Very nice, good work on the landscape and the palms are spot on for the scale.

Yep Karl!
It's another one of my creations, but only 50x50 pixels in size
Thanks (Karl and Jan)

Well done Rui, you've captured the feel of a beach landing nicely.

hey Rui, sorry I've got to be critical on that one! What i see here is not a diorama, but some pictures. Those are so much sunlit that it just destroys most of the details and therefore shows a not so accurate vision of your diorama. i personnaly prefer the one you took at your show where IO indeed could see that you did again a very nice work

Hi Jean-Bernard
You have to wait for me to upload the remaining 15 photos (my usual 360º photo shoot and overall/detail views) until the gallery issues are solved
These are the dramatic ones
Stay tuned...

Rui,
lovely! Very "Pacific" and a good scene. Every detail is nice, from tape and foil trees (works great!) to ocean and beach and ship weathering. Great stuff!
