HI!
mmm, This is my latest dio.
Well, the panther is from dragon (straight from the box)
with a litle add-on net for camo.

the figure are all from dragon (my favorite model co. of course)
with one custom made guy (pointing his hands out) from my spare box.

i guess the pics are not that clear but this is the best i can gve you so far using my mini dv cams still image mode. wanna get a new digital camera soon.

thanks sirs!

The figures blend in perfectly with the enviroment, good job!

hi..nice dios.. i like the trees, where u got all the trees ?..did u make it by your self ??
good job

Decent photos,not bad....
I like the layout - the figures are nicely positioned and really add to the 'feel' of the diorama.
I like the camo on the Panther.
One thing I see is a few seam lines on the arms of the figures. This is something we all struggle with eliminating - sometimes you just can't see them. Not a distraction overall.

Can't wait to see your next one.

Hey that is really good! I am very impressed! Keep up the good work.

And those trees, How?

hi, good job, the camo on the panther is great and I like the barbed wire!!!!Great dio, I hope to see more pics in the future from other dio's!

I think your diorama is great, particularly like the layout. I think your figures blend in very well with the terrain. I second the call for an explanation of how you made the trees, as well as the groundwork.

WOW!

Very nice work!
But the camo-net on the panther seems a little bit displaced, 'cause the gunner can't see anything

But the figures are awesome! Great work!
At all, a very nice diorama! Like to see some better photos

u did a really nice job on this dio.
the tanks looks great and the men do bend in nice

thanks evryone..

The trees ehh...
I was hanging around some shoping mall and came across this new housing area model display.
i was impressed with the model, i studied the tree and try it back home.
For the big tree, i took some of my moms dried branches put it all together...then i took some dried decoration plant and Blend it. yes using an old blender.
Sprinkled it on the dried branches (sprayed with white glue)
and wallah...quite messy jod but it looks okay when i put it in the dio.
its the same with the smaller trees and bushes. but i used dried branch and grass roots.

for the base, the usual way, plaster of paris and lots of glue and paint.
need to learn more from you guys. thanks

A good one Sicktunez!

I think the positioning of elements and the general layout is perfect. I also like the overall "messy" look, it makes the figures and the tank blend nicely in the scenery. The figures lack a bit detail and they look like you made them very fast, but in this case I dont think it matters. I prefer nice overall look over super(over?)detailed dioramas with no sign of life. Like watching a good painting, it feels like there is more than meets the eye.

Only thing I´d change would be better framing. If you put some effort in really nice frames it will boost this dio a lot and make it look more professional and finished!

Could you take some more pics in natural light? It would be nice to see, these pics don´t do justice to your dio.

Great job.

Overall i would rate this quite high... the tank looks well done, and the layout and accoutrements (ie, barbed wire and terrain!) are quite well done.

To help with the "seams" where your arms join the shoulders, I highly recommend using the TAMIYA PUTTY, diluted with liquid glue. This will give you a very syrup-consistancy material that you can "paint" into the joints, and then sand and prime before painting. If you use the putty straight from the tube, I find it too thick and gooey (although it works well for plaster buildings and terrain). You can also stain it with acrylic paint, and use it to add "mud" to the boots of figures and the tread area of the tank.

Still - I think this is a well done piece you can be proud of!

Nicely done. I like the way you positioned your figures.
