1/72(20mm) Dio build

This is a WWII German BMW R12 Motorcycle and sidecar kit from ZVEZDA 6142. I've applied weathering effects and Brake cables to the motorcycle, still need to add a saddle bag at the rear then I can make a start on the side car. One photo show the Motorcycle resting up against a 20mm 200mm Bocage Hedgerow

gate section for comparison.

How to apply a Hedgerow tree to your Hedgerow

Rather then me explain how to apply your trees just follow the photos you can't go wrong unless you stab yourself with the pin tool or cut your finger off with the snips, always remember safety first, if you think your not able to do it then get an adult to do it or if your the adult then get your wife/girlfriend or partner to do it and if your still not sure then don't hesitate to drop me a pm or email an I'll explain how to do it have fun.

ADMIN AS OF 07/05/17

WEB SITE - www.magolansmodelworkshop.co.uk ( not active yet)

Thanks for looking. Just to recap still haven't sorted out my web site still working on it. I need to build three Dios for it based on a WWII theme (Bocage of course - farmstead is the theme) but in all three scales 15/20 & 28mm. I will be adding a figure painting service just to gaming standard in all scales, MDF lasser Kit Bashing/upgrade/painting service and a Hand-Thatching service.

BOCAGE HEDGEROW RANGES

I'll be adding a second type of Bocage hedgerows, not sure how well it will sit with 15mm, but that's not for me to say, if you have that type of terrain then it will fit in nicely.

Next on the list is my old Bocage Lane Range, of course I will supply both types of terrain and I''m starting new design of road sections, have been working on this for a while to be honest this has been around well before I was born back in 66 this is just my method. I do need to get this play tested. As for the old Bocage Range it will be still there for these that have it, but I won't be adding to it unless requested.

Then to follow is my Causeway Range, Trackside Range, Defence Range and Urban & Rural Range will cover from Normandy to the far East, which I've already started with the 15mm Bocage farmstead resin buildings.

So I've lots to do just need to find the time to do it, my shift pattern as change at work so I'm now down to two days off oh well never mind.

Regards
Phil

All my resin kit buildings no matter what scale all follow the same process, below you will see a step by step photos of how I put my 15mm Resin Farmhouse with shed kit together.

The glue system I use for all resin kits is Mitre Fast, two part; Super glue and activator

If you look at the top right corner where the gutter meets the gable an air bubble in the casting process as appeared what you have to do is scrape off back to the stone work take the plastic rod offer to the gutter mark off with a tech pencil and cut the required length, add a drop of super glue and place the rod (gutter) in place as seen in photo 7

Photo 7

Add mortar like two part epoxy putty around the base of the chimney stacks

If you find that the roof fits too tightly then shave back the gable till you are satisfied, the idea is when you turn the house upside down the roof should stay on.
