Rus Sharp (SAS) makes a quick start in 2005. Russ submitted another series of high quality dioramas. Here''s the first of the new series : "Lost in the Bavarias" ; An early winter scene with a little gothic theme.

Enjoy !!

Thanks!

Another great dio. Does this man ever work or sleep as he seems to pop out a new dio every other day , i,m not complaining as they are wonderfull to look at.

Another example of the attention to detail that I've come to love in Russ's work over the years that I've known him.

Andy - like me Russ can kick in quite a few hours work in a day, and then not do anything for a bit, then get back into top gear again! Seems as if it's a never ending stream of these dios, but there are a few gaps - he does eat occasionally!

Russ is a modelling freak! (in a good, but twisted kind of way)

Awesome work again Russ!!

Once again my reply is...
Very nice Russ.... very nice

Great work ... again Russ! I love the really worn tarps .. they really look like they´ve taken a serious beating. nice texture also. What have you used for this??
I dont think you´ll hear any complaints about knocking dios of this quality out! Nice one!!

Another stunning dio from the master SAS. The man is a legend.

Yes, my compliments, great work all round

well i think thats a really nice small tight scene modelled nicely and with all needed skills. Bravo

It's amazing to think what's in that head of his, new ideas on a daily basis! Great great great!
Wait till you see what he's working on now! :-)

Thanks very much for your kind comments,I appreciate
them all. Why do I have so many dios to share with you all,well because of medical circimstances I now have all the time in the world to build and I`m having a blast.
Granted some of the pieces were built quite a few years ago and yes some are not as acurate as they should be but I`m havin fun,hell at 52yrs of age with poor eyesight I better be havin fun. My newest Canadian Truck dio is almost complete so it`s on with the next idea!
Oh yea,the tarps,I just made them out of tissue,proably should have used something a little thicker as standard tissue disolves in water so you might want to keep that in mind.
cheers
A little PS for interest sake,most of my ideas come from period photos from the net,I don`t own any reference books at all,so I either see it or I use logic.
