On the front and back of the Lubester, I added a styrene disk with styrene letters (OIL).The diorama is a work in progress, needs weathering and more details.

It's been a long time since you built a diorama. This one is really shaping up nicely. -- Russ

Up to you usual stratospheric standards. -- Russ

Superb!

Thanks guys for your comments. I have added more detail to the diorama. I made two step-ladders, using ladders that I have in my old stuff collection for the patterns. One with three steps and one with four steps. The small tree still need painting. All the detail that are sitting on the ground are not glued and can be moved around or removed.

Lots of detail in those ladders!

What an enjoyable and superb backdrop for remarkable details. Satisfactory. -- Russ

Wonderful ladders.  Health and safety is going to gig you for having them on site.  Better hide them before the inspector shows up.

A great story about H&S is the one which denied a Midlands fire department from using ladders to decorate their firehouse for Christmas because they said the fire fighters could not prove they had attended a certified program teaching them how to use a ladder safely!
