Four dioramas, have a looksie... if you got the time
Posted by SteveM on Saturday, October 7, 2006 9:07 PM
If thread has taken 5-8 minutes to pull up, then my sincerest apologies. Let me know, and I'll see about yanking it.

These dios were made from 10-04 to 5-06. Never posted 'em anywhere. Just though you'd might like to gander. I'm not great, and rarely do I ever fully complete a project before jumping to the next. These range from my third dio to my my 6th. I'll post them in that order so if any progress has been made, let me know.

"Surrender!" Somewhere in Munich, 3rd Infantry







"We're Not Alone Anymore" Caught off guard, members of a patrol from the 36th hide from germans who have stopped to stretch, have a smoke and get their bearings.





"Recon in Russia" A gerrman recon squad scouts a neighborhood with the help of an old Panzer I





"Pathfinder" In the wee hours of June 6th, a pathfinder has to kill his way out. Jumping out of a barnyard wreck, he has to take a dispatch rider out before moving on.





Again, if this took too long, I apologize. If you liked any of it and want to see more, go to:

With the time I spend on this stuff, you'd think I'd have more done and be a lot better.

hey steve nice dios i liked them alot. i think we all critisize our selves too much. i say the same thing about my work but anyone that comes over loves the dios maybe because they havent modeled or the havent seen others work. the main thing is we are having fun at something we love to do . again i really enjoyed your work and hope to see more. wish my pics would post but i will get that rectified somehow :)

I think your work is pretty good. Love the first one, with the wrecked civilian car. There should be some more debris on the third one, since there is a lot inside, and not a hellufalot outside. Besides that, they're fairly well made, with good placement of the figures and other elements.

Hey steve, I really like all 4, my favorites were the third and 4th though.  I really like how your dioramas tell a story , or show a piece of action.  You were asking if you improved, and overall, you definately did.  One specific improvemt I noticed however that made a huge difference is your figure painting, and especially the skin tone.  In the firs tone, your figure painting was decent, but not amazing, and the skin color made them look almost as pale as an Irish kid like me!  But by your last one, wow!.  The pathfinder looks great, and your skin color is perfectly flesh like, it gives him a bit of color.  Also I love the way you do ruined buildings.  What sets do you buy?

Pretty much Verlinden and Custom Dioramics for buildings. I usually put different pieces together to get something I want.
