This is looking great Lindsey and thanks for the compliment, glad to be of help......but remember, you can get all the advise you could shake a stick at, but it's still all down to the modeller to produce the goods, and are you doing just that!

Excellent composition. A lot of thought is going into this and isn't it great when you get new ideas and visions as you progress?...And having the balls to alter things! That's what I find makes dioramas such great fun to do....Free as a bird!

Congrats to your little girl, excellent photos. A talent to be groomed.

Cheers,

Ron

That's turned out very nicely! Good one Lindsey.

I'm not knocking what you've done, but I might have coloured the 'solid' areas of the camo mesh in green to look like leaves. Mind you, with desert camo, perhaps your single colour works best.

Tx Dave ... the camo netting is actually splashed with blobs of geen and mixed with the original colour came out a rather nice looking olive drab ... sadly though it does not come out in the photo clearly as it is bit too light methinks ... u r right though for the particular scene i was depicting the camo on the netting is probably far too light and i should have made it a bit darker ........kind rgds lindsey

Lindsey that looks really good. Well thought out with plenty going on.

Yuo have every right to be pleased with this, your first diorama.....Here's to the next one.

Just one thing, the figure sitting on the rocks, doing nothing, is going to be popular!

Well done,

Ron

That looks very nice Lindsey! Just goes to show that you don't need to spend loads of money to get a great result. The chaps holding the 88mm shells must work out a lot; they're pretty heavy!

u right patrick ... i did think about that when i was putting the figures together but did it anyway :fool:... have since changed both figures to holding jerry cans rather ... a tad more realistic .... tx lindsey
