When I see dio like this and two things come to mind.

First, I’m not worthy.

Secondly, I can do that (Someday).

JBA, you are an artist. Love your work!!

I have said before, but it is never too much:
Jean-Bernard André's works are pure POETRY
I really love the ambiance, the sets, the stories that we can make just by looking at his work - and what level of craftsmanship that it is needed to achieve this!!!

Congratulations JB

Jean-Bernard is a unique gem here in the world of modeling. While the rest of us are thinking of a 'new' way to pose the "fallshirnjager relaxed and smoking" against a panzer, JB is exploring what can only be considered a Twilight Zone of his mind to come up with ideas.
JB, you have shown me that there should be no limitations to creations and not all dioramas need be military oriented in the traditional sense.
Truly an amazing inspiration, I bow my head and take my hat off to you.............

Aye, the words of a humble artist..........my thoughts follow the path of Mr. Reading's post above...basically, there are no limitations in this hobby, as your builds demonstrate Jean-Bernard, but there sure are "natural's", and JB, you're definitely one of them, my friend...

Using the same mediums, you take us to a different level of this side of the hobby, by incorporating a story line with each build, and telling that story in the imagination of the viewer....a master modeler, and a true artist in every sense of the word....

hey thanks James, crafstmanship honestly.. i don't think i would be able to build and paint something that would not appear destroyed at some point!
Thank you as always Mark, for syndicating that one, and for your kind words. But really i shouldn't listen too much and be working more efficiently on my new one
