It is photographic-real, and now this close-up of the counterweight, beautiful, beautiful!

Im glad you like it Wink- i never mentioned the missing nut on the bottom weight- if you are wondering- its done on purpose.  ;-)


The barrier installed- some grass around the base of the barrier required still.

Im glad you enjoy it guys! ;D

Heres small update for ya- the cycle, which will be parked on the right sie of the sentry box.
Tamiya cycle with Lion Roar PE set- a beautiful PE set, but very difficult to put together.



Still not finished, but i needed the break. Filling the rims with the spokes is some job.

Hi Siara,

This dio is awesome - love the bike! The wooden posts look photo realistic and the sentry box is weathered really well. I'm thinking this dio is as good as anything we've seen to date - even as good as the U 552 model.

Cheers,

Dougie

WOE! can you post a closeup of that chain? It looks pretty 3D and not flat, intrigues me!

Wink- that is a close up- normally it looks like so:


Chain is soldered from two elements- thats why it looks 3D:

Thanks guys! ;D

Bike painted.
I need to weather it a little more, and dust the tyres a bit.
