There, fixed it.

There you go Marcos! I don't know why they put that stupid gun in that set in the fist place!

Hi Marcos - wow! Your project looks great! The rubbish and bits of debris turned out very well. Your hard work with many subtle layers is really paying off!

Cheers
Nick

Done with the street vendor:

Looking just great Marcos.
Love the street vendor,but couldn't get my eyes off how real the bananas look.

Finnished with the civilians:

Setting up inside the shop:




Outside on the street:



And this is where the SUV will go:

I am still missing the ceiling fan, cement bags and so on the roof, and the SUV. And I also need to place the stop/warning sign on the jersey barriers. By the way, I am thinking of calling this dio "Sniper!". Any suggestions?

close up test! ouch!

I wouldn't say ouch Marcos.
Close ups are very good.
My only concern would be with some of the eyes.
Maybe a little too much white and the pupils on some are a bit large.
I'm far from the person to give advice on figure painting, my biggest and I know, not only downfall.
I did find a while ago artist markers that come in an extremely fine tip.Just a touch for the pupils is enough.
Also works good for eyebrows and helmet straps.
Just a thought.
Looking forward to your finish,but have to admit I kinda hate to see you finish.Always look forward to seeing your progress.

Tom

Thank you Tom! I have to practice more on my eyes. Next project I am sure they will be better. Has anybody built the Takom SUV?

Hey Marcos,
Haven't done the SUV,but did the BMW.
Not great on the fit of parts.

Tom

Having the same problem.

Wow! This diorama is coming along quite nicely. I really like all of the effort you put into the interior of the store as well as the small details outside like the trash, etc.

What year is this diorama supposed to depict? Just wondering because of the two Marines taking cover behind the barrier wearing MICH helmets.

I am glad to see that there are no shell casings on the ground as all of the weapons have their ejection port covers closed indicating rounds haven't been fired in return yet.

Again, you are doing a great job with this diorama and I really like the details you are putting into it. It is almost like I can walk right in the store and look around...you know, after the firefight is over and all:)

Cheers,
James

Wow my friend, u have a great eye for details. Awesome build.

hello
the dio ist very very nice !!!
bye

Thank you all for your comments. And thank you for stoping by to see the progress.

Great dio Marcos.

Your skills in the peripheral "clutter' are brilliant. Nice moment in time.

Well done! Nick

Thank you Nick.

I have been working on the Takom SUV. I have two words to describe it: Terrible fit!



As an example: The front doors, once you set the windows in place, won´t close!




Pretty frustrating

Hi Marcos - disappointing to hear about the fit problems with the Takom SUV - I'm going to build it myself soon so very interested to see how you get on with it.

PS - the dio is awesome - the detailing on the shop is fantastic.

Hi Marcos,
Had a lot of problems with fit on the BMW.
Right down to placing the figure. Still on the shelf for now.
I had trouble even trying to get the windshield to fit.
Box art looks great, quality, not there. Probably my last purchase from them.
Will the doors open work for you?
It's a shame you've come so far to get hung up on that.

Tom

And to top it all the damn SUV just fell off my worktable! I swear it is jinxed!

Ouch! sorry (Usually I drop each part separately on the floor during assembly. One part at a time. Ooops! Seems like part of the process anymore)

Great build so far!
