Kuba, you are doing wonders with these details. After all the Humvees you built, it seems you really take pleasure in making a bigger diorama setting.

Maybe You've noticed, that there were no uptades in Humvee itself for a looong time.
That's exactly what I noticed... the setting is almost done, yet the Humvee is still in very early build stages.
It feels as a welcomed change for you as you have been going 'all in' on the building and accessories. I definitely think you are doing a great job and hopefully this means we'll be seeing more Humvee dioramas from you.

Well, I'll disappoint You - this diorama and the M1151 w/SPARK roller vignette are two last things I wanted to build. I've already started selling out what's left in my stash. I never say 'never', but I quit this hobby for now. But let's not start OOT discussion, let's get back to work

Great job! Not sure how I missed this... I enjoyed the photo SBS journey & it's great to see another modern day urban setting. The interior, those doors, floor layout, the vehicle and others details are top notch ! Will follow your WIP closely and looking forward to your next update.
Thanks for sharing !

Don't know how I've missed this either.
Really great work Kuba.

Simply amazing and sorry to read about you stepping away from this afterwards. So, I wish you the best in whatever hobby you get into next

And for the time being, I'll enjoy every step of this build to the last T.

This is truly an amazing scene. The amount of kits, time, money, and effort you devoted to it really shows.
I am constantly amazed at the level of care, dedication, and resources modelers put into creating one scene. You must have spent quite a lot of money on this project, but the result really shows nicely.
Even if you quit this hobby for now, might I suggest that you submit an article for a modeling magazine to showcase this build progress and work? I'm sure there are quite a few modeling magazines that would be honored to showcase your final project for 2017, and you'll get the added benefit of some worldwide recognition, not to mention some cash if published.

Thanks,

Yes, this diorama is quite expensive, but I decided to go all the way. If it will be the last thing in my modelling 'life', let it be hardcore
![](../modules/SquawkBox/images/smilies/smile.gif)
But I doubt whether it is suitable for modelling magazine. Sometimes I read such magazines and I see how amazing showed dioramas could be. Light years from what I did here. Maybe I could show the final result as a feature here on Armorama, if not - I'll be happy to show it in ordinary gallery. Thanks again for Your appreciation.

Hello Kuba, just wanted to add what's been said numerous times already but I'll say it again. Great details you have going on this project. I have enjoyed your journey and your on-going progress. If this is truly your last for whatever reasons then might as well do it as you are doing it - all in! It's looking great and thanks for sharing, looking forward to your next update!

Kuba, these backpacks are Meng resin? I didn't realize they make straps as separate pieces.

Just came across this. First, let me say, you have a fantastic eye for detail. I keep finding things to look at, the mark of a great diorama. The figures look real good, but if I may make a suggestion, the pupils of their eyes could be a little bit larger. They have that "deer in the headlights", wide-eyed stare. I'm looking forward to following along and seeing the finished scene.
