Absolute pleasure to watch this come together Polux, the finished product is ultimately one of the best dioramas I have ever seen. The night effects with the lighting,... just WOW! Superb build all round mate, give yourself a pat on the back and celebrate

Looking again at your superb dio, do you have a photo editing program? Like Photoshop Elements (or the rather expensive Photoshop itself), or the several free ones like PhotoPad Editor, and others listed in about.com Nearly all photos can have their basic quality improved (I don't mean messed about) using them. For instance, here are two of your photos treated only by adjusting Levels and adding a little sharpening. To me at least, they make the pics even more impressive and seem to show the scene better:

The top image has benefited from the tonal changes that's for sure, a lot more like it's been shot in natural light.

The bottom image doesn't look as "atmospheric" to me, although improved visually, it's lost that "sultry" look :-)

Yes, you're right. Its too technically perfect.

Still looks good though as a stand alone :-)

CDW: I tried adding a medium grey layer at 25% opacity and it adds a slight mistiness "end of a long shift ready for bed" look. You need to be an artist to get this sort of thing right.

Hola mi amigo!

Polux what you have produced here is another master piece. The time you have used is clear in the quality of the piece. A fantastic diorama that has it all.

But how do you follow that! Excellent work Polux.

So you have done a winter dio, with all the snow and ice. Now this one with the deep and moody shadows. The Secret Trip. Even the title has an air of mystery to it.

Take all the stars you like. You deserve them.

Totally awesome Polux. What a masterpiece you have created. As a dio it is outstanding and as we look closer we can see many models that can be viewed separately and achieve the same excellent standard.

Top marks buddy.

I too have given you three great builds for all three sections...but to be honest, the great build doesn't seem enough for this amount of detail and quality. Superb workmanship Polux a real treat to watch talented model makers do their craft, there are some real talented modellers on this site and you are right up there with them.

Si...awestruck.

Fantastic.

I agree with everything said above. That is right up there with the very best dioramas I have seen. I am very, very impressed.

Cheers
