I think this diorama can be called finished. Although, I am still adding small details here and there still; and tuning the weathering on one or two of the figures. But here are some photos of diorama in its entirety since the last time I uploaded, under a different title. I have been struggling with it because of my figure painting skills over the two year period. I was never satisfied with the results, which always ended up being put aside until I could improve my skills. So here it is with another added, two figures. The theme is simple. Somewhere in Iraq, a group of insurgents are running towards a fight, to help their fellow comrades. Just has they run by the corner of the building, a freelance photographer is kneeling around the corner taking their photos, which in turn will be sold to the ‘TIMES’ magazine.

Yes Charles, great job!
You can put the bat down now, this turned out very cool! I admire the guys who submit dios and figures dealing w/ current times, modern subjects.

Cheers

Interesting concept & very nicely executed! Really nice detailing on all those exposed utility cables/wires.

It's not 100% perfect, but it has the look.
