Very nice diorama. Nice subject, very different.
The plants and such in the front are splendid.
Composition carries this very far.
Well done.

Very nice and well executed diorama. The topic is also quite unusual although very interesting. I would hate to be in the drug dealers' shoes on that one.

Very well done dio here
The vegetation is especially good though, nice and varied.
I would also like to echo that the vegitation is some of the best jungle flora I have ever seen.
Nice work!

Whoa! The ME for Dioramas and the Head Cheese (aka Editor-in-Chief) himself. To both fo you and the rest of you guys thank you very much but like I said the credit should go to the members of this forum. Me I'm just the freeloader.
The dio was also inspired that fact that there are men and women out there quietly putting their lives on the line everday with no fanfare, no ticker tapes and most of the time no medals. The military have been used for many humane and worthwhile causes but it just too bad that the press portrays them mostly as warmongers. Sorry if I got too preachy. It just blows my mind when I think these guys could fly half a continent away, shut down something like a drug plant and be back home for breakfast just like most of us and that would be their normal day. Its like the wife asking what you did today and you'd reply, "Oh the usual stuff, had some trouble with the boss, went for a beer with the guys and saved the world".
Mr. Editor-in-Chief you've made my week and possibly the month cos your enhancement of one of my photos is fantastic. I can just hear the wife when I show her the pic, "This can't really be your dio?".

Well what to say . Its a very nice dio and i wonder how i missed that !! Nice theme nice story, super execution. Your expertise on plant preserving has payed off my friend and u have done awsome work on the foliage. Figure placing is mice and also all these small details make this one totally different.
Bravo well done !!!!!
I am expecting next one from u !!!
