This is my first diorama later it will come a sherman tank,a willys jeep, an infantry assault team and a rangers team

WOW! I wish my first one turned out like that. Love the groundwork!

It's friggin' good great groundwork + building is perfect, but the house walls are a little unrealistic painted and the vegetation is a little poor. And if you make a frame around your dio it will look even more great

Very good.
if I will come with some criticism so thinks I that it is for little material as been blasted away on the land in the house and also outside.
Awaits to see it entirely completed

Hi Petros,
this is a pretty good start you've made to your first diorama! I especially like the road you've done, not so sure to be honest about the groundwork either side of it though, it looks alittle 'red' to me. Where do you intend the scene to be set, that then might explain the colour more?

I do like the colour of your building, it looks pretty old and desolate, however picking out some of the bricks in various shades of red/brown might help it? The vegetation is good, but I don't know if the two plants on the right hand side of picture 2 look particularly to scale??

But that's just nit picking, overall it's pretty cool, & look forward to seeing the vehicles & figures on there soon.....
Cheers for now

Looks pretty good so far. I like the vegetation. What looks weak to me are the rocks. They are just sitting there on the ground like they fell off a truck. They would look better if they were maybe a bit smaller and were build into the ground work, Using a layer of Celluclay or other product to build up the ground work helps with this and gives the ground a more natural look. Painting and adding shadows and highlights would make them look better.

I'm new modeler the last 3-4 months i start.

the red its from the light, the normal ground color its brown

when i start it i was not expecting that i will make it so good, i'm happy that you like it.
The next which i'm planing its a 88mmGun Flak36 with winter camouflage

Overall it's nicely done, lots of good things going on.
The layout with an angle to the road, space is filled well, lots of detail, plants are nice.

Have to agree with the comments about the rocks and the different shades of brick.

Keep us posted.

And this is the final!

Hi Petros
That looks awesome,are you sure its your first! I have just one little nitpick, that is your rangers, they are still wearing their boyancey aids, (the black bit like this guy has on his front)

I am assuming that this dio is set quite inland from the beaches as the tank seems to have quite bit of damage on it, if so the rangers would not be wearing their boyancy aids, infact I seem to recall someone saying that they were ditched as soon as possible as they were rather cubersome. Other than that though you have got a very very nice dio there, waiting with baited breath for the next!! Nick

Very good first diorama!
I like the way you placed the sitting Gi on the fallen tree.

Good job, congratulatons on this excellent debut.

Cheers
Claude

An excellent job Petros, really great scene you've got here, the Sherman is excellently weathered and its good to see a nice use of the DML and Tamiya figure sets.
However, a couple of pointers for future reference:

- The inside of the gunners hatch should be painted OD not white, and why has he got his head out and not the driver?

- The barn (which is excellent by the way) could do with some more debris/objects of some type towards the back - it looks a little empty to me.

- As mentioned the rangers still have their life jackets on, and i'd have suggested painting them and the tamiya figures in the same set of colours so that one set doesn't stand out from the others.

Please don't take these the wrong way, you have an excellent dio on your hands there, these are just a few pointers you may find useful.
Can't wait to see your next peice of work,

James

Nice work petros congrats , what is next

Dear Petros,

Our fellow modelers have already told you a lot to keep in mind for the next diorama.
So I will skip that, but...YOU ARE A VERY TALENTED PERSON.

Especially your figures are well done, knowing you are quite new in the hobby.

Congrats mate ! G.

thank you all

what is the OD?
The sherman was my first tank and i didnt painted.When i start to paint better i decide to make this diorama and paint the tank also,and the hatches i had them both close so i open only the one the other it was not possible

The colour "Olive Drab". Took me a while to figure that one!

Cheers,
Ian

Petros, excellent work for a first dio. The figures look very good and the Sherman came out looking quite real !!!!
Cheyenne
