The pics are much better than before. I don't think you need a new camera. Most are sharp although two or three are a bit out of focus over the whole of an individual model, and in the first shot of the whole dio: the bit nearest the camera is a little fuzzy. Perhaps a higher f-number (smaller lens opening) and a timed exposure would help. But all the rest look pretty sharp to me. I like the lighting. The shadows are not so dark that they obscure detail, and just right, fuzzy edges wise, and therefore not too sharp and harsh. The views of your bench and table cloth distract me rather.


Again, this time round, I find this dio disturbing, with all that carnage. True to life (or death) of course. Very good.

Thanks Steve, Will work on my photo skills for sure, sorry you found it "disturbing" after all it is only plastic but I did try my best to portray war at it's worst, I guess I had a bit of success (in your case anyway)...Thanks again...Jim :smiling3:

My disturbance was a compliment. War is disturbing and it is good to be reminded of that. Your dio does that really well.

Disturbing because it is so realistic. There must have been hours and hours of excellent work in this. Well done.

Thanks so much Barry, just caught up to your kind comment a bit late I'm afraid ,but better late than never. lighting makes all the difference, I must start taking photography more seriously and must look into "Photo-shop" for future endeavors. Thanks again my friend :smiling3:

I think of your work every time I see the question "what colour should I use to paint this tank / that tank?"  


These photos show beautifully the answer - many layers of subtle and diverse variations of dark greens and olive drab. I think that this is especially important with dioramas, and yours approach 3D paintings! Nice one.

Two words to sum this up Jim JAW DROPPING. I think if you put that in a competition the rest of the entrants would pack up and go home.

Thanks so much John, just because a tank my be one color that don't mean one must use only one color ;)
