Don't worry alec and thanks for the comments, I do know what you mean (I think :big_grin: ). One of the strange things that, despite my best efforts, the photos just don't seem to convey is how 'busy' the overall dio looks when you see it for real...

You'll be handy for the annual model show at Temple Park :big_grin:

It might be a bit of a hike for you but there is a dedicated model shop (probably the only one left in the area) called Model Active just outside Chester-le-Street on the road to Durham: http://www.modelactive.co.uk/

It's where i now get all my stuff (with the exception of PE) from.

Temple Park eh....I'm 1 1/2 mile away, when is that scheduled?

Cheers for the link but just my luck, no 1/700 IJN or Tamiya acrylics in the TS range...unless they can order them in.

I haven't had to do it but, in the past, when I've been looking for some of the Trumpeter 1/350th scale stuff, they said they could order it if need be.

The info is much appreciated...I'll certainly visit TP in May Image

Dude! You rock at this! If Kym Knight had a portion of a dockyard missing, YOUR diorama would blend right in! :thumbs_up_1:

I've just been taking some pics of this to send to Sean for the gallery and, as Alec liked, the 'old photo' effect, here's a few more:

Time to move on to the next dio which, again will be a dockside scene but a good deal larger...
