An old favorite of mine "Hold Until Relieved"

Wow!! Lovely diorama!!!
The general colour looks very good, personally I like the rails and how you managed them....and the best, for me, is the “sensation of movement” all around the work.
Cool!

Hi Colin, Daniel and Polux...very humbled by your kind comments.

It has that smiling effect on me as well as revisiting it everytime to gain inspiration for the next build. The whole idea was to give it a 360 degree vantage and I had to make sure there was eye contact with some of the figures. Glad you like it.

Thanks again for looking in.

Cheers,
Richard

Fantastic work Richard so much to see I keep going back over photos.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:.

Hi Barry...much obliged. The images here are quite big and I'm seeing that my style has changed. I used to airbrush most of my weathering especially rust stains. So they look kinda soft.

Cheers,
Richard

One for the ages. Sometimes all the magic comes together at once, compo., assy., & finishes. You can tell it has old figs by their hands showing the state of the art at the time. BTW, I've known guys w/two left feet. PaulE

Hi Mike and Paul...thanks. If I could turn back time and do it again with knowledge I have gathered through the years might not turn out the same. I can only reminise and be thankful it got done. :smiling2: I don't know if I'm more detailed than I ever was. Sometimes I feel nothings changed perhaps some finer painting or a certain technique has improved. Still I look at it and just smile.
Paul you discover them on the dance floor when you get stepped on. :tears-of-joy:

Cheers,
Richard

I love dioramas like this where there is a lot of activity like the scene is alive. I think this is A+ work and seeing work like this inspires me to continue model making.

[rtfoe]

Thanks Alex. I'm glad this has inspired you as much as it was an inspiration to build.

Cheers,
Richard

fantastic,build,your done,hear,Richard, people have mostly said as I,would,plus more,
one thing that ,I real like is the guy with ,the two left,feet :smiling::thumb2: ,

[rtfoe]

Thanks Monica, so you prefer guys with two left feet...just kidding.:smiling4: Ya, his pose looks very relaxed. The two left feet made it possible to have it close together and the joint was covered extending the smock with putty.

Cheers,
Richard
