These figures really bring the scene to life. Excellent work.

I wish my eyes could see such small parts.. 1/72 scale sure saves a lot of space!

Who makes these figures? They look pretty good.. due to your painting, of course

Holding my breath to see your next project!

Cheers

Very , very nice. Terrific painting and a funny little theme to go with it. I am pretty good at this modeling thing , but am always in awe of folks who do stuff as well as you. Maybe someday , before the rest of my hair falls out , I will catch up....

Thank You Very Much Hisham!!!

The figures are all from Milicast and they have a very large selection of resin figures.

I have been holding my breath all through this build so now it's time for me to breathe
a little again... Maybe a break for a week or two then I will start up something new...

Glad you like it and thanks very much for your comments!!!

Glad you like it and that you appreciate my imagination

I always try to do stuff out of the ordinary and this dio has a bit of humor added to it which
is something that we don't see too much of in this business

Wow, I doubt I could even do that in 1/35.
Absolutly spiffing job old bean.
Masterclass no doubt, must be an award winner
or the judges need shooting!

Thanks Ian!!!

I thought it would be a good idea to include a photo where the size of it could be
shown and instead of putting it next to a paint bottle or someting like that which
could be "edited" in Photoshop I chose to hold it in my hands so you guys would
know that I'm not cheating...

Thanks Mate!!!

It will soon go on tour together with my King Tiger and I will also bring a loaded gun
in case of any judging errors

It will probably be entered in the diorama classes
for most of the competitions and not many have a dedicated class for 1/72 scale
dioramas so they will have to go up against the big boys in 1/35 so they will probably
not win anything but that won't break my heart since they will hopefully get some attention
on the tables anyway...

Glad you like it Stuart!!!

Splendid!
I also thought it was 1/35 until the last pic...

I really liked the B&W photo - makes it both realistic and dramatic.

Scolling down the photos I was thinking 1/35 all the way, till I saw your hands!!!
Really cool.

Take a few photos and submit them as a photo feature. If you have questions, just ask.

Sven-Ake,

WOW!! That's just an incredible build and Dio! I'm like the rest, if I hadn't seen the picture of you holding it in your hands, I would have sworn it was larger than 72nd. And the figures! Amazing...just amazing.

I thought it would be best to add that last photo in case someone doubts the scale

B&W photos always makes it more realistic and I started doing those on my last project
The Fallen King and I will try to do one for each of my coming projects...

WOW! Just like everyone else, I thought it was a really nice 1/35th dio. 1/72nd scale makes it stunning! You have a lot of talent.

I am a bit overwhelmed that so many of you think it's 1/35 scale, makes me really happy to heat that !!!
