"REST DAY" FOR GARDEN OF MORR

Not much done today.  I usually work on my models whilst my wife is away at work.  However today was one of my Gym days and wifey comes with me so, as I dont like leaving her alone whilst I am in my Den, it was a Rest Day.  I did manage to build and paint a base coat on the mausoleums and  gave them a black wash but nothing else.  I did that between 6am and going to the Gym at 8am.

I have decided to treat the tombs that form the base of the mausoleums as separate from them.  That way I can make the diorama quite a bit bigger and I will probably link the present railings with sections of scratch built stone walls so that they will stretch around the enlargement.

There will therefore be the statue and plinth, 3 mausoleums, 3 tombs and the combined railings and scratch walls.

I played a bit more with Anno 2070 and, despite the forums still being down, I now feel as though I am "getting it".  In fact a light bulb suddenly turned on and I can  see the light at the end of the tunnel.


I am hoping that the forum, when/if it appears next week, will host a decent Tree of Technology - that would help a lot.

TIME OFF

Took some time off to have a go at the PC game Anno 2070.  I like it as it gets quite deep gradually without being impossible to play.
Unfortunately the official forums are down for the moment and wont be back up until after the 9th January.  They are also German forums apparently but I can understand written German quite well due to having being stationed 3 years in Munster, Westfahlen, in the early '70s.
Having Fun! with Anno 2070 anyway - it eats time.....!
