Here's two quick pics I took of my new diorama immediately after I finished it. Look for an article on the construction of this mini-dio with lots more pictures coming soon.

Nice and well done dio, Folgore
Keep up the good work

Nice.......Just hope that camel doesn't spit.

Hi Nic,

Nice work.


Will it go out the way ?

Very nice !
I like your little dirt road very much.

It's a beauty Folgore.

How did you do the groundwork ? Look's darn realistic to me !!

All questions will hopefully be answered in the article I am currently writing about this project. Thanks for the encouraging words, everyone.

Nic

Very nice Nic. A beautiful example of where less says more! :-)

That's not fair ! Showing us this great work and telling us that explainations are soon to come...
Come on, type, type faster !!!

Well done, Folgore!
One amusing detail catched my eye...I think the camel has exactly the same expression in its face as the Topolino! Like watching in mirror!


This kind of things make me laugh internally.

Toni

Good job Folgore. fresh meat Tonight!!

nice job folgore !!!!! where did you take that camel??
keep the good work!!!!!!!!

The camel came in a pack of two made by Verlinden. They cost $45 CDN and took me 1.5 months to get. They must not be the most popular subject to model.

Nic

wow your right not a usual subject!!! they look realistic though

wow nice job this dio is really nice

Nice Falgore.... and a very interesting "storyline" - quite original!

Nic,
Great job!! Are you planning on showing this dio off at any upcoming events?

Can I make a reccomendation too? If you shoot more pics try going out side (as the subject is clearly in the desert this effect should be even better). Natural light does wonders, esspecially if you can get a nice blue sky day for the backdrop.

Cheers,
Jim

Thanks Jim. I am planning on taking the pictures in the backyard, with a white backdrop, today. Once they're ready, I'll send them and the article in. The article will cover and explain some of the new techniques I used when making this diorama, as well as review Model Victoria's Topolino, of course. I'm hoping people new to building armour and/or dioramas will find the article useful.

Nic

Nic,
Cool. Will look forward to posting it. I can try adding a desert backgroud image with sand dunes and the like on one of them if you'd like.

Cheers,
Jim

Sure Jim, that would be cool for the title page or something. Hope to get those pics to you today, as soon as I figure out how to zip them. Never tried it before.

Nic

So that is where yo put the Camel. Great job. Patiently waiting for the article.
