Making a layout #33 On the beach

It's definately difficult to put each and every small figure in the layout, I try to put some in an acrylic board then put it in the layout.
This below is an amazing figure set, a boy escapes holding a bra in his hand and some women chase him up. One woman who is supposed her bra stolen doesn't hide her breasts lol....

When you glue figures, what you want to glue is usually a lot small than you expect, adittionally a lot often where you want to put some glue are not always flat. So figures usually fall down slowly even after you press them enough :( You need to put something next to each and every figure for a while until the adhesive gets dried enough.

Put the figure set beside the lake.

It's a rubber adhesive I use to glue figures and the acrylic board. I need to wait for 15-20 minutes after I put some adhesive at which I want to glue. The need to press both figures and the acrylic board. I still don't understand the difference from the normal adhesive.

They have grown from spreaded seeds.

Terrine with vegitable geratine II

Trying to find some best combination among fruits, herbs for a terrine.

Lemonbarm at the top together with some fruits combination. Coated by vegitable geratine.

Ice cream attached.


Another one, spare mints at the top together with some different fruits combination. Also coated by vegitable geratine. I am to have some trial and error when I create something new to build up a complete one :-)

NS commutor train II

The NS ( Holland National Railway ) all double decked commutor train. The bulk body shape looks really nice.


Going a 2.7% uphill with no problem as the driving wheels wear rubber. This is often the case with European manufacturer, but never with Japanese manufacturer if it's HO.I am not sure why. :(



But if that NS Commutor train were located inbetween DB103 for pulling "Rheingold" and Swiss T.E.E train for Gottardo/Cisalpin, my attention is taken by them, not by the commutor train. Maybe because I am in the same generation with them :-)

Transplanting some sparemints

Found some spare mints I devided last year had enough roots growing, so I transplanted them into size 5 pots.

A lot bigger pot.
Befor transplanting.


After transplanting.

You had better note that you just transplant one into a little bigger pot when you do. This helps their roots to grow good. If you use a lot bigger pot, their roots don't grow good. You just make pots bigger and bigger little by little.

A water house?

On the way back from Himekewa river origin on my taking a walk, found something like a water house which seems not in use any more. I thought this senery might become one for good old days, so I editted it in mono tone.

Cutting oregano

Before


After



Spread the cut oreganos on a piece of newspaper for a some days to get them tried.
You can use some of them for cooking later. Most herbs are originally from Europe where it's not so hot and humid even in summer, so sometimes I do cut some herbs to let them survive in rainy season here in Japan. I don't think I really need to do this while I am in Hakuba, but would like to let them stay comfortable. Some herbs like basils are from semi tropical zone, so they are okay with hot and humid weather.
