    Take a bow, this is brilliant, it's telling a story without you having to explain what is happening and that's the sign of a well thought out and executed diorama...

    the attention to the little details really shows through and that compressor is brilliant...

      Andy I absolutely love this diorama, remember to put some 1200 grit paper, firecla compound and a buffing machine in a toolbox to take the dirt inclusions out!!!!!!

          Excellent work Andy. As Chris says, it’s telling a story and doesn’t need explanation. Great attention to detail and fine execution make it a top job :thumb2:

            Thanks very much gents. It's gone from a quick build while I was waiting for some miniatures to arrive into something I'm very pleased with.

            Love that idea Stefan, although I doubt the guys will be too bothered about a bit of dust lol :smiling5:

              Thanks Andy, it's brilliant using the gloss like that, and certainly glossy enough, that was a smart idea indeed .:thumb2::nerd:
              Love the inclusion of the hose esp with it passing under his foot like that .

                Thanks John. The hose is a bit of a cheat but don't tell anyone

                I'd scaled it to be a realistic diameter but only have short lengths of lead wire that size, so a hidden joint under his foot and another under the pallet did the trick.

                          Thanks Jim.

                          I've got a couple of finishing touches kicking around in my head, will see how they work out.
