Beautiful, years ago when I was younger, much younger, I built dioramas as a hobby. So I can and do appreciate the work done here. I use to spend hours painting the faces and hands, so I know the work that went into this. I went on the build models out of brass, taking plastic models and doubling their size in the brass. I worked as a machinist and had all the tooling I needed to create those models. Time has taken it's toll on me and the brass models, but viewing these is great to see.

Beautiful! Shows exactly what it was like. -Semper Fi!

Just goes to show you that a diorama doesn't have to be huge to have impact. I really like the specular highlights that you did on this one.

[fliegeroh]
