Fire Fight
Posted by Tiking on Tuesday, May 28, 2019 2:52 AM

This diorama has gone through many changes. I have now scaled it down to a small diorama which I think will be the final look, I have been working on, changing and adding figures as well as re-working, and detailing them.

The diorama is based during the Libyan conflict. The opposition is holding ground in a nearby compound where they are at a stand-off with government troops, loyal to Khadaffi. I hope you all like this build as well as my figure painting. I think I have improved since my last figure painting job.

As usual, your work looks amazing.  The shading, shadowing and blending look spot on.   The skin tones look really good.  Nice work.

Thanks,

John

Very awesome job. I'm just starting to do diaroma and if I can get mine to look half that good. I'd be very happy.

Yes, it does everything right. Great work. I thought that the guy kneeling in the back had a seam at his left shoulder, but that seemed (pun intended) unlikely. Zoomed in- it's a strap. Best looking blue jeans ever!

This looks great. I love the look of the street, gate and wall. The figures are well done too of course. Nice to see something different in the subject matter too! I have one thing that bugs me. I would like to see something down range of the fighters. Seems a bit barren, too much open space. Maybe as little as a running dog or something else to balance out the scene from that side. An abandoned moped? Something. Don't get me wrong I think it's excellent work just a little unbalanced when viewed from the one side. A advertisment, propaganda poster or graffiti could add to it perhaps?

Thank you. I can see what I can do to add something within the lines of what you mentioned. Appreciate the tips.
