Have fun!
Looks great, but I see another “red vs green” fire extinguisher debate coming…
i think it is really well done. the first dio i have seen where everyone is basically looking in the same direction and there isnt a difference between the figures as in some relaxed and some ready to fight.
if you were passing info onto art instructor it really helped out.
Looks great and figure placement is not as awkward as previous works done by Art Instructor. Excellent paint job and ground work.
I agree, the figures are much better now. Having the figures in the scene interact with each other really helps tie the scene together, especially the guy pointing on the tank. It gives the scene more of a story.
Yup, much better sense of story. Great water effects. Ground work looks good, too. I’d not have put that tree/shrub in front of the figures at the back of the tank, since they are one of the focal points and this distracts from that. Other than that, a good little scene.
Thank you so much for all kind comments and compliments! I really appreciate them!
In the next dio from AI, there’ll be a ruined building. The funny thing is that while the boxart is Hungarian Country House, the inside parts and manuals are Lithuanian City Building. I bought it from a friend who bought it from HK. I didn’t know that until AI started working on it.
This is one of the nicest “cutaway” stream dioramas I have seen. what material did you use for the water if you dont mind me asking ?
Many thanks for your kind comments! My modeler used clear resin to simulate water. You may read about his technique in this thread :
