There goes Keith - coming through again. Nice job. Nice reminder that a dio does not have to be huge and costly.

Nice little article Keith, I think I'll have to try something like that sometime soon also.

Just excellent! Sometimes we (I, anyway) get so caught up in large projects we forget what some imagination and a little time can do. I really like it Keith. Thanks for the article.

Thats a great looking little project.. I think I may try something simular sometime for my first dio.. Thanks

Sorry the pics came out so "yellow"... bad photography under a florescent light in my office, not the one in my studio! The key thing is - here is a cheap way to "invest" in a fun project that is not hard, yet will keep the interest of a young beginner. Glad you enjoyed the article.

Simple, Elegant and Cheap !

Very nice entry Keith !!

I do those little vignettes / dios to improve my skills and to test out new features like we use in the Campaigns. I'll post the one I did for the Winter Campaign soon. I think people love these little jewels.

Great idea Kieth and i really enjoyed the article. Now i can only wait until; my own 6 month old son can grow up and enjoy the greatest experience of the hobby. CREATING !

Very interesting and simple project... I just finished filling a similar base mold (the caps with granola and yogurt) to give it a whirl. Maybe one of my Tamiya WWII German Infantry would be right at home on it :-)

Thanks Keith. This is excellent stuff, just what we beginners need, ideas and inspiration. I have a couple of spare figures and am going to try something very similar myself. I've already picked up the wooden sticks form the coffee shop !!!

Hey Keith,
Very interesting....
I'd like to ask your permission to use a translation of this feature in my modelling club newsletter, what do you think?
Cheers

I think I'm going to empty my trashcan. Very good thinking, man!
C'mon everybody, let's go recycling!

All the best, John.
