Your first dio ever? Doesn't look like that. I don't know where to start, the wet mud, the concrete of the telephone mast, the figures, the scene, and of course the Greyhound - all well done! 👍

Thnx guys,
@Frank, the concrete mast is made from balsa wood. I measured the actual mast on the old battle field and try to replicate it... It is made from balsa wood, and then put white glue on it and poor fine white sand on to it. When it was dry solftley went over it with a sandpaper so it was less rough...
@ philip and Ole, thnx i'm happy with the results to 😄

Thanks, Kevin! One more I've got to try. I focused on model building so far, but always want to build a dio, too. You and Scalemates is giving me some nice ideas.
