I can honestly say jim........ That is the absolute best dio i have ever seen. Superb attention to detail ...... it has a "dark and siniste" quality that portrays exactly what war is ........ Stunning........ you really "Nailed That" .

Awesome work Jim like the rest have said so much detail to look at, you see something different every time you look at it. And it portrays the senselessness of war

flyjoe180 · Jan 27, 2015

Great work all round Jim, a lot of detail and carnage there.

That's a very good diorama Jim, lots to see & enjoy. It reminds me of the Verlinden style in the 80's.

You are ALL too kind! thank you-- This one took a bit out of me though....

spanner570 · Jan 30, 2015

Yet another build I've missed on here.......Must try harder!

Jim, this is terrific, so much to see and so much to miss too.

Always worth another look, and another, and another.

Top job.

Thankyou so much! Indeed everything went down in layers, just a lot of little things that would catch my eye as we are out and about - appalling the mrs. as I would stop dead and start picking up little things in the street and stuff them in my pockets like some deranged homeless person! After getting everything where I wanted it, gave it all a heavey dark brown/blackish "wash" and proceeded to dry brush several colors one by one finally finishing with a tannish "dusting" I'm happy with results but there is always room for improvement.

VERLINDEN?! I am indeed humbled, he is my idol! that means so much too me you have no idea, can't find the words to thank you enough !

You got any idea how many hours you have spent on this? The details are second to none, and it must be hard to know when to stop! Staggering work.
