looks really good so far for the basic layout.

The cobbles look great, dedication appreciated

1200 eh? they'd be wrapping me up in a white jacket that ties at the back after that mate

Wow thats a lot of tedious cutting,looking forward to seeing more!

 

[Guest]

Looks really good so far!!

I'm sure it will be a great diorama!!

I can imagine the wet street after the rain, the little panzer II watching in silence... Love the idea, and your Job is amazing.

I will look this one with many interest.

Regards

Polux

Ps: For my diorama I have bought a few lampposts with illuminate indeed, that give a realism and very good beauty diorama!! Still I couldn't have published the photos, in order that you all could see, but for your fantastic diorama be able to be a great complement!! In the box that I buys there was some photo and reference, if you need say me please.

thanks for the comments, has anyone noticed that miniart seems to be out of scale, i think the doors are far too big in relation to tamiya or masterbox figures.

 

[spanner570]

Cracking Diorama Andrew. I like the grey, miserable feel to the pictures.

You've put a lot of effort into this and it shows.

Good idea to forget the tank, I reckon it would have taken over from the rest and been 'too heavy'. The motor bike gives a perfect balance...

I don't think the door scale detracts from the model, perhaps if one of the figures had been placed in the door way it might have been noticed.

Had you not commented about it, I for one would never have noticed...No, it looks just fine.

Big 5 for sure.

Cheers,

Ron

 

[Guest]

thanks ron and happy new year to you all

[Guest]

thanks all

 

[Centurion3RTR]

I'm lost for words Andrew (first for me lol), cracking build mate and a big five from me.

Have fun, John

 

[Guest]

Wow what an amazing dio, top work, really influences me too want to do one. The bike I think was the better option to go for, just looks so right, the tank although would of been good I feel would of slightly over powered the whole dio.
