You mean you have to give that one up? I guess it’s like having your child married and leaving your home…LOL. I hope you got a good price for it, with the diorama that’s a lot of money tied up in plastic, resin and paint, then add the hours of work…wow. I started counting the money I spent on my dio and stopped before I started feeling a little foolish. One I hit a grand I was like OMG!!!
But Man have I learned a lot in a short period of time. I am now working on making better faces. I am using a pin, I cannot do eyes with a brush. Although I just saw a set of mini brushes in the micro-mark catalog.
If I am feeling up to it I think I am going to put up some pix tonight so everybody can rip it apart…[:D]
I don’t know how it will come out in pictures but it looks pretty good to me. I did so many things backward because I did not know what I was doing.
Anyway that looks so good I want to eat it, yeah man it kind of looks like a cake. I think if an armored or artillery officer were getting retired hiring someone to make a cake like that would be cool.
I can tell by the way you do your work a certain amount of pride is in there. I felt something as I studied and researched the battle of Hue I found myself being more drawn into it. Not just making a diorama of models anymore but a piece of history. Those little plastic and resin guys were real, I used real pictures and video but embellished a bit. My dio is a tribute now not just some model kits thrown together to look cool.
