hey all

i am pleased to say that i finally finished my arnhem diorama. I decided to call it ' A Foreign Field', taken from the rupert brooke poem. the fotos have been posted in my gallery in the members area, and are : top right 2 pics page1, 1st pic page 2, and bottom 2 pics page 3.

as always comments welcome, again thanks for all the help!

cheers, alpha

diorama no.2 on its way soon...!

Hi. Think you have done a fantastic job here. Esp. with the addition of the parachute. Very nice layout. Well thought out and positioned. Just curious what you made the parachute out of. Paper, or a cloth material?

Take care, sgirty

Alpha - very well done. It came out very nicely.
On the Side Shot on page 3 - if you could photoshop the 1:1 gray concrete stuff out (maybe copy paste the green 1:1 grass over it) it would look really good as an overall photo. The photo of the diorama is really nice.

sgirty - I think Alpha used some type of plastic wrap for the chute. I'm sure he'll fill us in .

hey guys thanks for the opinions - as for the parachute yep it was made out of a thin plastic bag, & painted with acrylics. it was ideal to use as it was easy to cut, fold and paint, it was positioned with pva glue/whiteglue. Sorry about the picture quality - my camera isnt too great think i might use my 35 mm next time.

thanks for the encouragement - i wasnt too confident with doing this dio ( its my 1st in about 13 years!) but now im definately hooked. Ive got two more kits, a flanzer wirbelwind and tamiyas feldkuche (field kitchen) set, and was planning a more 'urban' dio around that...

thanks all speak later
alpha

Nice work there Alpha, it came out really nice. As i have told u before for some more dramatically point i d hang the parachute from the electricity pile but thats just an idea. You ve done a really nice work

Alpha I really like the work, the layout is really well thought out...keep up the good work

Hey guys

thanks for all the comments! great encouragement - ive started on dio no2 and hope to post pics shortly.

cheers all
