Alright heres the pic for my Towed gun GB entry. Its italeries 1/35 105mm Howitzer. It is also my first attempt at a dio.
heres the model before painting
hope u like them. feedback please!
First dio? Wow looks great!!!
Seeing that gives me hope that mine will turn out.
It sure puts my first dio attempt to shame!
Very good job.
Robert
Nice work, Rebel. Really good for a first try on a dio. Nice work on the gun and the figs, too.
Actually I am in the process of updating my first dio…putting it on a presentable base and adding some stuff.
Nice job! Real cool presentation.
Nice, I like the little Diorama… Good Job!

As per the GB, very nice job. Wish my first one turned out like that [:)]
Very nice Rebel, good use of pastels.
Good work, Rebel! Very nice build.
One comment about the figures: the whites of the eyes are enormous! Boi-yoing! In 1/35, I don’t use any white at all, just a dark wash.
Check out ref picks of soldiers in the field. With all the squinting that goes on, I’d bet you couldn’t see the whites of their eyes even if you were standing right next to them!
Looks great, nice work on your first diorama [:)]
john i hope my first dio turns out so well.
jhulk i thought it was an “oh my god is that a target” look.
joe
It is definitely that look!
“Oh boy oh boy what should I do what should I do??!?!?!?”[;)]
Good dio, John!
I hope my eyeball comments don’t offend ya. Just trying to give a little CC! (Constructive criticism)
By the way, I don’t think I’ve EVER seen convincing eyes done in 1/35 that incorporate the white portion of the eyes. Darkened slits, that’s all eyes would be in 1/35.
Just look at these guys: [:)][;)][^][;)]
Looks good.
Nicely composed little dio John. Well done !!
Thanks for sharing with us.
Good point Brian. Going on the old Shep Paine rule of thumb that 1/35th is like looking at someone from 20 ft away, Ive always advised people to look at someone from across the room and see how much detail of their eye they can see. Do it outside and the whole dark slit thing makes even more sense.
Great job on the ground work rebel. Off to a great start. You’ll go far young padwan…
Mike
Thanxs guys!
I’ll try different techniques for eys next time and see how they turn out.
The men are opening there eys so wide because they just realized that there was a king tiger rolling in right before them[:D]
