Ok guys. The figures have now been added with a dog and his water bowl. Please go easy on me as this is my first major work with figures. As you all know, I have been shy about painting figures due to my inexperience. So here are the pics.

Ok. I finally added another figure, this time from MENG civilian kit. It is a boy. Again, go easy on the paint job. ButI think I did an OK job for my third figure. I also added more bike parts and Misc.

Brilliant,you have an amazing talent for making ordinary objects look so realistic-a great dio. The figures have come out well and give life to the dio. Not sure about the dog as I've never seen any model dogs look realistic compared to humans-no matter how well painted.

That's a great photographic work, using real buildings in background, getting the scale just right enough so it would look like real world, real life background looks better than using a painting as a background. The 11th photo.

I wonder? Do you think you could try that set up again, but if you could find older broken down buildings that could stand in as war torn buildings?

Thanks. Actually, when I took the photos i did not think about the buildings at all. I just wanted to use the outdoors to get real lighting instead of lamps.

Brilliant diorama! Fantastic detailing on the car - looks real! Well done! Please can I ask what you used for the vegitation?

Cheers,

Hi Stix. The vegetation is a combination of finely picked moss and shrubs. I look for the right ones that will fit the part. Another thing to remember that most of the good vegetation you buy but are expensive, are picked the very same way and treated the very same way I pick mine and treat them. I like using real vegetation because it looks natural which it is.

Great idea - it certainly works really well. Thank you.
