Very cool idea, i really like your diorama! do you have some in-progress pictures? What kind of glasses does the insurgent wear? They look a little bit strange

This is a brilliant bringing to life of the photograph. I think you have made a really interesting scene here. I like the way you have expanded the scene from the picture and have included a nice street corner complete with advertisements and bright paintwork as well as a very cluttered street- it really adds a nice bit of context to the scene. The figure is done really well too- you can see him leaning to move the gun in the makeshift shopping cart-mount with the bricks in the bottom. The facial expression is also spot-on too under the goggles. Really nice work Charles!

By the way- is the shop-front scratch-built?

Long time no see Charles. This is a nice and original build to return with, nice work as usual.

Looks pretty cool. Where did the shopping cart come from?

I really like this diorama a nice change from the usual ones we do. It has got me thinking out of the box for a diorama in the future. The garbage bags and HVAC pump look almost perfect. Thanks for sharing you work.

Very cool idea for a scene way out of the ordinary for sure!! Well done as well,like Karl already so eloquently pointed out.
My only suggestion would be about the placement of his head. I think it would look better if it was tilted back more,as now,when viewed from the side,he looks like his focus is on the ground. This may be why one guy already said the googles look a bit weird?
Very nicely done dio!

I love this diorama
the guys glasses and hat look a little off but you did a great job on the scene

This is really unique & re-creates the photo pretty well. As to the goggles & hat, my view is that this guy is trying to man-handle & fire a large caliber weapon, balanced on a wobbly shopping cart, and it's all he can do to just keep it upright. Ergo the goggles/hat appear to be sliding off. Overall, a very neat scene!

Wasn't that original photo a screen-shot from a really bad zombie apocolypse movie?

Hey Gharles, this is a great break from the ordinary military figures we see. A lot of civilians have taken up arms in the defence of thier country or belifes. I remember the picture and you have captured the total essence of it. Everything on your base keeps the eye wondering around to search out all the goodies you have placed about. My only point of fixing would be the hat on his head. Two ways to correct it. #1 File or cut down the curve of the head so the ends of the hat sit around it or, #2 which is a P.I.T.A. is to hallow out the hat to fit better. Your figure is not bad from what I can see, and you are right with your statement, it will get better as you go. I have been doing dio's for some 20 years and am still not totally happy with them. But as I look back on a few of my older dio's I see the progress going forward. I guess practice does make perfect. Anyway, a very nice dio. Just looking at it, the story is clear, modeling is good and your colors don't clash. Every thing blends in well. I will have to check out Hauler's web page cause that shopping cart is just cool as all gets. I was dreading the thought of scratch building one for my zombie dio, you just took care of that problem for me. Once again, your dio is very well done and you should be proud of it and you talents. bob d.
