Hey Barry,
Both vary impressive dio's.My favourite would have to be 'A Close Call'.The way the figures have just had the hell scared out of them and scampering/sliding off and down the embankment is very well executed.It really gives the dio a sense of motion.Thnx for sharing mate!Cheers,Shay

Very nice. I haven't seen these before but I really like them. They do two things I'm always impressed by. They tell a story, and they don't use out of the box figures. At least I can't see any figures I've seen oob.
If you run into any more "antiques" be sure to post them. Not all of us have the memory of an elephant like Scott.

I agree with Roger:
Both of these super but simple dios tell a very good
story. And the viewer gets the message as soon
as she or he looks at either of them. To me the story
line is the most important thing for a successful
dio. But, alas. . . . a good story line is the most
difficult part to come up with and then execute so
that the viewer sees what you're implying right away.
Simple yes, easy, . . . . . NO!
Bigger in dios doesn't always mean better , IMHO,
at least.
