Just had to say I am loving all of this work. I cannot believe how ambitious a project it is with all of the models, the interiors, the figures and of course the landscaping to come.

In the time you have been building, all I have managed to do is get myself psyched for to tackling a single vehicle, without figures and no planned diorama!

Great modelling and enjoyable reading. Keep going!

Quite the undertaking. I'm enjoying your work

Thank you for the encouragement! Sorry for the delay, crunch time got crazy but I did finish it in time! I designed and built a table with CAD, then went about actually cutting the wood and building the monster. After that, foam went down followed by AK Resin water and ice.

I graduated with my Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree (Summa cum laude!) and for my capstone exhibition, I included this piece. Modeling is a major creative outlet for many veterans, even if they don´t realize it. I wanted this piece to prove to both the veteran and art communities that it was a legitimate form of visual art.

The past year and over 1000 hours of work culminated in 7 vehicles, 80 figures, an absurd amount of plaster and paint, 1 custom display table, and a diorama that I´m quite proud of.

Before the final pictures are posted, I´d like to thank each one of you who took time out of your day to view my work, those who offered helpful feedback and encouragement, and I´d be remiss without crediting my wonderful wife for her patience and encouragement to see this through. The diorama was a major hit at the reception, with hundreds of people all leaning in to look for small details and stories contained within the larger picture. It is my hope that some of them walked away with a much greater appreciation for the craft.

This piece now belongs to the 3rd Infantry Division museum in Fort Stewart.

Nice job!

That's an impressive amount of work and it looks cold :-)

Some nice "stories withn a story" too.

Excellent stuff.

Cheers

Very nicely done, Sir! I love the sub-vignettes... and it’s obvious why those present would lean in to savor your work.

Cheers!🍺

So impressive, congratulations to you and great to know it has a good home – hope it’ll get a Perspex cover or it’ll be the dust-trap from hell! It sure is legitimate visual art and, as you hinted, with significant therapeutic benefits & not only for vets! What's next?

I love seeing this have the home it does. Such a great piece of art and appropriately displayed - the small individual scenes adds to the realistic representation of the "big picture" within the full scene

Nicely done!

Really nice work. Glad to see that it will be displayed where lots of people can appreciate and enjoy it. Well done.
