    I've only just found your CZcams channel, and am enjoying the building scenics, as this is an area I know I am weak in. Electrics, wiring and interlocking, no problem, but scenery, I haven't got a clue. I've learnt so much already from these first two videos, so looking forward to catching up with the rest of the series.

    OMG again you made a wonderful video of a spectacular diorama. I wonder, are you more a modeler or a photographer. Either way they are both fantastic. When you photograph them I swear they look like a real shot. I will admit that I am right there with you on photos. My goal in life when younger was to be a photo journalist but life took hold and that was that. I do however have a bit of training in wielding a camera around. LOL Have a great day and week.

      @@DartsideScenics i subscribed. Yes, with the English Channel in the background would be great! Have you ever tought about a Diorama with a smal lake or a river freezed? Ice? That would be no match for you i am sure. I asume you have got a large room where you store all you fnished diorama works. I have other lots of ideas! Trajan's Bridge, was possibly one of the longest bridge in the roman empire. If not the longest bridge. Caesar's bridges across the Rhine, made just out of wood. Or aqueducts like Pont du Gard. Aqueduct of Segovia. Aqueduct of Valens and Aqua Alexandrina. And something special, a ruined medieval bridge which is today jus tin half, the Pont Saint-Bénézet.
