Thanks!

That's all kinds of cool, great stuff!

Great job. I like the subject matter. Sometimes every day things are the most interesting. Nice work on the painting and weathering. It is a fantastic little look into daily Egyptian life.

I liked this. Although on the margins, I thought the vegetable seller and the guy on the bike were pretty cool.
I hear you about the artist background. I'm certainly no artist but I remember Doug Lee once saying that diorama builders should think "artistically". I took from that that good diorama's engage the viewer's emotions in a way the people, setting and vehicles on their own could not.
Again, nice job. HD.

Fantastic work Hussein - I just spent 10 minutes (that’s a lot in diorama-time) looking round your street, wonderful details everywhere. Who knew you can buy Heinz Baked Beans over there?! I particularly like your figures, obviously they’re “posed” but they look more like they would in a “real” photograph, rather than dummies in a shop window - making those small difference is hard to do but you did it, bravo.

Great work Hussein, we can tell a lot of thought, planning and effort went into this.

You brought Egypt to us! Great job.
Everything just feels right in your Dio!
