Happy to drive a van if we need to use one to get everything there! Looking superb.

It will need to be a very big van.

[zak]

Maybe two vans...................

Watch office without tower, used at dispersal sites.

[zak]

Well I did ask Neil if he wanted anymore models.
He mentioned dispersal pens.
So I did some research and came up with this.
This will be an E type pen for fighter aircraft.
This one at Kenley seemed appropriate.

[zak]

So, luckily I had a stock of unwanted corrugated card and started with that as a basis for the embankments.
I stuck the card together and added a layer of brown gummed parcel tape.

[zak]

The structures were then given a coating of Polycell textured paint for ceilings.
The end of the walls are brick and these are brick embossed plastic card, really for O gauge railways (7mm = 1 ft. (1/43)). this was painted and the mortar courses added.

I make my own grass from sieved and coloured sawdust rather than buying it.
The whole lot will be grassed,
The concrete areas were scored in 10 ft. squares and painted a sort of concrete colour.

When do you move into 1:1 scale  - now that would need a very large van - hohoho

[zak]

Ha, ha, its getting out of hand as it is.
Grassing.

Hi Zak,
Another creation from Goblin Enterprise's. Is there no limit to your skill and knowledge...?
It looks like Neil is going to have A LOT to be grateful for with all the items you have created and built.
Excellent stuff, and build. Lots of 'how to do it' also, which I find very useful and inspiring.
Can you show how to create 'Time' please, its the only thing I'm lacking at the moment.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Yes, the faster you go the longer it gets, Time dilation principle.
