This FAMO is in quite a spot.....
Have you ever tried to back up a car with a trailer on it????? Imagine a FAMO hauling a Panzer???? Tough stuff.
This is a great diorama with a nice build story with it.
Oops - Check it out

Great Dio Murat. Congratualions. Its a stunning scene and well layed out. I like the idea as well. Because of the length of the famo and trailer, it never looks right in photos as the other side is always out of focus,for example. Your walls and cliffs idea closes it in nicely and the whole idea works.
I hate niggling on such a fine piece, but ... its a pity you didn´t go the whole nine yards and scratch the tunnel opening as well. Eventhough the tunnel has fallen in, the trailer and load would not have passed through it anyway ..its a bit low .... from the pictures it seems to be just the height of the famo cross bars.
Im only commenting on this to show that pre-planning for a dio is a must, and how one short-cut can let down an otherwise excellent dio.
thanks for sharing this great dio with us and hopefully we see more of your work in the future.

Congratulations on a dio well done Murat!! Great work my friend, I especially love the groundwork, rocks and plants (that tree growing on a rock is looking really nice). Sadly I have to agree with Frank, that tunel is too low for that truck to pass anyway, even if it wasn't destroyed. Also that human skin color you've chosen is a bit too brownish in my opinion. Other than that it's a great dio:) And one last thing: did you scratchbuilt that tunel entrance or did you buy it?? Cheers (and don't hate me for being picky:))!

Murat, Excellent!!! I think you have done a fine job on this dio. I love the vehicles, plantations and figures everything works well together. I have to agree with the others on the tunnel opening...but that is a small matter. The work is outstanding!!!! Thank you for sharing it Cheers Kevin

hI mURAT . As we have talked a lot in private, i like this dio very much. The idea and the execution are very very good. Comments on tunnel entrance ok as told from others. But the overall picture is very nice to me. Nice work my neighbour. Keep doing it

hi Murat,
first of all; the story is good and double trouble is a well chosen name for this dio. Figures, vehicles and groundwork are all built and weathered very nice. It is also so good to make a feature instead of a photo feature because the camo mask is a useful idea.
congrats my friend.
I also have to admit that the preparation and presentation of the feature is very good. Another congrats goes to Scott.
Please both keep up the good work.
