Thanks Emma

[Guest]

so who is the unlucky sod to get bitten by the rattler,and by the way the snakes look awesome and the rest of the DIO is looking quite realistic by design and the weathering

[Guest]

Thanks Ole it is coming together slowly and I am managing not to rush as it nears the end.

[Guest]

Those snakes give me the shivers Terry! Definitely the one about to strike, he's the best.

the figures and gave the rattlers a first coat of paint although I think I went to dark. So tomorrow I will give them a lighter coat and finish them off.

[Guest]

The hummer is all but done with just a couple of bits to add.

I have also had a go at painting the rattlers but need to redo them as the patches of earth colour are to far apart.[ATTACH]86741.IPB[/ATTACH]

[john i am]

Hummer n snakes look great looking forward to the conclusion of this dio plenty of pics at the end please

[Guest]

Thanks John I will try on the picture front

Those figures are nicely painted Terry, bit zombie in the eyes though at that stage. The black fella on the left, is that 'Will I Am'?

[Guest]

Thanks Joe I agree they do have a bit of a zombie look at the moment but they will change as more paint is added.

[Guest]

Some of the figures have now had a second and third brown added but I am not sure if they look right. By that I mean to me the dpm looks to splodgey. I do have two more colours to go so it may even out ifyou know what I mean.[ATTACH]87252.IPB[/ATTACH]

These two are nearly finished with only one colour to add. I am still not sure if I like them but when you take the camera factor out of it and use normal vision they don't look to bad.

They look pretty good to me Terry. Always the way with figures in such a small scale, when you zoom in with a camera you can see every imperfection on them. They will look good with the diorama.

[Guest]

I think you are right Joe. Once they are on the back drop of sand they shouldn't look to bad.
