No, not stalking you. I just happen to watch the auction that you won, which I have every right to do as an ebay member.

anything over $40USD would probably be a high price to pay for risesoons =). they only cost about $25-$35, depending, in Taiwan where they are made.

hehe well different angles dont really work yet because this diorama isnt completed yet. give me another month or two. this diorama with the trees is supposed to be a fighter jet display.

but heres an overhead shot of that blurred out eva air one of what the left of the display looks like as of last week (its more complete now). i plan to cover the brown parts in the foreground with little rocks and a railroad is going to run through that. everything else thats green will be cover in trees and undergrowth.

again this is not a display for commerical jets. but i took the opportunity to take pics with them before they wont be able to fit between the trees anymore.

thanks! my terminal and evergreen hangar and evergreen cargo displays took maybe 3 weeks tops? this grassy nature fighter jet display is taking me longer because im new to all the landscaping materials and may take me 2-3months to complete. of course this is all on and off work and not a continuous 3 weeks or months

two votes for it? gosh, now i think i MUST do it!
commercial jet pictures on my latest diorama wont last long when i finish it since they are too big for the designed space once all the trees in! maybe ill leave a little peek hole through the forest just so i can take shots with a commercial jet in

ok one tropical on latest diorama coming up in a few hours after i get off work and go home.

oh, that latest diorama is for air force right? i wonder how that one will look! whoop! but, why so many trees (so that u can't even fit jets?) are you making air force base so those hangars are hidden between trees? cool idea!

yup the latest one is only for the airforce and maybe herpas c-130 when they release it. i wont be able to fit commercial jets but the figher jets will fit just fine. its my "top secret" airforce base so i want to cover it up with trees. hehe
