giemme Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Stix, I think you have a great sense for drama and choreography: your dioramas are simply amazing! Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 That base looks fantastic Stix, nice addition with the fence. The Typhoon looks really good, especially against the sky background. How many figures are going to add to the base? This is going to look brilliant when all the parts of the build come together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Robert and thank you. Oak!...nah...I'm pretty sure it's made of plastic!! 😜 I must admit I cannot remember which of the trees, I've got, is which. I took them out of the packaging when I got them because the packaging is quite bulky.

Most of the grass stuff I use is from the Army Painter tufts ranges although I used some Guagemaster tufts as well.

There will be four figures - as can be seen below. There may be, sort of, another if I can figure out how to get the look I'm thinking of. I do apologise for my lack of time on here recently but everything is a bit hectic at the moment - with work, home and modelling. I do keep browsing on BM when I get chance but I'm not finding time to post stuff very often. Anyway - over the weekend - I decided I need to get the four figures sorted. They are not finished yet but this is how they looked late on yesterday evening: All my modelling time was taken with these - mostly doing the camo!! Yes - I was going a bit dotty with it!! Comments and suggestions welcome. Kind regards, Stix 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Very nice job on the figures Stix, I know they aren't finished yet but the camo scheme you have done on them looks great, no wonder it tested your eyes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Thank you very much @modelling minion @giemme @Ozzy @fatfingers @Hewy and @Corsairfoxfouruncle for your very kind comments and also to everyone who has taken the time to comment in this thread. Big thank you to @Robert Stuart our fantastic host for this fantastic GB. I have managed to get it finished in time although it was a bit of a rush towards the end. I knew I had to get it finished before the weekend as I'm not going to have much time on Saturday and Sunday for modelling. Ideally I would have liked to add a few more bits and pieces but it's going to have to do. I have thoroughly enjoyed building this and the gallery photos can be found here.

modelling minion Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 This has to be your best diorama yet, and that is saying something! All the elements work extremely well together, and I really like the rockets which have just blasted through the trees, a great touch. I can't wait to see what you do next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
