Your diorama,for your first...It's great! I like te water.

Hi Andy. Great first dio. Wish my first looked this good. As already mentioned, a lot of really good techniques used well here. Hopefully we´ll be seeing more of this??


As you´ve now ... by your unknown/undeveloped modeller´s-telepath abilities .... agreed to sign the rest of your life making dioramas , why bother with an expensive display case. Look into a cheap display cabinet with glass doors! They can be be purcahsed from the likes of IKEA. Keep you eye out for small shops closing down ... some really great ones can be found here very cheaply/free.

This is a good diorama, and as it is your first its more impressive.

What I would have done is to cut the scene down quite a bit thus achieving a more compact scene without these empty spaces.

Cheers

THANKS TO ALL FOR COMMENTS
Im hoping to take some more pics soon, I kind of rushed taking these pics just to get them on forum,,,hopefully i can take some better ones of the sherman as i probably spent 80% of the time working on it. Im out of work at moment so modeling isnt my top priority,, but I did start work on my 2nd dio - ive got a MARDER III M TANK DESTROYER and CREW ,, I also bought a compressor and airbrush ,not sure of scenic settings yet but will post pics of progress on tank destroyer ,, , , ,, Ive learned alot from this site and the people on it so a BIG THANKS TO ALL Andy,,,

I dig it !

what is that grass made with

Very nice diorama, Andy! I espcially like the water ripples.
I wish my first dio would have been that good.


Marek

Exellent work. Very well executed and interesting to look at.

Keep it up.

Simon

Nice work,
people who posts 'their first dio's", i envy, because my first dio is REALLY crap...

i am currently working on a dio now, i hope it turns out better than the other one

i like the ripple effects with your water

Hi Michaelk - The grass is made with - Heki 1574 " Wild grass savanna"

Hi Andy, Very nice job, especially for a 1st try. I would like to suggest that you add 1 more figure between the tank and the water's edge. The foreground is a little empty. Some one suggested a knocked-out tank, I think that would be too much. Again this is just a suggestion, and is of course a matter of preference. I look forward to seeing more of your work here in the future.

Hey, what a nice diorama! How did you do the grass? Hardly believable that this is your first diorama. Looks like you have lots of experience already.

Dom

first time a buddy of mine used the EZ water with a heat gun he set his dio on fire; you did alright, considering! Bloody amazing work right out of the gate good thing jealousy isn't fatal.

Great diorama Andy.
I like the composition.
Rusty fence looks very natural.
I think that you can add more vegetation to your diorama ( tall grass, small bushes ) to differentiate it, and fill empty spaces.

Hi, congrats on that great diorama. The cemetary was a cool idea. Maybe others already said it, but the fence could've been set more forward to even out the space better. Freakin' sweet!
