This is a 1/35 diorama showing a US marine patrol in the jungle of the Solomon Islands.

Excellent composition. A nice mixture of foliage colours and textures too.

Well balanced and pleasing to view, medium range or close up as well. There's a lot of different foliage, colors and textures and w/ those palms creating a convincing backdrop I rather like it. BRAVO!

Indeed! This diorama is worthy of a Military museum! Fantastic work, effort, thought, and overall design. Wow, I really look forward to seeing other settings you could create around your figures. Upload the images to your Kitmaker Gallery for safekeeping as these posts go down and get lost in pages over time.

Very nice diorama, amigo. The faces are excellent as are the water effects, leaves and colors. One minor comment, all the GIs/Marines have their entrenching tools fastened to the left hip. Take note of photos and you will notice that no two GIs/Marines wear their gear the same exact way. Again, a minor point from an old former GI.
I like the snake, also. Nice a creepy touch.

Gerry,
Fantastic piece of work. The water and jungle are very convincing, definitely looks like a place to avoid! I really like the slings, they add that extra touch.
Cheers,
Rick

Amazing diorama.....love the verdant variety of jungle flora you made.....excellent work. The figures also are nicely painted.....their facial expressions are conveyed brilliantly....caution, trepidation, fear, and anxiety are all there.
Bill.
PS: Love the snake in the water.
