Excellent demo work, Richie, looking good!

Excellent furniture making! I agree with Simon, it is all the little details that really bring dioramas like this to life, so it's worth the effort IMO.

Hi Ski,
Thank you mate, I think your influence is rubbing off on me....I keep making and adding bits.

Hi Nigel,
Thank you, I made a couple of other bits and will add more today. I need to make some 1/35 scale books, so racking my brains as what to use.
cheers

Hi All,
I have decided to move the position of the bureau in front of the central Para as a barricade. I have also made a 2 seater sofa to prop up the floor section behinds the central Para's.
I think this looks better. I have made a bookcase that will be leaning over in the back corner to replace the bureau. Now to make an appropriate amount of scattered books!
cheers
Richie

Hi Richie or should that be Mr Ikea ( other furniture stores are avail )

I just echo the praise others have said ....really coming together , the sofa is a good touch ....perhaps a rip on cushions , weathered with dust ?

Figures looking good in place , very natural as well

Thanks for updates

Have fun with the books ( are dolls house ones too big ? )

Happy furnishings

Hi Nap,
Thank you, yes the cushions are now ripped and will be suitably dusty when painted. I've made 6 books, dolls house stuff tends to be 1/12 scale.
Cheers Richie

Hi All,
I have finished to the sofa, made it a 2 seater red leather and sited it. Also done the table, bureau and bookshelf. I have a load of timber undercoated, six books done and I have found a radio and phonograph that I will add to the scene.
I now need to concentrate on the last 5 Para's. I have to finish these before laying down anymore groundwork.
cheers
Richie

Loving those books and the gramophone. Those kind of things really enhance the realism of the scene. Great progress here.
