Great work on this Alan.


The vehicles and scenery are exceptionally well done.


Gives a real feel of the desert.

Very nice, hard to do a desert scene right and you got this right.

Cheers graham I appreciate that , the base is just fine sand kitty litter for the stones and some army painter tufts

Really like this little scene, colors and weathering look spot on, has the look of a very well done piece..................Jim

The B&W photo is amazing! B|


Looks like an aerial surveilance shot take by a passing allied recon kite. B|

I think this looks excellent, and I must agree with Gavin that the Black and White photo is brilliant, it just ages the diorama. This coming from someone who lived in the time when the world was black and white!

That's a great little build Alan, love it.

Really like the diorama and the car is well weathered.


only picky note of criticism is the stones in the wall, I am happy to be corrected but wouldn't it have been either mud brick or the local sandstone in a yellowish browny red sort of palette.


but the grey does work well as a contrast from all the other sandy colours.

Cheers Scott , the sand is unpainted , it's just fine sand and the 222 is humbrol 93 rattle can

Cheers Gavin , the B&W shot was shot in B&W on my iPad and then I just added a hew and took down the sharpness

Cheers Dave , I did first paint it in some Browns but i couldn't get it to look right so I painted it in grey , I do have some sand wash from AK it might look better with a coat or two 

Nice one Alan!

Cheers polux I appreciate that
