This is my somewhat continuing sarga of segmented dioramas, this is my complted segment 6 and 7 and although a complete dio within itself, each can be added to create a larger diorama, if possible, may I please have both good and bad comments.
seg 6 and 7 004
seg 6 and 7 001
and with segment 7 completed, oddly enough this is the 1st of only two buildings on the whole diorama.

Ammazing youve really caught the feel of the first world war "the jumbled mismatch of troops and the crazed idea of this kind of warfare".
1 thing i'll point out is your ground work, the grass work is brilliant but the ground colouring is 'off'. prehaps a dark sludgy brown with dry brushed light brown higlights to keep it more consistant.
( and if i not mistaken a fallschirmjager has time travelled, Airfix with broken arm LOL)
And from what i can see you do things well in such a small scale and its great how you segmented this, as each segment tells a diffrent story and is not just one giant busy scene.

Cheers,
Mat

That is a ton of painting! Cheers! I too share a fancy for WW1 era topics. I only wish that more kits were available... and I wish that I had time to sit and do what you have done. Wonderful job on the whole dio.

Thanks for posting,
Mike

Thank you for those kind words, and if I may push my luck a little further and say, segment number 9 is now finished and on site, this now completes the segmented WW1 dio, thank you all for your advise, comments and time.
