                        Come on people. Okay, the vehicles look great, but the house is a mess. I'm sure it will take still many hours to make the house look like a decent model. For instance: the bath tub is only half way, so at least another two months of work.
                        The fence near the tank is broken as well

                        Good luck finishing your model!Wink [;)]

                        Thanks everyone for your comments. i wish the pictures were a little clearer; maybe I'll try reposting with better pics. Nick, the building is from Verlinden, but I embellished it with a roof, floors, doors, shutters, windows and gutters. I also had to scribe in some of the brickwork on the inside and make some additional pieces out of plaster. It was a real learning experience

                        nice work, I like the detail on the building well done. Cool [8D]

                        The lighting on the first shot is a lot better than the rest, I still haven't worked out how to get the best shots of my models its very tricky.

                        Thanks, Everyone. It's great to share projects and ideas. Kelly Zak, you're right, I think I will add some more dust inside the ruin. (by the way - you're dio is awesome). Corvus, the figures I used are as follows. The figure in the back of the truck came from Jaguars US Refuelling party. The figure sitting on the tank came from Jaguars Sandbag Detail with hands from the srapbox. The figure carrying the jerry can came from Jaguar's Out of Gas. The other two in the tank are from Verlinden and the standing figure is from Nemrod.

                        I paricularly like the color variation of the different roads and the house is superb.

                        a beautiful piece of work, and thanks for sharing :)

                        Stunning. Simply amazing. I stand in awe of your awesome work, JGAGS! Everything about this is pure eyecandy. I would have dirtied up the inside walls and door a teeny bit from when the rest of the building came down, all that dust flying everywhere would dirty everything up. Yours took six months, mine took 5, did you feel kind of burnt out when you were done? LOL Big Smile [:D]
