Friends,

while running around the www I stumbled into this link. A couple of nice dio ideas and some good pics are behind the link below.

If you like the "Tall Grass", just check out "After all" and "There"......and look at those pine trees in "Narrow Way"...

yes some real good skills at vehicle modelling and painting, real nice figs too but in my opinion the dios are not so great as each one is allways covered by fired rounds of all calibers even when there's no obvious artillery position there, in "get ready" for exemple the ground is covered with german weapons, rounds, a part of engineer bridge, etc ...
my point is while the skill level is very high in term of realisation the lack of realism in term of composition broke my "wow" effect ...
bests regards

Marty,

I sure would love to ask him, but eeeeh I fear I don't speak his native tongue, so to answer your question.....Nope, I don't know his secret...

Kefran I can see your point about the miscellaneous items strewn around but I must disagree with you. I see the artillery (or tank) shells as an indication of heavy fighting that took place perhaps in the last few minutes. I think that the piece of engineer’s bridge gives you an indication of a river or a stream near by. I think his composition is quite well.

BTW, welcome to Armorama.
