The left hand side of the diorama is sparse. It needs some attraction to balance the whole.

Decided to add some drama on the bridge. Approaching the traffic lights is a police car (highway patrol). It broke down on the bridge. There will be a tall policeman, behind the car, halting approaching traffic. The blue beacon will flash during the same time the traffic lights (amber) flashes (for about 15 seconds).



Somewhere along the riverbank will be this angler, seemly to have caught a fish (or a snag).



Had lots of fun playing Dr Frankenstein with these plastic figurines.

Just found the project but will be watching from now on.

Love what you have come up with.

I am another who doesn't do well with Electricity (and I now work for the Power Company) but have some sci-fi projects that I may make the attempt on.

Love the "coppers" pushing the patrol car  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thank you Phil for compliment.
My first so-called sci-fi project, at the time is seemed sci-fi, was to build a Tesla coil. Ended up building nine of them. All sizes and configurations.

To add more to the left side, an other boat will be added behind the bridge (top left side).
This one will be made from the left over pieces from the previous two kits. That is, a boat made from two stern sections.

This diorama will replace another one in the museum. It is an educational diorama showing the various buoys and navigational signages to be seen on the river. It was built by Clem and assisted by Peter, two museum members (now passed away). This new boat will be a buoy tender named CLEM-PETER.




A comparison.

An 'interesting' way of making a waterline model!  :o

That looks like it worked out very well.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

The Buoy Tender needs to pick up an old unserviceable buoy that broke loose and drifted upstream. It was found aground near the Wardell Bridge.

A buoy?  Or a robot cuttlefish?
;D
