[StartQuote] Hi Frank- Thank you for the reply to my post. I'll e-mail you this afternoon and get your address and send my pictures out to you. The story of the young boy at your museum brought a smile to my face as well. I'm starting to get my grandson Connor, who is five, interested in making models with me. He even helped with the building of my sick bay addition to my Tulagi diorama. Once I had the base carved from laminated sheets of stryofoam, I painted the whole thing with a base coat of light tan water based latex paint. I then coated it with a thick coat of white glue and added bird gravel sand mixture for the sand final base. Connor's job was to spread the sand on top of the wet glue. The look on his face was priceless! After the base was completed I even had Connor "plant" some hand crafted palm trees and lay some textured ground cover as well. I entered this section of diorama at a local hobby contest and took Best of Show for Dioramas and First Place for Military Vehicles. I guess you could say it was the "grand " prize because it was a winning combinaation of grandpa and grandson working together. Ain't nothing better than that! Thanks for sharing with us Frank and letting me do the same! Frank Ryczek, Jr. Modeler/ Friend RON 10 PT-169 HIGH TIDES ALWAYS! YOUR FRIEND THROUGH SCALE SHIP MODELING AND PT BOAT HISTORY![EndQuote]
