If you got one of those micro cameras in amongst all that kit there would be enough photographic references for dozens of modellers on here. I can smell the diesel!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not one pose is identical in those figures!!!!!!

Hi Nick,

I remember the early pictures of your build. The vehicles have turned out 1st class and you have created a very realistic and busy scene, bring in not only a range of super models but a very lively and interesting picture, depicting a wide range of activity that displays military life in the field extremely well.

Excellent stuff, what a great layout for you kits, your attention to detail is excellent, plenty there to keep ones interest.

THanks for sharing this on,e a pleasure to see the final result.

Cheers

Excellent piece.
Well laid out, no dead spots, filled with interesting details and action.

Stunning work! The dio looks great!
One note though, I guess this is a OP Granby setup and to my knowledge that is a bit early for the Land Rover Wolf. Never the less absolutly marvelous work.

What a masterpiece!! One of the finest modern dioramas ive seen in a long time. I can only echo what everyone else has said.

To anyone whos ever moaned that there aint enough modern British figures on the market, I'll show em this, as a testament to what can be achieved with a bit of effort.

Really great diorama, left me wanting more.
Thanks for the diorama and Keith thanks for the editing

WOW!!! Stunningly complex and very well executed. The amount of detail is jaw-dropping, and the quality of the figures and vehicles is excellent.

HOLY MOLY!!! That looks great.

Hats off

When I first saw this diorama I thought it must be 1/72 scale. To big to be anything else. It must be 1/72. But then I came to the scary truth that it's really 1/35!!!! Damn. Not only is it impressive because of the size but every detail is well executed. Every figure. Every vehicle. Stunning. Awe inspiring. Even the soles of the photographers shoes are detailed. I won't ask how much it all cost but I think this might be the single biggest order for Hornet heads in history.

WOW!

A very impressive work all around, so much to draw the eye without feeling over-crowded. Top notch.

WOW..Awesome..! you're making us look bad. seriously..very nice diorama. thanks for sharing.

Well Just one critic:
18 Pictures it isn't enough to enjoy this beauty,

OUTSANDING, one of the best modern dio so far.

Congrats
Seb

Most of what I think has been said above, so that leaves me with "Perfect, just perfect"

Congratulations on a wonderful work ,

I don't envy you to paint all this scamouflage uniforms.
Good choice to make a small denivalation in the terrain.

Cheers
Claude

Absolute museum piece !!!!!
I agree with Sebastion, more pics. !!!!!!
Cheyenne

...........wow.............Masterpiece.........

great work man!!
stunning

Wow...Impressive!!! I would really like to see what the entire diorama consists of as far as the materials used (kits, figures etc). Knowing some of it has to be Accurate Armor? there must have been a lot of $$ in addition to the hours put into this masterpiece.

Killer diorama!!!! Absolutely fantastic!

How do we find out more about this diorama, its stunning. Would love more information on all the figures to start with.
