here it is! just finished my fourth dio using the mitsubishi evo6 wrc by tamiya just some more finishing touches on the weathering part. i will be glad to get some of your comments and criticizms because im entering all 3 of my rally dios in the IPMS contest here in manila thanks a lot guys!

Fourth Dio

That's awesome! I love the 'caught in the air' look. I didn't see the method by which you have the car suspended...cool.

that was some great work. I also like the caught inthe air look, makes it interesting and wondering how he did that.

Very cool with the airborn action!! I like the fence you made there. Keep em coming!

I fixed your link.

Ok Crismag,

I'm the third guys who admires the airborne touch..... Please tell us how you did that !!

I think it is a photo trick

Looks like someone found a source for "sky hooks". How ever that airbourne effect was done, it's very effective

Very nice !
If you have the time, maybe it would be interesting to wright a little article about tha flying method !

Very nice crismag!

That "flying" effect is so cool, please tell us how you did it. Please don' say it's a photo trick or magic whatsoever

Hey Crismag, your pace of getting models ready is admirable!
Very nice, dynamic dio! And I´m pleased to see you used Tommi Mäkinen´s car for this!
You should name it "The Flying Finn"!

Good job (as always) !

Toni

PS. I found those anti-gravity field generators too in my local supermarket! #:-)

thanks guys for your kind comments i like the sound of that envar, THE FLYiNG FIN! but its mika hakkinens title already, i guess i should call it THE OTHER FLYING FIN your minds and heads must be aching figuring out how i did it is it? the secret? hehehe.... well, i used a thin sheet of clear and thin fiber glass to support the car underneath. this support is hard to see in actuality specially in certain angles. for the photo, i edited it out in photoshop to make the picture more stunning thats the secret

I'll take a peek under that Evo6's skirt during the contest :-)

Very nicely done crismag!

Oh yeah? Next you´ll tell us you took the car from a photo and added it in Photoshop...
It sure looks that good!


Toni

PS. Oh and it´s Flying Finn, with two Ns!

thanks envar for the compliment hnestly thats all i did, edited out the support in photoshop and thats all everything else is part of the diorama

Hey crismag, would you like to share your mud recipe? It would be useful in one of my next projects as I will need icy, snowy and muddy road for it...unless you like to come by and make one for me!



Toni

with this dio though, i made the groundwork using the technique i explained in automotoover but with the addition of real soil. i used a fine garden soil that can be found in local garden shops i applied it by spraying the whole groundwork (after i textured and colored it) with spray adhesive then springkled the soil althrouhout hope this helps.
