Forgive me for one critique, maybe the figures could have been given a flat coat, but then again, it might just be the lighting for the photo shoot. Nevertheless, top marks from me. Hi Drift and thank you for your comments. The figures are actually quite matt in finish but I think a combination of the light dry-brushing and light quality makes them look a bit shiny.

Blaubar Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Great diorama here. Nice fix with your story about the yet relaxed air crew.... totally legit. Impressive work, especially given the limited time frame👍🏻🤘🏻. /Stefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Stunning presentation. The Yak is awesome and the tanks as well. Especially the weathered, streaky green camo looks very convincing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I say that I love what you have done already? well done Hi Jack and thank you very much for your comments. The background photo was one of those lucky finds online. It was a copyright free image that only appeared for a short while on a photography website - I forget which one. I have looked for it since but haven't been able to find it. Unfortunately I didn't keep a copy of it - I printed it and then deleted the original. It was a very large image that I printed slightly blurred onto 4 A4 sheets of paper which I then laminated with matt pouches. These were then cut to size and mounted on some 4mm MDF.

I understand fully how time limits can curtail a diorama, and how time extensions can allow for changing only minor details or improving what's already been done, rather than completely changing certain larger aspects. Still, I never questioned why your ground crew weren't diving for cover... clearly they are unaware that the enemy is engaging the tank crews. If I were the enemy I'd certainly open fire on the tanks first as the aircraft poses no threats whatsoever. And I think someone is mistaking dry-brushed uniforms for a gloss sheen. So hopefully they'll realise. Again, fantastic work. Rearguards, Badder Hi Badder, thank you very much, as always, for kind comments and support! On 15/09/2017 at 17:20, Head in the clouds. said: Hi.

Bob Henry Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hey Stix, another masterpiece. I have already seen the individual pieces before but you did a super job of putting things together with outstanding landscaping. I do have a question though. What did you use for the larger trees ?
