Ha ha! :lol: :lol: :lol:  Great job on the kit itself too, I like the snow weathering.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Blimey Charlie, calm down folks: it's only a bit of bicarb and PVA!  ;D Seriously, thanks for the comments: they're all much appreciated. :thumbsup:

Frank: Go for it! I'd love to see your take on the idea! Same goes for anyone else too.

Nev: Duly noted. I ummed and ahhed about whether to paint the tracks gunmetal or not, but time got the better of me and the silver plastic was good enough. Another admission: the white bits of the fingerpost post arn't painted either!  :o

Sorry, I still have no idea what you're on about....... :unsure:


You know how some projects feel as though they're striving to be real, almost without your intervention? Well check this out. Despite the mix of materials, there's only ONE place where some kind of peculiar reaction took place between PVA, DAS, enamel varnish and bicarb, turning it yellow, and where did it happen? On the back of the phone box, exactly where someone would take a leak on it in real life:



Spooky huh?  :blink: ;D ;D ;D

I direct the honorable gentleman's attention to the blue police box on the right side of the picture. When I wrote the post quoted above, this photo was removed from your post, I assumed you did that to confuse us. I see the photo's back again, perhaps a technical glitch ?

Outstanding in every way, Weaver! I love the guy coming out of the polar phone box just as the RAC shows up to fix the busted track!

This has gotta be my favorite diorama of the year!

Never as late as I always am! Brilliantly done Weaver, and it'll be pretty hard to beat this as 'Best Back Story of the Year' when the Whiffies come out!  ;D ;D ;D :thumbsup: :cheers:
