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.

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.
