One example of this would be the icicle technique you found, I forgot I had that in my file, pulled it back out and gave it a try. It didnt work out all that well the first go, but the second and third one were better.

Keep your chin up, and start thinking and sketching ideas, the rest will follow.... Smile

Hi Guys.

Okay Im in and will try and finish it on time this time round.

Too many ideas floating round at present.

I have recently been looking at some Diorama accessories for a new range of wargames scenery I want to do, However most of these are Roman and Celtic in origin so a wee bit too early, But I have some stuff I have been asked to do for WWII as well so will look at that as well.
Cheers

great to see you back and getting straight back on the horse with a comp entry sapper,you got 5 months for this one mate plenty of time Very Happy

.

LOL Yeah right enought time maybe for everyone else.

I may actually do the dio in 15mm as I have been asked to do some Wargames buildings in this scale. The buildings could be used for the masters. Hmm As I said loads of Ideas.

Just have to find some interesting photos of German Buildings. Then Draw them, make paper templates, then the masters Cast them and build the Dio, Hmm Five Months Maybe.

Cheers

Ian

books who mentioned Books Aaaargh, Damn it thats me of on a tangent again LOL.

I am considering doing some German Buildings. Hopefully timber framed. Hang on did I not do one in 1/72nd scale, Hmm No Need for research just remake the building in the smaller scale. I like this idea, saves time looking in the books and should be pretty easy to make. I think I am getting a idea formed now. LOL

I will start a log on how I go about making a hash and mess of this one.

LOL

Cheers

For all you guys taking part in the dio war competition here's a bar to add to your profile.Simply down load it stick it in your photo bucket account ect and stick the code in you sig box on your profile.

I took the liberty of adding one to BB's and inscale's sig box to make sure it worked ok.And as you start your comp build logs i'll one to yours if you get stuck with adding it.
