My First Dio

Very Nice!

You really came back on the hobby scene with a bang. Great job on you first build in ten years and especially on your first dio.

I am thoroughly impressed!!!! You really have made this one of those "I have to look twice" kinda builds, GREAT job!!!

Take care,
Frank

Great work in such a tiny space to work with. Like many here on the post I too am interested in what you used for the logs. Good job being your first dio, wow!!!!!

*click* got my jaw back
oh oops there it goes again

Thanks for all the comments. The logs are made from small willow trees, the hardest part was finding ones that were relatively straight. As for my next dio, I'm thinking a street-fighting scene in France, 1944, but who knows.

Thanks again for all the advice, I've learned a lot from you all since joining here.

Well done, it looks great....

First Dio eh? A likely story....LOL
Seriously, very nice, and very original too, probably one of the first scenes I've seen with a log house in it. Everything looks as it should for the scene, you've done a great job on the figures. I would just make the pics a little brighter, just a little on the dark side. Great job, man!

Well there are several things i like about this build...
The ground work is great and the chopped logs on the back side are a fine touch. They really help to fill in the space, good job there.
The figures have all the flashing/seams sanded smooth, great job. And all the joints are smooth as well, very nice. In fact you should be very proud, as old as the kit is you make it look like brand new.
The only thing I would add (And you might have and I just cant see it), is a little light drybrushing to the gun. Just to bring out some of the detail. Of course thats optional.

All around great build, thanks for sharing.

What did you use for the logs? I like this dio, it's simple and effective, a good start. What's your next project?

Wow. Thats awesome. Are you sure its your first one? I love the groundwork

great piece westcon. real well done. i like the groundwork. good job!

very nice job! Its hard to believe that's you first one! The figures are done very nicely as is the ground.
nice job.
