At long last, I present for your viewing pleasure ..or displeasure. " Thankyou, pass the donuts". This one seems to have taken forever and as I posted earlier I am happy with the results. I did notice a few areas that need a touch-up..but they will wait a bit..I need a break. All and all it was a lot of fun to build and I touched on a lot of new areas for my skill level. A lot of you great folk here with your advice , skills and encougagement prodded me along and for that I Thank You Without further chatter....here ya go, Hope you enjoy it!









There are also 4 more shots in my GMC gallery. Thanks all again!

excellent dio! looks like those GIs are having a blast

This is excellent! Those figures are some of the best yet!




I love gramps and granny

Nice scene! I like all the details around the farm house, baskets and wood pile and such. The figure painting is great and its neat to see an unusual vehicle.. prob more than a few Red Cross or USO facilities would love to have that for display..Keep up the great work!

Finally!!Congrats on this great dio...the figures are great!!The old couple is awesome!!

Is there anyone inside the clubmobile?

Nice one John. You have really bought this one to life.

Very cool John. It really all comes together with the vehicle on it. And I love the fact that details abound everywhere. Cheers to an awesome Dio!! Kevin

Thanks much all..glad you like it..I seem to go for the quite scenes. Shermie no one is inside but the detail is there.

Good job. The only thing I would change is...NOTHING! :-) You really did a good job on such a unique subject matter. You're right, this one did seem to take for ever, but it was worth it

Looks great John.... Now yous gots someding ta bring ta AMPS..... :-)

i've said it before John

its a masterpiece

the details are awesome: guys playing with dog, guy flirting etc

are gramps and granny the parents of the flirting lady? Gramps doesnt seem too happy with the flirting and i think gramps gonna use that spade to whack that guy silly if he made any moves! :-)

As Kancali mentioned in his post..I do plan on offering it to the local Red Cross here in town..If they don't take it I will keep looking for someone who will. I have no room to display it in my home.




Thanks Dave..I was toying with that idea..Not sure its good enough to do anything special and would hate to embarrass meself

cool idea and great execution on the dio.
Who makes the GI with the shoulder holster leaning?
C.

Wow great dio, the scenary is brillant, but i don' t want to spoil any one critics but something seams not quite correct or i might see it not correctly so if i may make a suggestion there

those are bottles near the 2 soldiers but it seams that the scale is a little big, in 1word aren' t they too big to compair with the soldier

CReading..The figure is by Verlinden ,US Tankers # 1883

Rima, They did seem a tad big, I contribute that to bigger drinkers back then they are suppose to be 1/35.

Ciao John,
Superb!! If you can't find a home for it, try a local military base. I bet that either the Family Service Center or the Welcome aboard center would love it have it! Better yet, contact the PAO and arrange to present it to the base CO.
Ciao for now
Rob

I also did make some bottle of wine 1/35 and it seams that they are a bit different might come from the picture



the laste picture is made macro with flash so it might shine a lot

mmmm,Donuts.

John, cool again...

Now I can stop bugging you about this Dio. You did a fantastic job on it John. All the improvements that you have done over the past few months have paid off in my humble opinion. You have out done yourself. A most hearty BRAVO and THREE CHEERS!!!

That's great John, bravo!!!
Do I remember wrong or in one of the initial posts there was a nice girl (or more than one) inside the Club Mobile dispensing the donuts?
Ciao

Thanks for all the compliments Gents..that alone makes it all worthwhile.

Fabio, Yes she was inside for a time but, is now flirting with a tanker :-)8

A wonderful job John. Makes me proud you are my bro!

PS: Bob, a.k.a. Major W., says it's about time.

PSS: Eli has subsided from maximum expansion.

Thanks Ken, If not for you I may not have gotten back into this madness :-) :-)

Glad to hear StayPuff is De- flating!

Tell Bob to........never mind ...minors are here!
