    Street Battle

    This diorama came about of necessity. A diorama had been destroyed by child sometime ago. I decided to reuse items from that diorama together with another diorama to to make up for the destroyed one. Most of the figures have been taken from other smaller dioramas together with newer ones to form this recent version. I have been contemplating a vehicle, such as a pickup, but not too sure. I think the diorama looks good a nd makes a statement as is. We shall see late on down the line if I change my mind.

          Excellent work, plenty of detail with the debris .Agree with Chris about the movement. Well done Charles.
          Thinking about the pick up, yes and no, there's so much movement, would the pick up detract. ?

              Lovely dio Charles with lots of action. The composition is great and might not even need the pickup truck. Well spaced figures and the latest MiniArt accessories complete the time and situation. The detail painting and little touches of litter...very nice.

              Cheers,
              Richard

                Thanks. I thought it would add a little interest to the scene.

                  I think it looks better without the pickup.

                      Love this. It takes guts to leave an empty space on a dio but here it gives a great sense of the time while the reinforcements arrive.

                        Nice work Charles. The elements interact well with each other, and the linear composition adds another dimension to the story. Agree with the others about the pickup. It would detract from the flow of the scene and tend to dominate proceedings rather too much.

                          Exactly! That was the idea.

                            I totally agree. Thanks everyone.

                              That really is stand-alone excellence Charles! I think a vehicle may just clutter the scene unnecessarily - the composition is superb as it stands! Just excellent!
