Colin... in the "About The Author" box, why does it say my name? I wish I had something to do with this great piece of work, but I didn't!! I hope you can still fix that.. it's Hussein's diorama.

Now, after saying that... congratulations, Hussein, on finishing this great piece of work.. I love everything in it.. you did a great job building that "building under construction".. please congratulate Ahmad on this piece.

Hisham

I have corrected the issue and will shoot the editor.

My apologies to Hisham and Hussein! I had a brain fart, must have been lightheaded after my blood donation.... . Darren, please aim for an appendage.

Thanks for fixing it, Darren... as to people getting shot, that's up to Hussein

Hisham

Very nice. The scene looks great. Good job on it.

Thanks guys, it was a minor issue. No wild shootings required lol. Peace to all

this war was a idf victory.

yeah the IDF kicked ass

For those interested the building made of plaster is from the company M.M.A. Middle East Modeling Accessories, they make excellent middle east diorama stuff designed & made by Ahmed Kammourieh in Lebanon.

what color do you use for painting concrete?

Hi, superbly done. Congratulations. Hope we see more of your work. Kip.

Hi Richard
I used Tamiya Grey paint followed by several layers of light black wash and mud, dust & sand pigments. I am travelling now so I will check the exact color code once back home.
Cheers
Hussein

Thank you Kip

Really Nice work. Looks like you captured a moment in time perfectly. Thanks for sharing you work, you have given some new ideas in diorama creation to think about in the future.

Beautiful diorama !
