Hi everyone,

Don´t You have sometimes dios in Your mind, that seem literally impossible to build? A tank, for example, "diving" into water, pushing forward a rough water-swirl ... How to build this? Well, a couple of days ago, I began to model a bit of white modeling clay, looked upon it, contemplated a Leo 2 A5 I just had finished, and than a foto in "Amorama" came to my mind (in the modern german section): There a Leo is entering into water exactly the way I was thinking about.
I just began to puzzle and here is the result ...

Nice one ralf,
The photos look really good and the texture of the water is great!Keeo it up!! :-)

Hey Ralph

That is some very nice work you did sir.

Like to do a Dio of Vietnam with either a M-41 or duster coming down the road red earth with jungle veg. all around with say maybe an old temple to the far side covered in vines with steps and stuff or maybe an M-107 changing Firebases and sandbagged in or getting some cleaning by the crew,while enjoying if you can call it that a lul in the action.

I want to do a WWII pacific island aircraft maintenance dio on either a corsair or dauntless. A gun calibration dio would be cool too I think-with the tail of the plan hoisted up.

I've got a couple swirling around..

the Star wars Episode 4 jungle pyramid X-wing hangar complete with maintenance bays and pilot transport

a SF3D maint. bay dio too, using the old Tamiya 1/20 mechanics and several junked or "hangar queen' suits. Ought to be able to pack a lot of detail into a 1/20th dio..

someday..

Mike

Update Yes I have not forgot about the large Kursk Dio but the old lady told me I better wait until we get a little older in case we decide to leave here and move to a different state. Don't want to move all that stuff set up.

Ralf, nice water. Could you describe how you made it?
