Congrats Mary!!! You did an excellent job! And I am very proud of you. You have taken to Dioramas a lot faster than I did. Kevin

Wow! Fantastic! A really unusual subject and idea, brilliantly conceived and constructed, I wish I had done it!

Mary,
I loved the artical, I thought your first dio and artical are excellant. We all had to start somewhere and you made a smashing start. You should have confidence to start your next project! You have good help at your side, as well as here. I'm impressed by both your firsts!

Not only an excellent diorama, but an excellently written article.

I will say it again, fantastic subject. Betcha never thought an old truck like that would rate so popular here on a military forum.

Thanks everyone for the generous comments. As i have said b4 this turned out way better than i ever thought it would..and for that i applaud all of you for your encouragement all along my build of this project.
Thanks to you Scott, for putting this all together. Many hugs and kisses to all

Keith

Congrats Mary, unbelievable this is your first one, cause it's better than anything I've build before in several years haha :-)

Well built and well written..a tip of my hat to you! P.S. Where did you finally get the name for the dio??

Great looking model and a good, well written article to follow it with. Congratulations Mary.

That is a very beautiful diorama. I like the weathering and the simplicity.

And the article is nicely written, too.

It would be nice if you could add a figure or two in there Mary.

Other than that, it is a wonderful job.

Angela

Excellent built and excellent feature My Sister. I read it twice and noticed you explain us all details of your built..very useful article.
Thanks a lot and please keep posting features.
Hugzzzzzzzzz

Thanks again everyone for all of your wonderful comments. Armorama and its people are truely one of the best model sites around.
Angela, My original intention was to have a set of hillbilly figures. However, the only company i found that made them was a place called Chimneyville Hobbies. I purchased one figure from them and it was terriable. I have never seen worse cast figures. So..i will still keep my eye out for some and if you happen to come across something...let me know..thanks for your comment and suggestion.
Mary

you did an amazing job huney ... i love this dio.. and i cant wait to make one of my own someday
love ya loads

Thanks for the sweet comment. BTW..don't wait till someday to do your own dio...get started now..You have all the help you could ever need or want right here on this site..Just ask:)
Mary (++)

Well what to say MAry . if i d read this in a modelling mag there is no way to believe that t his is the first dio a modeller does !!!!! At least it has nothing to do with my first dio !!!!!
Absolutely brilliant so much for the build itself and the nice explaning article. Very good to see a girl writting features here. Is something that was misses and i ll encourage it with all my powers. Hoping to see ur next soon .

Great job
