About Michael Fichtenmayer (FichtenFoo)
FROM: PENNSYLVANIA, UNITED STATES

I'm a web and graphic designer and currently a stay-at-home dad from Pittsburgh, PA. I've been modeling since late 2001 and while my main model subject love is giant robots, I enjoy the occasional armor piece or combination of afv and robots.

I like the way this looks. The figures look great as well. I agree, there should be some more Japanese armor represented here. I myself am guilty of not doing any. Quick question, what are you using for the Railroad I-beams? Sean

He was right! Always interested in seeing Armour from around the world, especially when it is a well done dio like this! Cheers, Michael

Thanks guys! I did a VERY detailed in-progress of this build which you can view here: http://fichtenfoo.com/02GiantRobots/02b-JGSDFType74.htm I wanted it to be a tutorial of sorts for the robot modelers at my board to get into armor. The railroad tracks are from a local model railroad shop. I bought a section and ripped it apart to make it wider and to paint/detail it. I have a few more JGSDF pieces to build yet including the Type 87, Type 82 and the recon motorcycle. Those should be fun!

NIcely done! A very well executed diorama. If I ever get my own diorama completed, I hope mine achieves one small iota of the quality of this dio!

that's really sharp, very "crisp" which really goes well with modern armour I think. Well done on a great model.
