my first dio

shroomy,

Don’t worry about finding the link. I think I remember seeing an old thread about making wire. This is just the first time I have seen it put to use (as far as I know). I like it, looks good. Can’t wait to see more.

Hi Shroomy,

Great work!!! Especially for your first dio. Like the others, I love the way you’ve finished the concrete. Looks very realistic. The scratch building looks great and to scale.
Did you work off a scaled plan or just improvise?

My only suggestion would be that you could maybe add some rain/water streaks on the bunker. Other than that, the weathering looks brilliant!!! [tup]

The Flak and bycicle look great. I like the p/e on the bycicle.

Great job all round. Keep up the good work and the progress shots.

Jurgen.

At last it is finished,even won a gold at weling 07 first time out ,of which i am most proud

and just something else which got done but was not brill

Wow! that’s fabuleus, looks like something from Call of Duty, really impress.

I saw those kits for sale once, maybe I should buy them, and how did you do the grass?

hey is’nt that the wizzer from steve’s pziii dio. he must have been hitchin a ride to the frontthere.good work on the dio man.it looks good to me kind of pre-invasionish got the idea for that word from some-one elses ish words.if i had to guess i would say that the chaps had plenty of time to keep things policed up and tidy.

Looks good, mate.

If I can offer some constructive criticism though, I agree with the guy who said the barbs on the wire are too long - makes it look way over scale. I feel the rust colour is a little too red also - tone that down a bit and maybe the oversize barbs won’t stand out so much.

Also, the clumps of dry grass look out of place on the nice green turf. Give these a tinge of green also to blend them and reduce the contrast. Look at some real grass for an idea - even drying grass is usually green toward the base.

Love the addition of the guy taking a leak - the pose of this figure is very natural. The bicycle looks good too.

Your '88 under construction looks fabulous. I’m not an armour modeller, but I can appreciate the effort you have put into your work. Well done.

thanks for all your comments guys.

lets see whats in store for the next one

a street scene perhaps :slight_smile:
