Dear all,
I thought I would post this link which is the one of a French modeller who is doing some quite interesting dioramas -the fact he doesn't speak English much stops him from raising awareness out of the country which is too bad.

The link i give is the one to his underwater dioramas which are the best of what he has to offer in my opinion, but he's got quite a few interesting armour dioramas, and his "adventure" section also holds some gems. All in all, i rarely saw so much stuff and of a such constant quality on a whole website.

I also consider him like a breaker -he indeed uses some special resins for his waters which doesn't retract, he recreates patches of light on the sea bed etc...

thanks for viewing

Quite well done - especially how the underwater divers interact with the scene and adds scale.

Thanks for sharing the link

It is amazing all around.
Maybe you should help him translate to English.
Would be killer then for a lot more people.

Thanks for posting it ,now something else to save to the drive.

Thankyou jba! Always delighted to see great works of dioramas. Hope to see some translations of your friends text someday. Many questions of how he created certain effects.
Great stuff.
