Outstanding Ron mate.

It just doesn't seem right just to say 'Great build' Painting a single pilot (when I have to) is hard enough. But all these little critters - wow. I salute your patience and ability.

Thanks Scott, I'm glad you like the diorama. I trust you, your good lady and the little angel Mia Grace are all tip top?


Thanks Col', patience yes (in batches)....but ability? Perhaps the 'ability' to remain sane would fit!


Cheers boys,


Ron

Cheers Ken, I'm well pleased you like it....It didn't quite drive me insane, but I'm still twitching a bit. Hopefully this will vanish soon!


Barry, thanks too for your excellent post. I appreciate it.


Cheers,


Ron

Ron mucker , words fail me . I cant believe what I'm seeing - Zulus!, Fousands of em!!! This is truly a labour of love (or a sure indication of insanity!) and the end result of all your eye popping labours is this masterpiece. Its a first class job and the attention to detail and true sense of action is amazing , its as if youre looking at a snapshot of that fateful day. I cant praise this enough , its a fantastic piece of work and you should be well chuffed, looking forward to your charge of the light brigade dio (yes all of em !) cheers matey Tony

The time, attention to detail, painstakingly precise placement of each figure, the creation of realism, and ability to tell a whole story with nothing moving is downright amazing!


Personally, I'd never attempt anything this amazing, as I know my skill level isn't near good enough!


Kudos!

 

[Guest]

Words fail me! This is fantastic, Ron - a tribute to your skill and dedication. And patience!

Well I am not into dioramas Ron but this beats the lot.


How you managed to stay sane painting all those bods beats me. I hate just two pilots.


What can follow this WW1.

Thanks John, good job you're tolerant....


Thanks Laurie....WW1? Now there's a thought. No need to paint anything, just splat mud everywhere!
