ta Terry , Si , Leo ,so glad that you like it i think placement is the hard thing to get right at times,

Great diorama Monica. So much to look at in the scene, and everything is very well detailed and painted. The natural light adds to the atmosphere of the diorama, it really does look like the start of winter. Awesome work.

Another top build Monica, you keep knocking them out and they are getting better and better, great work

[monica]

thank you so much Joe,Tommy for such kind comments, much appreciated,

it dose inspire you to try and do better each time,

I do like the sun light on it dose bring out the colors so much better, think thats what gave me the kick in the pants to finish it

[Guest]

Really good lighting, crisp, with just enough in the shadows to see detail in the figures. I like it.

Monica I really like this, those horse soldiers are fantastic and the pack mule is also really well done, a nice little diorama what a quality build.

hi Steve,Scott, so glad that you both like it, and for such nice comments,

Fantastic - very realistic and tells a really interesting story. I was having a discussion today about modelling and someone talked about it being an outlet for creativity. That's not the case for me - I just re-create the real thing as best I can. But those who do dioramas can create something from their own imagination. It's a real gift and you should be proud to have it.

thank you so much Doug, do real appreciate,the nice comments,

you know i quite offend say the same thing at home, its a way for me to still be creativity,

and i would say that ever you dont do a dio, your work is still creativity.,even you not telling a store , to take some think from bear plastic,

and give it life with paint is a wonderful, think to be able to do,so we all are in owe owen way,
