Hello my friends
this is my last try about a mini diorama...

now I am waiting the new tracks from Friul to change those Tamiya's
to be continued....

Hi Toxotis,

First up just some posting tips. When you write/paste the image code, separate each code by a space, each code underneath each other as opposed to next to each other. This way we can avoid having the huge, stretched out page!

Now, let me congratulate you on the diorama, you are making some very nice progress. Although I am not a fan of P.E vegetation, you have made quite a convincing tropical scene.

You need to work on the large palm trees, there are not enough fronds! Try adding some more high angle fronds. Coconuts tend to be small (fits in your hand) and green throughout most of their growth. It is only at the end stages that they turn yellow, then brown and shortly after, fall off.







Figures and tank looks good, I also like the destroyed hut. I would consider changing the walking Japanese's sword, it looks a bit thick.

I'm very interested to see how this diorama progresses!

Hi Toxotis

Your ground work is outstanding. How did you make the brick wall? I am anxious to see how this turns out.
Good job

Nice work Toxotis! Am I right in thinking that the foliage is laser cut paper?

Hello my friends
thank u all
Chas my friend ur right about the palm trees I'll try to fix them
The waved panels are made from a car's seat back (I'm sorry don't know the right name)

and the foliage is a laser cut papers + p.e.


finally the palm trees are made by balsa wood sticks and train modeling paper

for the falldown foliage I used oregano + basil + rosemarine (frankincence ?)+ thymian

Looking fantastic! Nice to see all the stuff you've used. I think with Thymian you mean thyme?

Wow! Very impressive.

Very nice job...congrat´s, the ground and vegetation is impressive...

Cheers

One word JUNGLE ! awsome, smell it , live it, love it !

I like your SBS Dio. It is rare to see anything related to a Japanese theme. Great job.
I would suggest correcting your title form "Luson" to "Luzon". I think Ed Sarao would agree to this.
Chas Young gave you great reference to the coconut trees. This would be a good depiction of the coastal areas of Luzon. Your coconut trees are a little bit sparse on the leaves but these did not overwhelm the whole dio but it draws in the attention to the main focal point which is the SP.

Again Jungle dio
I love it
Keep us the good work
Cheers
