there’s incredible tension in that scene…“what’s going to happen next?” was the question that came to mind when I saw the trap.
the vegetation in and out of the water is awesome; as is the water color and texture itself. what a great story this tells. thanks for showing us the next stage of the diorama.
Very nicely put together. It potrays the action of the scene very well indeed. Thanks for posting it.
World class. Beautifully done. I am no expert, but I have read pretty much everything on this hobby and your work is as good if not better than anything in any book I’ve read. Really nicely done. I coan’t say enough.

First class dio. All the elements of suspense are present. Great poses on the figures and the setting is first rate; been there.
Good work

helicopter’s don’t fly, they beat the air into submission
Wonderful dio, I must be slow because it took me a second to connect the rope to the wood in the wonderfully crafted water.
john is that going to be your signature? about the helicopters? you could go to profile and check the bottom signature box and enter that in
Great stuff, man.
How did you do that water ?
F A N T A S T I C !!!
Really enjoyed this post, thank you!!
Take care,
Frank
Thanks
The water is made with clear poliester resin, in Spain we used the one named ·Cronolita" (with 2% of hardener for the resin); several layers of 3-5 mm top, with some drops of flat earth Tamiya acrylic paint (more drops the first layers, less drops the next ones, only clear the last one). The riples can be made just before the resin poured, with a stick or something like that.
It sounds dificult, but is easy, just try it…
really like the dio csago!! how are the nades on the pole set off?? I’m assuming that its a booby trap. really like it. great concept too!!![bow][bow][bow][tup][tup][tup]
Thanks, and about granades, go to my pictures web, go to page 2, look at “sealpatrol15.jpg” picture and you can see there the wire running from the brigde to the rings of the granades.

Intense, very intense. This diorama has it all, suspense, excellent foliage and water, the addition of wildlife and a storyline that keeps you asking what is going to happen next.
Awesome work csago. You feel like you’re in the Nam.
