woooooooo, excellent, excellent!!! The poor driver, getting hell from the boss, I love how he’s hanging his head in shame…stuff like that makes dios stand out. Great scene over all, and you’ve done a great job with the snow. Keep it up!

Glad you got some use out of it. I only wish I had taken pictures of the project from the beginning…

Amazing build! How you guys do this is simply astounding!
The look on the drivers face is awesome and the water is so very realistic.
Keep up the fantastic work.

Spectacular dio. It has all the elements of being one of the most original and imaginative dioramas in a long time. Its got it all: armor, soft vehicle, creek, road, snow, great figures and a good story. An excellent achievement. I definitely would love to see this one in FineScale.

Thanks for all the kind words, you guys. Can’t tell you all how much I appreciate the positive feedback.

Armour_freek, the snow was made using a Woodland Scenics product called Snow First, a mix of Snow and diluted white glue was applied with a brush. Later, after the figures and vehicles were in place, a fine drift of the same product was sprinkled over the entire dio, brushed away from the running water, then “frozen” in place with Scenic Cement (also from Woodland Scenics). Should be able to find both those items anywhere scenery products are sold.
