Istvan, Really well done diorama. I especially like the use of the resurrected 7-TP. That is a really nice way to add an older kit into a new work.

Istvan, something you didn't talk about is the graphic you applied to the end piece of the box that the scene is built into - how was that done? Is it just a stencil, hand cut with a knife then sprayed?

Thanks guys for your nice comments, and I also would like to thank Matthews great work on editing the feature
Yes, Matthew, I have used a stencil, cut from vinyl (I'm lucky, at my workplace we have such cutting machine) airbrushed with light tone. I tried to achieve some kind of "Banksy style graffiti" feel, so I did not fully sprayed the dark base over.

Ah, that explains it - I was thinking it looked a bit too good for a hand-cut stencil! Thanks.
