beauty! Looks really good, if you could add some outdoor pics I'd love to see them as well!

Re: whatever 'errors' might exist in your composition... whatever. A GREAT looking dio. Sweet water effects. Standing by for more.

Javier,Scott,petros,Yvan,Greg,Rick,Andy,Alex , i thank all of you

Wow! This is something! The water effects are great! Nice work man!

I missed that one too, but it is defintely worth discovering.

This is beautiful work, a lot of variation, well execute, nice colors, creative....attributes of a very good dio!

Congratulation

this is a beautifull diorama.

thanks Claude and Luis

Hello Dimitris,

Great build, very original concept. And just as in movies or books, things don't have to be 100% accurate in a diorama. At least that is my opinion. I see it more as 'art' than as 'fact'.

That said, however, I think some concepts can be taken to a next level with a little bit of research. Or help from fellows.

For instance: remarks about the '234' British marking, about cactii and species of palms in Libya or Egypt are true and can easily be checked. (No cactii, your palms are Asian, not African.)
That goes for the Libyan desert lakes and their vegetation and terrain as well. (Google for Ubari Lakes, or Mandara Lakes, and you will see what I mean... For instance, you'll see sand deserts, not rock deserts.)

But as said: there is such a thing as artistic licence.

Another thing though... What parks his Kübelwagen in a spot like that!? And what boatsman is giving full throttle when he sees that? We're seconds from disaster here!

Sometimes you have to kill your darlings: I personally believe that without the KW the dio will look much better, with more focus, and also more 'realistic'...

Maybe I'm wrong, you decide.
Cheers!

I decide.the .... 'art' than as 'fact'
thanks Jan

Yo Dimitris,

What a big and dynamic diorama!

First I tought its going to be to big...but you did a good job to fill up al the corners and places of the dio. Mutch to see and discover...love you're water aspect.

Great work!

Cactus in N. Africa according to Google pics. I have seen Prickly Pears in other photos also. They are used as food and fencing around olive groves.

Correct: In Morrocco cactii are crop, produce, introduced by the Spaniards, who brought them from South America. They don't grow in the wild though...

hi Jan
i think it is only a diorama not the "The Constant Gardener "

Hello Dimitris. Very nice dio ... plenty of details and plenty busy. I like the painting and weathering of the vehicles, but the white foam and the waves steal the show. Nice one.

What can i say....i'm speechless.....what a great diorama!!!

thanks Frank
