Ronald,

Nice job on the little dio. I especially like your weathering method. I am wondering if there any close up shots for the dio?

Excellent work as usual Ronald. I have been following the progress of this Jeep and it is good to see the finished result. Great little base too, how did you make it?

Very nice job. You have a real show stopper there!
One of my favorite subjects and done with great skill.
I really like the job you did on the base. In each picture something else pops out.
Way to go.

Great to see this model finished. Excellent work Ronald. Love all the attention to detail. I love the whole peaceful setting with the spring flowers and the little bird and especially the new little plant beside the tree stump. Very well presented as well. It almost tells its own story!

Great initial photo. I love the B/W.

You ended up with a great little diorama. You did a great job. It came out wonderfully.

I enjoyed watching this one come together.

I like this vehicle. the special forces are always an intriguing subject to built and yours came out superb. The base looks good and the figure is simply outstanding. Another example of your fine craftmanship

:-) Outstanding Ronald, I love the feeling of tranquility, around a machine that can spit death allaround. Wonderful

Looks really good. No constructiuon problems show, nice composition and story. It appears from how deep the grooves are in the turf that the soil is quite wet. Would the trooper be sitting directly on that?

First, thank you all for your kind comments on this litle vignette.

Hi Andrew, I use the sokkel from a old Kirin kit, the base is made with a kind of foam and reworked with some plaster, painted it a Earth color then static gras and drybrush it in various colors green, the three trump is from Verlinden #:-) the leaves are photo etch doint remember the compagnie thats made them, and th eflowers where made with the punch and die set, putting a 0,4 wire in the center of the flower and after that I have cutting leaves in the flowers and painting them.

Hope this help a litle.

Hi Ronald, I must say that the B&W photo looks just like an old photo of the real thing. It looks like a photo his buddy would have taken for posterity. Well done I can add no more than has already been said, apart from it's inspirational and sets a goal for myself and possibly others to strive to.
Hats of to you Ronald. All the best for future builds as I can't wait till your next one.
Kenny.

Ronald,
It would look better if I could just see the pics. There is a problem with loading them since I can only see those little red x marks. Could you show me the link so I could know how really good your diorama is. Thanks.
