Although not much detail can be seen, I really think my favorite is the first one. I like the long grass in the third one, but there seems to be a little something wrong with the mud on the wheels in the fourth one, most probably because of the photograph.

I like them in overall.

Cheers!
Cagin.

HI;

Altough i'm not an expert in diorama building i'd say your dioramas could use some more weathering.
For example the "desert" diorama: I'd "dust" the whole thing,the contrast between figures,vehicle and landscape are to big i think. In the heat of a desert sand poses a real problem,it covers all,gets in the engines,...what i miss in this dio is the heat,the sand,the dirty look.(It could be the pics too). A trick too achieve this efect is the airbrush.Use a lcht yellow colour or tamiya buff and spray it on top op your dio ( no coat,not even a hint of it),it will simulate dust. Another way is to use weathering powders ( Mig Pigments,..).

As is said before i'm not an expert!

First off welcome to Armorama, great to see new people join. There is a lot of information here on building better models and diorama, figures etc. First nice work on your dioramas, but as you will learn here, you will get a lot of feedback on your post of your work.

Now to look at you dioramas ... the photos are a little small hard to get details.
First one, might want to work on the wood color it looks a little to brown, you fellas need a flat coat a little shiny all in all nice work.
Second one .. yep needs dust and a flat coat on the fellas.
Thrid one ... yep grass looks a little 'grouped' and a little tall to me ...
Forth one .. again I agree the mud is a little to bright or something and you fella needs a dullcoat.
The bottom one, very nice flat paint looks real good,

All in all fine work, hope you don't mind the critique but that is kind what this site is all about. Keep up the good work and again, welcome to Armorama!

the first dio is great, the mud on hte forth one, theres a little to much on hte wheels, but the tiger is awsome

on your second set, they look awsome, althought the snow looks fake, what did you use?

Hi All
thanks for the comments

bodymovin- the tiger is 1/72 scale and I free hand painetd it with tamiya (dark yelow), games workshop (scorched brown) and reaper mimiatures (troll flesh) and drybrushed it lightly with tamiya (flat earth) and (reaper miniatures ) woodland brown.

3442- I did this dio about 7yrs ago and I sprayed the area with diluted white glue and then used baby power and shifted it thru a sieve.
