Enjoy viewing!

Thanks for sharing those pictures falconbbs..
Art instructor did some nice modelling. One point about the Panther Diorama is that the figures/tank are off the base.. they're like "floating".

Thank you so much for your kind compliments. You're right about floating position.

Hi Phaisal, you have some really great looking models there, your eye for detail is quite evident. I particularly like the WWI tank, very well done. Your subtle weathering is showing well used vehicles without over doing it.

Many thanks for your kind compliments, Bruce. All credit for great looking models goes to
"Art Instructor" - my armors and dio's modeler.

It looks very, very good! Congratulations!
Cheers and happy modelling!

Hi Falconbbs,

I went to your website... You are one prolific modeler! How much time did you spend on this nice diorama? By the way, what company made the panther commerder?



WC

Very nice, but not only are the figures 'floating' it seems the tank is floating as well.

Note: Falconbbs does not build these models they are purchased from " Art Instructor"

Many thanks for your kind compliments, Prato, WC and Shain!

WC, it's Mr. Tanit Chankham ("Art Instructor") who is one prolific modeler. He has built 100+ dio's and 200+ armors for me and my website over the years (six years). I guess this diorama took him just a few days at most. The tank commander is from Verlinden.

Shain, both things have already been addressed above (see the first comment from JM), and it's not precise to say that I purchased from "Art Instructor" because it was I myself who selected and assigned the tank, the figure and the building kits to be built into this dio. I usually assign him 5-6 pieces of work (armors & dio's) at a time.

I once try to "assign" my wife to build a model for me. Well, I end up got "assigned" to the dog house.



WC

Nice dio you got there. How did you secure your figures to the base?

Thanks, Jeremy. I think my modeler used glue to secure the figures to the base.
