[steve k]

well true mate, but the novelty soon wore off after same pple got easters and xmas off, and same pple got to work easter and xmas etc!! one sided coin
Not fair really but what can you do?

[ALITALIA_747]

Yeah true! So what are you going to be doing for easter?

[steve k]

quiet one, photo shoot model trucks and diggers, sat/sunday nothing planned at this stage.
Might get a visitor or two? Design a diorama for trucks most likely will happen
play it by ear i think, see what happens i guess

[ALITALIA_747]

Sounds good Steve. Why dont you make another airport? Or have you lost interest in that now?

[steve k]

not lost interest, just having a break from airports, and trying out a few dioramas so can show my trucks n stuff in a realistic pose. cost is minimal and creativity is much greater i think, can depict a few different scenarios using off cuts and general waste, and come up with something quite believable at glue/paint cost only.
just got to find all the bits n pieces needed to make it happen now.
thats the fun part, locating and using rubbish to help make a scene come alive!!

[ALITALIA_747]

Sounds like you are in for alot of fun Steve. Make sure you post some photos, when the next masterpiece is complete.

[steve k]

cant guarantee a masterpiece, just a reasonable backgroud that hopefully will look realistic. next dioramas will be much bigger, metre square, bigger if possible
reason being is photography is much easier on a big display, more angles, can zoom in/out as needed, so bigger is best

[ALITALIA_747]

Yeah, i agree! Thats why i would love a larger airport taxiway set up. Photos are alot easier to take.

[steve k]

was the major prob i had, getting angles right without seeing other background stuff in the way. will take a new approach to the way i get photos done next time around. photo shop would be handy to have and know how to use it would be great

John, if you send me your email addy via PM, i'll try and send you the file for the 'Holding Point' mat that i use. You will have to get it printed out on a Mapping Printer though, it's approx 1m square.

[ALITALIA_747]

Hey Martin, that would be great. I will send you a PM now.
