Pete Becerra shows a stack of photos of his elaborate yet compact multi-vehicle and multi-building diorama. He''s built in quite a sense of suspense.

From what I can see, the dio looks terrific. Nice job on the buildings and vehicles with great attention to detail. The weathering is perfect but the GI's are superbly done. The painting is top notch and I really like the guy in the half track with the red scarf/t-shirt, nice touch.

Outstanding diorama. What I really like is that the figures and what they are doing makes sense. Guys are moving forward on the ground, checking things out, coordination is being made (map group), guys in vehicles are looking around, etc. Sometimes you see dioramas where the figures, vehicles, and structures look outstanding in terms of construction and painting, but what the figures are doing doesn't make much sense in regards to the environment they are in. Great job!
Cheers,
James

Superior diorama! Reminds me of Shep Paine's work. Very busy in a compact area with lots of open space that keeps it from looking cluttered. Excellent painting of the flesh tones and uniforms and, for me, highly effective weathering.

Just a great job.
I can't find the tank riders anywhere.
Excellent job on painting the figures and everything on the whole.
