Another Russ Sharp aka "SAS" diorama for jour enjoyment !

Russ Sharp is a very talented builder who pleased us more than once with pictures of his high quality dioramas. Again he decided to submit new pictures of a couple of his creations. The pictures of his dioramas are definately worth a visit, so enjoy " Holland " : A British Firefly sits on a Dutch boulavard awaiting new orders

Thanks!

Oh crap...that's it I give up. :-) :-) :-) :-)
great job Russ

SAS is an unbelievable modeller. He has once again put us all to shame.

Why do I even try.............simply beautiful!....something to aspire to I guess.....as if I could even dream of doing as well...........

Thanks very much for the comments guys.I gotta tell you 11charlie,it`s alot easier than it looks! You don`t have to be a rocket scientist to get the same effect,maybe a little artistic value in the weathering department but that`s it! I put the kit together the same way you do,I paint it the same way,well maybe not there,don`t use airbrushes but I wash and drybrush the same way you do! So it boils down to setting and final weathering which is pastels and pigments. Really if you get a system or routine of doing your models and stick with it you`ll find it getting easier the more kits you do. I have been using my system or routine for over 30yrs now and at 52yrs of age I`m at the point where I`ll be damned if I change what works!
Don`t get let down or frustrated with what everyone else is accomplishing plug on,no one gets there overnight.
Good luck!

No wonder they used to think we were in competition Russ - every time I post a new model a few days later there's another Russ masterpiece! LMAO :-) I just can't get on with pastels, reckon good old humbrol will do for me.
Really like this simplistic approach mate - nice one.

No problems Dave,the next excursion you take to our fair city we`ll dive into the pastel work and figure it out for you,it`ll be fun.

Russ- well done as usual. I can't wait until I get as old as you look so I can go full time building models. Keep up the great work.
