Micro work

[Andy Belsey]

Hi I'm Andy (one of the MM refugees). This is one of my dioramas. It's scratchbuilt and is 1:285 scale. I did this without magnification, but then got older!

This is just sick Andy, and without magnification? :surprised:

Impressive! Do you have some more photos of this great scene?

Cheers

The gun has about 80 pieces. I cheated with custom drawn etchings but there are many tiny bits of styrene. The smallest pieces were the handles on the brake crank wheel handles - about 0.25mm diameter and 0.5mm long. Yes, this was done with my naked eyes, when they worked properly! The figures are converted Germans (Don't tell Grandad!) I made it using two pairs of tweezers.

Outstanding work Andrew

[Andy Belsey]

Thank you Ian. I, like the other MM refugees, want to integrate with those of you who have allowed us to invade your space on mass. I am presently 'homeless' having had to vacate my house due to a flood while its rebuilt. I am having to live with friends for a few months and am being respectful that I am in their home. I now find myself being turned out of my 'virtual home' too, but I come to learn, share and encourage, enjoying a shared hobby. We have chosen your 'home' because it is a friendly place to be. I've made a name for myself on the internet, but am determined never to become arrogant - nobody likes an a**ehole!

Hi Andy,
Your work never ceases to amaze me, I wouldn't be able to achieve this at twice the scale with the help of an optivisor !!!!!!!

Beautiful - but insane!

WW2 is more popular than WW1 so here is one of my other dioramas. The Tanks are made my GHQ and I just added a bit more detail.
