I will shortly be posting Nic's (folgore) article on builing his Topolino & Camel diorama.

Dromedary Dilemma

As usual if you have feedback or questions for Nic you can post them here.

Thanks Nic!

Cheers,
Jim

That's a great topolino ! Nice work.

Hi Nic,

Nice article and dio.

Nicolas,
Nice article and dio. I think you achieved the weathering on the Topolino the way you wanted it and I love the attention to detail (shadowing of the folds in the door panel).

The figures look great. As someone who is just starting to attempt 1/35 scale figures (after seeing the lack of them with the tanks at IPMS Nationals).

That leads me to another question though and perhaps Pipesmoker (or someone else) can answer it-I'll start a new thread in the General Modeling forum so as not to change the topic.

What a great diorama! I have always been partial to things simply stated, and you told a great story with your diorama. Also, I envy your skill at painting animals. Something I have yet to try. Very nice.

Bravo Nicolas!
That is a great piece of work. It´s almost japanese simplicity what you have produced. There is nothing to see in the base for example but you did it very beautifully. It asks some balls to leave it like this and not add any unnecessary stuff.
Sunlight really adds the realism in this scene.
I would like to point out many things but I just simply like it!

Looking forward to your next project(s)!

Thanks guys, I couldn't answer sooner because I was on holidays, but I'm back now.
One thing I forgot to put in the article was a little touch I was quite proud of at the time. On the driver's side sun visor I attached a photograph of, presumably, the driver's wife or girlfriend. On the internet, I found a suitable picture. I then sized it down to a very small size and printed it out. I just had a Deskjet printer, but the results were all right. I used a thin strip of lead foil for the clamp. Here's a picture:

Nice touch, Nic. It's those little details that separate the modellers from the builders.
