Elliott is correct. Either 'Read More' or just click on the title of the post you are interested in. I'm not sure why Monica and her hubby stopped posting. They really did a lot of buildings in a short while

I've wondered why as well. Always looked forward to a new release from them.

Thanks for the tips. Maybe I'll buy the very short term download. There are several buildings and some other items that I think will fit well.

On free mode, I think you can do a download every eight hours or so

I think it's based on the amount of data you download. The bigger the file the longer you have to wait until the next free download. The longest I've ever had to wait was about 40 to 50 minutes between free downloads. Of course I'm cheap and retired so I had plenty of time on my hands.

I have been on other projects, so I have not accomplished much more than a couple of trees. By Monday, I should have the base laid out and will post photos. I have also been collecting materials/kits for the next diorama. I'll get into the verbal description a little later.

Well, I had to go back to the drawing board for the base for my diorama. I was planning on using foam for the base, but after gluing up a portion of it, I did not like the result. So now I am in the process of making an egg crate style base out of cardboard for the house base and a single thickness cardboard sheet for the water part. The photo shows the start of the cottage base.

Sorry your original idea for the foam base didn't work out.That's the way it goes sometimes, two steps forward, one step back. I do think your egg crate base has promise. Keep us posted.

Back on track with the Tri Sigma diorama. Here is the final configuration for the cottage base structure. the curved part on the front of the egg crate structure will be the seawall. The dock will be placed in front of, and close to, the seawall. The yacht will be placed in front of the dock (extreme foreground). More later.
