I am going to leave the tubs outside as is for now.After I finish the inside and set it up in the diorama ,I will add the finishing touches.The drawing is to check the scale of the pump in relation to the human hand and the edge of the tub.Next up will be the pump and its accessories using the small scale diorama as a guide.I wish I could credit the guys work but no one seems to know other than he probably is a RR guy doing stuff in 1/87 scale.

In looking at the pic above ,the surface looked to me that maybe it was too rough and the gesso spray just thrown on.I thought of re-doing it to look softer but when I put it in the diorama ,at scale distance, it really looks OK.Sometimes I find that you have to overdo it a bit for it to be visible to the naked eye at a distance .If this was to be a hand -held piece I would change it but considering the viewer will never get that close when the case is on,I think I will leave it as it is.Anyway it is easily changed.

Modeling Doldrums!
I seem to be in the modeling doldrums these days,so there is only one cure for that, go back to Jenny for awhile! I am quite confident now that I have all the necessary skills to finish the diorama (landscaping etc...) and it is getting late in the summer(here in the GWN) and I need "a shot in the arm "to get going again and Jenny needs to be completed and set in the diorama,so here goes........
