I finished the fishing man, by carrying the fishing line backwards along the fishing pole and to the winding pulley. |
 |
| Here is a closeup of the fishing pole. The winding pulley is cut from a toothpick and painted. The lever is a drop-paint of chrome silver. |

| 19 February:
I did the pair of guys exercising some football. I cut off anything related with military and gave them civil clothes. All, including the ball, are fixed to the ground with a 0.30 mm wire going out from the bottom, with CA glue. |

|
 |
|
| I
made the rug, on which the plates
etc. will be located, by downloading a picture from somewhere
on
the web, processed it on the computer and printed on a single layer of
toilet paper. The rug easily took all the contours of the ground.
I made the plates by punching out styrene sheet and pressing with the hollow tip of a ball-point pen. |
 |
| 21 February:
I built the barbecue from the stones of our aquarium, by glueing with CA. The wood for fire is chips cut from a toothpick and glued together by CA too. |
 |
| 22 February:
I put the rest of the figures on the diorama that I had been doing until now. The rifle in the hand of this ex-soldier became a steel lever, he is looking for some remedy in the engine compartment. |
 |
| The only girl in the group is sitting on the jeep and looking to get a better vision about what's going on around the barbecue. This figure had her right hand missing, so I found such a solution that her wrist touched the roll-bar. I filled the gap with CA glue and painted the dried CA with tan, depicting that she had grabbed the bar. |
 |
| Two guys are near the barbecue, one holding the grill in his hands and the other preparing a lighter for the fire. |
 |
 |
|
| I manufactured a water bottle from clear sprue and painted the markings on it. |
 |
| A better view to see the fisherman and his fishing pole under tension. |
 |
| Now going to more general views of the diorama. Small accessories will be added later, as they are made.. |
