      Very nice Alan.


      The composition is great and I think a fifth figure could have made it look crowded.


      Love the base, the scuffing of the area around the tank is a good detail.


      I did spot a couple of seams and an ejector pin mark you missed but that just proves I study the photos, it's not in your face, but the're there.


      Good skin tones on the figures, but to bring the desert theme home you need to show tan lines. "Blond haired blue eyed Germans are quite prone to sun tan....


      In all a great diorama.

          A well thought out scene...... Brilliantly executed, gonna chuck a ying yang at it.


          P.s...... Is it diorama or a vignette.... Whats the difference?

              It's my opinion, that not means is the correct one lol


              A little base with a vehicle and figures, that express movement is a vignette for me.


              A little base with a vehicle and grass (is the most used) is this....only a base


              A big base with vehicles, figures (or not) buildings and other items is a diorama


              But remember, is only my opinion

                    A very dynamic dio. Alan, well done. Colours are great, and everyone looks as if they have a purpose, and not just figures randomly thrown in.

                        You are quite correct Alan it is him, his right arm. It is one of the reasons I hate figures lol. No matter how much you clean them up.as soon as you have painted them you find a seam or mould line you missed!


                        The ejector pin mark is on the inside of the turret hatch cover...


                        Nether the less this is really good. You should be well chuffed.

                            Excellent,dio,Alan,real like the colors of the tank and base,and well weathered,and blended together,


                            like how you have picked up the wear and tear on the tank,


                            great work on the figures,i did pickup the same as Ian did,beside that your color and blending of the muscle tone


                            is great,and there turned out well,i real like them,


                            if you dont mind me saying this is a little trick that i try to use with figuers,as some times no matter how much you sand


                            a seam lime it will still show,if you look at them there mostly were you will get the natural darkening in the body under


                            arm,the inside of leggs,so i use these lines as my guild for the dark areas,so dark underside to light on top,and this wil


                            help to hide that seam line if it dose show a little,


                            and by the way what ones are there i quite like them,?

                              Very nice indeed Alan. Nice detail with the tank track on the ground.


                              Figures are first class very realistic.

                                Excellent job Alan , I envy anyone who can paint figures , I struggle with just the faces nevermind bare torsos!! The tank and base look great , although hes poking in the wrong place isnt he? Isnt a sprocket one of the cog like wheels? Tony
