Hi y'all

This is another little update of my first diorama. The figs aren't finished yet (I've trown the heads again in Mr Muscle ) The pants of the fig who's standing needs to be blended. It's a bit too hard.

The grass and the tree needs also be done and around the board there must be sand. So I got a lot of work to. But let me know what you all think of it.

All comment is welcome. Even the negative.







Cheers

Hey Wezz looking good. One comment though...isn't the green color of the blouses too green? It seems to be just about as green as the grass. I would definitely tone it down.

2nd pic down shows a mold seam in the trousers and the jackets are too green. Apart from that good work

Wezz,
Just a thought, a vast portion of the actual members of the Red Ball Express were African-American’s they made up the majority of the enlisted longshoremen, and teamsters for the United States Army. The addition of depicted Black Americans would add an element of generally overlooked detail. Just a suggestion.

I like it! Lots to see in a small vingette..poses on the two sitting guys are great- cant wait to see the heads. I agree with previous comments on the color of the blouses, but looks as though the dio hasnt been weathered yet..
The grass looks great! Maybe add some color highlights to the tree to break up the eveness.
Any plans to add details to the "sitting area"? It would be great to see some coffee cups, old magazines, ashtrays or cig butts.. Looks good and keep posting
