Love those early AM shots dt - what time was it?

 

Also, are you planning on "rolling your own" birds?  Das, and some plasticard/wire... 

 

I'm guessing a 1:76 pidgeon should be a common off-the-shelf item, but at the prices OTS water tanks are going for, you'd want to win the lottery, I suppose.

It is all very well building a canopy, with leg's but..........they still do not stand vertical,nor in the correct postion's.

 

I do not want to glue the bottom's of the upright's, nor can I,fit pins to them.......

 

So, looking @ all of the upright supports' on the real DP,..........

 

Each one has a drainpipe,from  the leaded gully's on the canopy...........

I think it's a good omen that my first reaction on these most recent posts is to press "craftsmanship" instead of "like"!

 

Looking extremely good now, dt.

So glad to see you got thru the dark tunnel and have reached the sunlight again.

Beautiful work mate, real magic.
