Excellent - I love the ruined temple and the way the figures are posed. Really creative.

Fantastic! Would love to know where you dio builders get your inspiration. Maybe one day I will have a go.

Hi Paul, thank you for your kind words, appreciate it. As for dios, always enjoyed making them, they seem to work out better than the actual models themselves lol. I look at pictures, in reference books, or on the web. Get an idea and then just have a look in the bits bin. One thing for making dios, is never throw anything away-I have three deep drawers full of bits-50% may never be used but the rest will be added to something at some point. Next is working out your scale, if you make a 1/35 then the dio should reflect the scale, wooden telegraph poles, fencing, hedges etc. It can be loads of fun, more than making the model. Try a simple grassed dio for a model and see how even that can bring more life into your model.

I like it, I really enjoy scenery which is why i ended up with a model rail layout but i think i can get my scenic fix doing dios hopefully as good as yours.

Thanks Mike, yes, it was photographic outdoors, with it being in Greece I figured that the real sun would enhance the images. Glad you like it.

I like this a lot Si, great work mate. You have captured the Greek atmosphere nicely in that diorama.

Great build as always Si. I have to agree building the dio is often more fun than the model. And all models should be on a dio (it doesn't have to be a big or complicated one) but it makes the model so much better.
