Malayan Emergency 1/35 scale.

Fabulous, just fabulous. Everything from the overall idea, to detail, to display. That is fast becoming a truly great diorama.

[Andy the Sheep]

Ditto... and those prawns!:blow-kiss:

[JR]

Wabble strange that you cook the complete prawn with head.

Love the frame, think it cost a lot here to have that made.

Excellent.

Just caught up with all this and especially the monkey progress. Not a massive fan of them in real life, a troop tried to steal my phone, laptop and book in Bali. Much more of a fan of yours though!

Thank you Tim, Andy, John R, Paul and Jack.
The idea kept shifting as I progressed and has made certain executions difficult like suspending the monkeys on the long vines...that's going to be a test. Hope nothing goes wrong.:tongue-out3:

Ditto my comments.:tears-of-joy: Ya, I started drooling seeing those pictures again.

That's the best part where you suck all the juices...flavourful. It's a SEA thing. It cost about 25 quid.:smiling2:

I nearly think so.:smiling6:

We keep our distance here as well as they're known to attack in packs. I think you're safe if you don't carry food and don't approach the mummy with the cute little offspring. I'm still halfway through the dio so lots more to see in the next three months. Have a deadline for June.

Cheers,

Looking superb Richard. Display case looks great.

Thanks Jim, don't know why this time the glass corner tape is so broad.

Cheers,

Added more leaves and shoots and only 50% done on the bamboo.


Started on my banana trees with base painting of the leaves. Will vary the shades with filtering and washes. When that is done will concentrate on the trunks.

Basically this is where the banana trees will be strategically placed that caused the ambush. Don't ever get in the way of monkeys.

Doing the bananas separately and attach later.

Cheers,
Wabble

Superb Richard. Scratch building bananas! :smiling:

[Airborne01]

Make sure the bananas don't conform to certain EU Directives mate! Looking superb - I have some Vietnam-era models to undertake and I think you should run a veggie masterclass! :tears-of-joy:

Thanks Jim and Steve, I couldn't resist making the bananas...the last jungle dio I did the banana tree was bananaless. What are the EU directives Steve? Are they size concerned? Spotless? I'll stick to Pisang Berangan or Emas.:smiling2: Vegan class you mean. :smiling6:

It concerned the straightness (and size), or otherwise, of said bananas offered for sale within the EU! The diktat was greeted with universal derision! :tears-of-joy:

That directive never actually existed Steve, but it amused a lot of people to think it did! There were some EU/EC decisions that were far more ridiculous than that though.
