What I have done here is a whimsical , out of the ordinary dio. The idea behind it is..Mo , Larry, and Curly never paid much attention in their Map Reading 101 course. Lo and behold..on there way to???? They have come to the wrong bridge and it happens to be..." A Bridge to Small" Hope ya's like it!

Regards, John








There a a few more photos in me gallery

Looks great, good job.

Looks good......
Cute idea.......

I LOVE that dio, very clever and fun! It's really got that "WTF" feel to it... lol

Very original idea and very well executed.

Nice simple diorama, well set out

Love it, great idea, original and humourous, top dio

John

... looks good, great idea & nice groundwork though i feel there's plenty of empty spaces around... and i like the goose (or is it a duck?), adds a touch of humour to it.

anyway my only comment is shouldn't the bridge be closer to the center of the dio? right now the position of the bridge is kinda distracting from the overall subject.... just IMHO.

This came out really well. I like it in it's finished state. Have to be honest I wasn't sure during construction. I am now. I like it.

A comment on the photo shoot - if you start photo editing on the computer you'll want to get a smoother background. The rough surface of the blanket creates lots of texture and will make editing tougher.

Very well done.With the bridge off center,you have to look at all of the dio. (++) (++)

Very nice John!
At last finished and looks great!!
I like the brigde! The position is perfect!
It shows the "oh [auto-censored]" idea of getting lost very well!
Came from the hills on the wrong way and ended up at the wrong bridge!!Very nice!
Good work!!
:-)

Great little diorama. Groundwork, Jeep and figures are all done very well. Adds humor to the situation the GI's are in.

Cheers !!

Hilarious, John! Nice alternative to the usual serious war dios. Hate to be a nitpicker, but you've got a typo on your name board -- it should read "A Bridge Too Small" and not " A Bridge to Small". Just a tiny detail.

Nice work.Going to start doing my groundwork on my dio,adding grass etc. and i hope mine turns out as good as yours!!

This one turned out very nice John. It tells the story very well.

By the way John, did you ever finish the canteen truck dio? In my old age I can't remember if you did or not. Would like to see some photos of it if it is completed.

Thankyou all..glad you like it
moJimbo.....goose.

Scott, I will try the photo set up with a solid backdrop..ty for the tip.

Dave..Yes, the clubmobile was finished a ways back and I donated it to my local Red Cross.

David.. I think to would be fine used in this context.. In a particular relationship with:
"The brook runs parallel to the road. "

Turned out very nice John. I like what you used for the base now where is my chainsaw :-) :-) .

Excellent dio you've done a great job on everything from the gound work to the painting and even the story line.

This is a very beautiful dio. The little goose is a nice touch.

Thanks, PfC, hemble and Angela

Its quite comical when you think about it. Great imagination John.

Very nice!
I disagree with the comments on empty space : you filled them very well with stones and herbs
Same with the bridge out of place : it makes the dio unique and original.

I still don't get the to instead of too...

What did you use for the grass? It looks good and short...

Great dio Very well done IMO That reminds me of a dio a guy did close to 20 years ago for a magazine called Military Modeler That mag has long since ceased to exist

It was called 'Falling off the Dio' It showed two brand new LT's in a Jeep that skidded off the road The front end was off the dio and the rear end was still on the dio

Thanks again all.

Easyoff...


Coming from you my friend..thats one heck of a compliment :-)

John

A really clever dio. Everything is visually balanced and the bridge extending off the end of the base is a nice touch.
