Welcome to Armorama, glad to have you here.
Adding images to a thread is pretty easy. You simply view the image you want and click the copy button right underneth it. Then go to your thread and paste the tag into the thread.

You Starcraft diorama looks pretty good so far. My biggest question is scale. Are these supposed to be giant robots? If so the trees are to large in my opinion. The scene reminds me of the battles I see on the TV shows my kids watch, so the scene is pretty decent. Always look to add details to any diorama, here you can add tree limbs, leaves, maybe rocks.

Overall a pretty good diorama.

These are some off the photos of the dio!!
It's a scene from the Real Time Strategy pc game Starcraft!!
The robot looking units are Marines strapped in Power Armor!!
Any comments are appreciated!
The scale is 1/30 !!

well thanks guys!
The kits came from Academy and it's the only two they provide!!
As for the distance you are right!
I wanted to put them a bit further but i also wanted to take place in the show we are having next week here in Greece and the dimensions were limited!That's why i had to "stuff" them in this area!
I should try and make the Marines more fighting looking!! the 3 of them are firing (in my imagination) against the zerg and the other 2 are taking place!
The medic awaits for backup!!
Thank you all guys!!!

George welcome in Armorama. And what a start , 'A really cool dio even though space stuff its not my main areaof interest. I think that the distance issue is the think u should change, and the rest of the stuff looks pretty nice. If u could show some more clear pics we could possible give some ideas more. I guess are preparing this for the IPMS Nationals in Athens . Sorry that i wont meet u there since i ll be in Italy fro the Petit soldat figure show . Keep Safe my friend

Another pic from closer look as Major_Goose asked!And he's right!Not a clear view from the ones i submited earlier!


In this better shot it shows better the position of the Marines!
It is in big resolution!

As a starcraft fan, i always loved the look of the terrans....especially the marines and the firebats.
I always ended up choosing the protoess due to their strength....especially in numbers.

Im definitely heading to the LHS to find out if they sell it there.

argh my LHS wasted my trip there! I called up to ask if they had the terran available and they showed as having one in stock but when i got there....they couldnt find it!!!! What a let down!

Apparently the last one they sold was in 2003 so the remaining stock fell through the gaps of forgotten space. I ended up getting more desert marine figures so that i can practise painting figures.

Im not giving up though....off to the next HS which is about 45mins drive away from my place.
