Built in 1/100 scale from obscure japenese kits.not sure it fits in here but its interesting and different scratch built building the trees from scotch pads and kebab sticks.tracked transport from the series U.F.O. I found it hard to find anything in 1/100 and this works quite well.
Any and all comments welcome good and bad.thanx for looking.

That is... not what I was expecting to say the least, LOL

Looks good, and I see why it was done in 1/100. The figures look pretty good for this scale, and I agree that the scotch pads worked pretty well. Amazingly they seem to look better as you get closer, not an easy feat by any means!

@noodels-Sean,

First off, Welcome! Second, your in the correct forum. Your creation is very interesting and well thought out. I think this is the first time I've seen anyone use scotch brite for trees? But the effect you achieved with this product is convincing. The photographs you selected to share with us here look like stills right out of a science fiction film.

I like what you have done and hope to see more of your. Keep up the creative work and thanks so much for sharing your work here.

Hello and welcome.

Very nice diorama, it reminds me of the time I was playing mechwarrior and mechcommander on the PC!

I'd love to build a mech model, but I did a quick search in ebay but did not find any mechwarriors kits. Can you tell where can we get one?

Cheers, P.A.

Thanx for the replys its good to know people take an intrest.
The mecks are very old and dont think there available anymore.they were available in 1/100 and 1/144 scale.i also have a small diferent dio in 1/144 scale. recon youl be lucky to find them these days there from an old japanees anime from around the eightys xabungle.the figures are architecture figures the only ones i could find in 1/100 scale.
the trees are scotch pads picked and pulld apart then streched over kebab sticks sprayed black hairspray coverd in ground cover light dusting of sand there not brill but they work
Thank you for looking and commenting.
