Here is a little dio I really had some fun with! The base is wood, foam, plaster, and static grass. The tree is Woodland Scenics. The figures were made by and individual in Russia
(Thanks 2-2 Dragoon) and of course "Field Laundry" from Verlinden. The dock was scratch built, and the water is also woodland scenics realistic water. I have a bit more to complete- a finished edge around the base and a little clean-up, but please give me your comments!

Nice one boosahmer. Would have been perfect for the recent dio campaign!! The grass and water look so realistic. The figures are full of life and make for a really nice scene.

What you have to do is click on the thumbnail, then when you get the larger picture, right click and get the properties there. Then copy and paste to your post.
Great work on the diorama. Well thought out and expertly executed.
