Hi everyone

Just thought I share my first ever diorama with you guys. It is called Gotcha, simply because it consists of a group of GIs interrogating 2 VC suspects in a raid. Please visit my photo gallery to view my progress

good building looking forward to seeing more

muhammad here are your pictures for you. I really like the look of the roof, what did you use for it?

Darren

Thanks for uploading the photos on the main forum. With regards to the hut, I used bamboo skewers for the supports, and cocktail sticks for the doors and windows. The roof was constructed from a broom bristles, and the walls were made from old armchair fibre. The coconut trees were scratchbuilt as per Chas Young's and Thanan's tutorials.

Hi all

Finally my Gotcha diorama is completed. I used Tamiya's M113 and animals, and Dragon figures to complete the scene. The hut, shed and coconut trees are scratchbuilt as previously mentioned.
Unfortunately I was not able to upload the photos on the main forum after several attempts. Should anyone could guide me it would be much appreciated. I even tried to use the guide from the user support page but to no avail.
Also please feel free to leave any feedback

All you need to do to add photos is go to your photo album and click on the pic you want to add to make it bigger. Now, right click on the image and select properties. This will open a smaller box. Copy the Address line starting with http:.. and ending with .jpg. In your post, click on the [ i m g] tab below the text box and you will get the following: [i m g]http://put.url.here /image. file[/ img]

Now paste the picture address into the place where it says http:// put url here/ image.file. It will look like this:

[im g]http ://gallery .kitmaker.net/data/500 /100_0604. JPG[ /i m g]
Only w/out spaces. When the spaces are removed, you get the picture.







It looks very good. Good job on the hut and the figures. One small tweak on the M113A1 and it will be even better. The rear lights are off. Only the upper left oval should be red. The right side has two slits, like on the modern M113A3 below.



I would also add some personal items inside the hut so it looks lived in. Maybe a bedrole, cooking items, clothing, rice sacks, lantern, etc. Other than that, good job.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. With regards to the photo uploading, when right clicked to enlarge the selected photo there was no tab for Properties....hence I was not able to proceed further. However I will try again in the near future and hopefully it'll work

Hi, this is a good dio. Obviously your scratched items make it good. Well done!

My comment would be the tracks. Your imprint in the ground is smaller then the tracks.

Cheers
Claude

Hi Claude

Thanks for the comment. I must admit that I did not realise about the tracks until the groundwork was completed. Once again thanks for the observation.........cheers

Very nice work and what a brave chicken to be contently sitting there while the dog inspects the hooch. Really like the trees and the hut.

Hi Alfred

Maybe the chicken were too mesmerised with the ongoing scene that they forgot about the dog....lol

Maybe she was stoned. There was a lot of that going on those days. .....Al
