Well I’m putting in more practice on posting on my blog as I’m one of those old folk who need to do things a number of times before I become confident, one of the few disadvantages of growing up before the technical world became everyday use.
To those marvellous patient people that follow my blog, it does mean a lot to hear your encouragement and comments and I thank you. As you will know I’m working on the Swamp diorama, so this is a bit of an update to show that the foliage is done and I only need to paint up the figures, place them and then put in the water. I have used mostly bits of the palm trees and plants I used on the WWII dioramas. You keen eyed folk will notice straight away the only thing different is I painted them a less vibrant green, more suitable for a swamp.
We are all going through a pressing time at present so all I can say is I trust you all stay healthy.

The swamp is looking excellent Pat, the muted tones really give it a dark foreboding atmosphere.
Stay safe mate

Thanks Dave for me it was hard to do as I tend to like brighter greens , but the youngster still at home is very strict when it comes bright colours !

Love it! I’m looking into ways to build a few palm trees right now, funny how I see your trees and now am thinking buying and repainting might be easier! Can’t wait to see the finished diorama!
