    G`day Folks,

    Well here we are and another week has gone. Time seems to be flying for me this year and it won`t be long, it seems, and Christmas will be upon us once again.!!!!

    But in the meantime we are here at Episode 33 and using natural materials for your scenery. This is nothing new for most of you, however regard it as a wake up call......a reminder as such, that you don`t always have to reach for the commercial products to create believable scenery. There`s nothing more convincing than the real thing. I was caught out by this very thing as I explain in the video.

    Nature can provide you with a good deal of your scenic bits and pieces however it does require that you look at things and imagine them as a scale rock face or tree or whatever. It just needs some observation and analytical thought and you`re away into nature`s modelling supplies. It also requires some effort to create these little masterpieces but the end result will be worth the effort.

    Anyway enjoy the video.....it`s a short one this week.....more of a news feature than a how to, and I`ve had to use the Outside Broadcast Division of Gormo` Eng. Dept. this time. This is a new division and we have to utilize them to justify their existence. I`ve noticed these guys a couple of times this week, sitting about on their desks drinking beer and eating pies and not doing much in particular.....typical !!!!....Sheeeshh!!!

    Hi Gormo,
    another great idea which everyone can benefit from simply by keeping their eyes open and thinking outside the box a bit.
    Most of us are usually within reasonable distance of some of our area's of natural environments so if we actually " look ", we'd probably find that we have a limitless supply of various materials that can suggest some kind of formation or another. A good idea to sterilise it though via the neuker first.
    I have a couple of bits of cork which looks great as a rock face but unfortunately ....... bought it. :facepalm:.... never mind the potential is certainly there for the future.
    cheers
