thanks

Zach,

the diorama looks very good. Don't forget to finish the edges (sides) of the diorama / base.

The dio itself looks very good as far as I can see it. Maybe add some details to it like shells, small caliber rounds, cola bottles / cans etc.... just my two cents.

Oh and about the bricks.... in the formation they are in now they wouldn't last for half an hour. If you can, redo them and pile them like this :



It's even better to use sandbags in stead of bricks.

I really like the light beard look on the soldier, how did you get that effect?

Sean

nice vignette Zach. as you told photos are not clear but the overall looks good .congrats.I agree the beard effect is very good done

THANKS FOR ALL THE COMPLIMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS I'M GOING TO ADD "MUD" IN BETWEEN THE "CINDERBLOCKS" AND ADD MORE PERSONAL STUFF (IRAQI'S MOST WANTED PLAYING CARDS(TAKES PLACE IN 2003), CIGARETTE PACKS, SF HELMETS WITH FLAGS ON BOTH SIDES, AND AN EXTRA M4 RIS, PLUS A COUPLE OF S.P.E.A.R. PACKS, MRE'S, AT-4, AND WATER CANS.

I DID THE BEARD AFFECT WITH BURNT UMBER LIGHTLY THINNED WITH WATER (SO THAT MEANS ITS ACRYL ) AND I JUST FOLLOWED THE NATURAL PATTERN OF HAIR GROWTH (BY LOOKING IN THE MIRROR *REMINDER TO SHAVE* ) AND I DID THE EYEBROWS THE SAME WAY BUT WITH THE LITTLE METAL PLUG THAT COMES WITH TESTORS "BOTTLE" GLUE

ZACH

BTW DID ANYONE NOTICE (ITS HARD TO TELL CAUSE THE CRAPPY PICS) THE SF INSIGNIA AND THE NAME TAPES ON THE GUYS?

edit** the beard paint was model masters skin tone dark not burnt umber

Nice work, medic! I like the detail on the figures....too bad the pics are so unclear! :-)

i know its my first TRUE diorama so i'll be going to my buddy's house cause he's a much bette rphotographer than i am

Sorry buddy but even knowing the nametags and insignia are there, the pics are too blurry to see them.

lol i knew that would be the case

oh well



time to get a better camera
