Kevin brings us a great diorama in the mid-carpathians area. This diroama entitled Dir Pressung (The Squeeze) shows of his talent for color, detail, and overall composition.

Check this feature out - don''t forget to check out the gallery (linked on page 4)... There are many more photos that just wouldn''t fit in the feature and needed a place to be shown.



Feature and more

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

I am so glad to see Kevin made this awesome diorama a feature. Not only the perfection of built but also taking 500+ photos is incredibly good. IMHO this article can be a part of a modelling book.
Thanks Kevin

Fantastic. Even with all my years of practice I'd never hope to acheive this standard! Have a cyber beer on me, and a few more for the other members that helped you out with stuff.

Very Nicely Done ... Excellent work here, and very informative.

Bryan

Bloody good mate, i think ive complimented you enough times for this one :-) but its great to see it here.
cheers

Kevin,

Most oustanding! My only questions are,

did you use the new Tam PZ III?

All tracks are SOB also?

again great job!

Guys, thanks for all the posetive comments, I had a great time building and documenting the build on this. I am very glad everyone likes it. Puma112, the PzIII is the tamiya PzIIIL and all the tracks are out of the box.
I would also like to extend a special thanks to Scott(Slodder) for busting his butt trying to get this article up and running. Thanks Scott!! Again everyone thanks for the comments. Cheers Kevin

Kevin - the pleasure was mine. I was amazed by the photos.
If any member can I'd recommending seeing this in person. I wish I could, maybe someday.

Cheers

Kevin thats just beautiful, everywhere you look there is something going on and all detailed to the hilt. From whatever angle you look at it there is something dressed out to see, personally that is what I think makes a great dio like your museum piece here. Seperate little things going on to compliment and make up the whole, a snapshot in time from WWII. - Cheyenne

Are there really any words to describe this diorama. Great, outstanding, Super..to me these words don't do it justice. I have watched this creation practically first hand , through all the blood, sweat , and tears if you will, and i know how much hard work and effort went into this. As others before me have said..it is truely a masterful creation. Congratulations Kevin..Job Well Done...MWAHHH...

Congrates on the work kev, the tears and sweat and work sure paid of!

Kevin, fantastic is just too mild a word to describe the action & detail going on. I could spend a very, very long time looking at your dio and still miss some detail. Thanks for sharing it with us as it'll serve as a great reference.

At last, the dio is complete. I was following your threads from the beginning of your construction. Its "supercalifragelisticexpialidocious". I also like the write-up because its very informative.....



Can't wait for your next project....what will your next project be?

Cheers

Fantastic dio/Feature. Great composition. Everything in the dio is briliantly build/painted. Huge amount of figures. LOVE it.

Dear Brother, I have no words of saying what i feel for this dio. U know i have wathced this in the planning ,setting , making , finishing and shooting.

Also am very proud to be a tiny part of it . I think u r work is really amazing and qualifies to the highest standards of todays dio. A sure to have winner in coming contests.

I really am glad for all these endless hours we chatted on this one and i highly appreciate ur countless hours of work to make it perfect , as an offer to dio modelling.
I wish u all the best Brother , for ur next dios and know that i ll be here for u in everything u need me .

The text is also superb and a real how to do it guide.
Thumbs up Bro
Keep safe

Costas

matt

Again thanks for the wonderful words everyone. I am very glad you seem to find it informative. Costas, bro I am glad you have been there every step helping me out, thanks!!! Arvin, the next project is for the Ardennes campaign. So far I have about fifteen figures, tamiya sherman 105, DML hetzer, and a Tamiya schwimmwagen. Its going to be a scene with a knocked out sherman and the germans are taking the fuel from it. I am going to try my hand at another river or stream with it being half covered with ice this time and a stone bridge for the dio. Again thanks for the comments. Cheers Kevin
