Sorry, my english is so bad that may be you misunderstand me; the dio is finished, you can check it at "On display models", look for "Seal Team at Mekong Delta", or at my picture gallery.

I tried to say in my first post that I will not send more pictures of "old" dioramas till I get advanced in my new diorama (with a flying OH-6 Vietnam helicopter, Dsk machine gun pit and NVA running soldiers) .

Thank you very much.

Absolutly wonderful csago. . I love the amount of detail in such a small space, it looks really 'busy' without being cluttered. The little touches really do it, the stock of the granate launcher, the 'instructions' on the LAW, and the faces of the figures.... And the camo of the uniforms.. and the water. And those dials. And the ammo belts. Francois is right, it makes you wish that you could see it for real. There are only two things I noticed, the grey junglehat doesn't looks as well detailed as the rest, and the outlining of some of the equipment looks a bit thick, a wash would be more subtle. But hey, that's me, and I can only try (and hope) to make something as good as this

Cheers

Thank you very much for your kind words.
About the outlining, ok, I know it, I´ll try to be more subtle next time, but you must know these were the first figures I painted with acrilic paints (and the first figures after a stop period of about 9 years...)

Thanks again to everybody.

Santiago

P.S. My experience tells me that always a model look far better in a good picture...
