...will portray a Libyan mechanic working on the rocket launcher. Now I am not so good with figures so I am working hard on trying to paint them to look right. I am still waiting for the mechanic figure. As it is the dio is about 98% ready. Hope you guys like it. Pics are not in any particular order.

Holy cow man!!! That is brilliant! Lots of nice work went into that dio.

I was overwhelmed, but managed to pick out the wanted poster! Nice touch to an extraordinary build! The truck is very believable.

Hi ti (no pun intended!)

With the first pic filling my screen I was almost fooled into believing it to be full scale. The only thing giving it away was the twisted strands of long moss (that I use myself that's why ).

As realistic as it can become!!

Big felicitations on a brilliant job!! Really impressive and very inspirational!!

Cheers

Romain

OUTSTANDING

Thanks for looking gents. It's been a while but life takes a hold of a person sometimes.

Just exellent!!!
I've seen some backyards that look just like it.Minus the rocket launcher. The clutter,weathering is so well done.It looks like the mechanic may have to also do some work on the truck to get it running or just take the launcher.Looking forward to seeing him added.You should be very proud of a work done so well.

Tom

Thanks for the comments Tom. Much appreciated.

Really well done! I like all those colours.

This moss will yellow very soon, so I hope you painted it at least some green

Claude

Tanks. Yes. They are conserved with special liquid.

Hi Charles,

Fantastic looking dio, love all the colours & weathering certainly something to aspire too!!

Cheers Mike

hej granne,
This looks very good. very realistic indeed.
Where does the moped come from?

I am not at home at the moment but will check the name of the kit maker when i get back. Thanks everyone for the support.

The moped is from Dio Park. Now all i need is to buy my first airbrush. I think my spray cans are almost over.

I really like this! The attention to detail is incredible. Excellent job!

Thanks for the info on the moped.

You did this work with spraycans???

Thanks. Yes. I have done all my work (see my profile for all my models). Will eventually buy an AB soon. Been living in an apartment for a very long time and did not want to get one due to space. But that will soon change.

BTW, the diorama is made on an old tree stum.

Dude forget the figures, that is damn near perfect. Well done.

Hahahaha...Thanks. I think I will try one to start with, to see how it fits in.

Very nice Charles. Love the ground work ... this is something you add to your bases that add so much to the final display. All the details are great. Those jumper cabels look a bit over scale though? Still think you should keep workling on figures ... the only thing left to master!!

Thanks Frank. The cables are 1/35, at least according to the package. I agree though but if you know of a better version please let me know.

Ok guys. The figures have now been added with a dog and his water bowl. Please go easy on me as this is my first major work with figures. As you all know, I have been shy about painting figures due to my inexperience. So here are the pics.

I don't see nothing wrong with them?
Could we have some close ups? I'd like to see their faces and fleshtones.

I am far from an expert on figures,but I think they look good too.Brings an already exellent dio to life.

Tom

Thanks. Will get some close ups later.
