Ah ha, the famous tub scene, I remember a lot of fuss on that one.

Have you seen the new Mastbox "german and US paratrooper" set? I think it is right up your alley.

That's up to you. We have a small group here, so unless more new members get recruited by all of us, and those members are active, that's all any of us will get when posting our work.

Huh. Never been threatened with a lack of dioramas before.... :rofl:

Considering I build my own, I'd have to consider it an idle threat. :tongue:

For the record, Manny, I think your work, especially the figure detail, is fantastic.

One of these days I'm going to figure out how to paint small faces without making them all look high...... :shocked:

For a good diorama you not only need some serious modelling skills, you have to have a good feeling for the right balance of the whole setting. Seen a lot of dios with some fantastic build vehicles and figures on it, but they didn't work together. So here comes art into play, not only craftsmanship.
You really have this sense for situations, Manny. I like that little storytelling on a plate. Keeps my eyes hanging around on the pics for a while. Where are those 3D pics when you need some...
