the street and the people of a neighbourhood somewhere in Europe

Dimitris!

It looks great, nice building and nice weathering of the vehicles. Two questions popped up in my mind right away:
1. Why would there be two soldiers in parade uniform in a (I suppose) recently liberated town?
2. Why are the Jeep and M8 facing eachother on a narrow road? Wouldn't they be trevelling in the same direction?

Otherwise great work!
Cheerio!

I like it! The atmosphere is great... I don´t agree with Stefan regarding the uniforms and the vehicles... It looks natural to me... Thanks for posting

imagine the scene without thiw confusion.i think now is more complex and more beautifull



in a (I suppose) recently liberated town why recently?

Dimitris, the athmosphere is great! I love it. Well filled scene with a lot to look at.

Say something about the building please.

The layout looks good to me. Splendid work!

Claude

Very good work with an excellent composure, I especially like what you have done with the foreground which is something you don't see very often. who makes the female civilians you have used?

Claude, the building is a plastic kit of Mini art and the walls are homemade

Darren the girls and their boyfriends are from Masterbox(4figs)

thanks a lot

As usual with your work there are things I like -you are an "author" in that I could tell it's you that did the diorama - and things I don't like -why on earth did you do some wall in front of your diorama? you have to take your pictures from ABOVE for us to be able to see most of the scene?!
But the things I like with your work matters to me more than those things I don't like

Jean thanks
i thought to make a "novel"diorama

I have to agree that the whole scene and the atmosphere is great!
And a lot of details to look at.

Great job on that Mini Art building - you have managed to turn the plastic into real stucco
You did your best ,too - working with plastic figures

OK, sorry, I suppose I supposed to much... Always listen before you start interpreting is valid here as well. It looked to me like the town was just liberated. Like I said before, the vehicles and building look great! I also like the trash laying around.

Cheerio!

Terrific work on the miniart building and all the details- trash, flowerpots etc. The vehicles and crew look good too.
The only thing I don't like is the wall in the foreground.

Amazing! I wish my dio looked like this as well.

Dimittris, I like it a whole lot. The way the whole dio blends together color wise. The wall up front is a nice touch, more like a photo would look. I do agree with the uniforms though, kind of out of place to me. The back yard up front is an eye catcher with the debri and weeds, looks almost forlorn or abandoned. Good,very good. Only one nit-pic, the ladder has mold seams I think. If it does. is it to late to pop off and re-do? One question, did you use pastells for blending it all tpgether? Other than that, I really like this one.

the ladder and the front wall
yes i"llrectify them
no i did not use pastels or pigments
the....dustiness waw made with an airbrush with clearcote with a sand colour 50/50

Demitris...I was kind of floored by seeing your diorama as I am also doing one of the same building a jeep and a scout car similar to the greyhound. Strange cooincidence. The one I am doing is going to have a loft on the inside with a wounded German sniper that the US medics are trying to figure out how to get him down. I did a crap job of cutting out the miniart parts from the molding and the parts did not fit together right. So what I did was make rubber molds with liquid latex and poured in the lightweight hydrocal. They came out great and I have since cast two more of this building with some modifications. Mine is far from finished though, and you can see a picture of it in my gallery. The one that you did is very nice and I can hope that mine will come out as well when I am finished.........Al

Alfred to fit the parts of the building was very difficult
so i used only the front part
the other part will be usefull for other construction

I read an instruction kind of after the fact, on how to cut out miniart buildings. I used scissors and a razor knife with disaster as a result. What you are supposed to do is score the edges with a sharp awl and break off the excess plastic. The nice part about molding mine with hydrocal is that it soaks up the paint and makes it look more natural than plastic and you don't have to work at makeing it look like plaster since it already is.
