            Excellent depiction of a scene I've seen so many times all over Africa, very unusual and well crafted diorama.

                I added a couple of figures from a previous diorama to this diorama, as I thought it was better suited to the scenario and the theme of the diorama. I also included two newer ones together with the older ones, to add more life and humor to an already deplorable scene. Hope yall like the newer additions.

                    Wow , how did I miss this?
                    it's brilliant.
                    what is the scale and source of your figures?- scratchbuilt, 3D-printed or what (noticed a couple of build layers on the shark, sorry)?

                          Thanks. The scale is 1:35. The guy with the shark, the guy holding the radio, and the sleeping man, are from Mantis. The others are from various manufacturers that are not available any more. They are from a French company. They are all resin, but do not know if they are 3d printed. So what is 'build layer' as you so eloquently put it?

                              Very impressive.
                              All 3D printed models are built up gradually in very thin layers,like stepped contours,and in the early days they were very evident and required a lot of fettling to remove. But nowadays they are so thin as to be almost undectable. There are a couple visible around the fin of the shark.
                              But it in no way was intended as a criticism, please don't take it that way.
