My first diorama

Hello Matt and glad that you are sharing your work with rest of us who are not aircraft builders!  Excellent work for your very first diorama and I'm sure that you'll continue to improve your work. 

Overall, this looks very good. Those Preiser figures have held up quite well, considering they are over 30 years old. I don't see any serious construction issues, the layout works nicely. I really like the open back shed.the card players add a neat little human touch here.

Were the gun pods in two pieces? The one under the right wing looks like there might be an alignment problem. Might also be the casting or just the lighting.

The tracks from the Schwimmwagen look a bit heavy to me for a light vehicle to have driven over the grass just the one time.

One thing I've learned about the Bf-109 from judging these many years, is there should be a panel line running from the canopy to the tail at the middle of the spine. A lot of builders assume this is a seam line that needs correcting. Because of the general confusion about this, I don't penalize a filled line there, but you might want to take note for future reference.

Again, a very good job that shows a lot of promise for you as a builder.

great job young man!! you are well on your way to becoming an effective diorama builder..keep it up!!

hey dan, long-time-no-see, eh??

This is very well done. I love the look of that protective tarp being pulled off the propeller blades.

Hi Mattcooke, its me again, just want to add some more comments on the scene.

You should called the scene a name that way you can metting it again in shorter words, also the plane is fantastic, by placing a fiqure with a action (like the one removing the cloth on the plane propeller) your making the viewers interested in the fine job on the cloth, good idea. There seems to be a decal on the balsa building, what is it and what does it say?

You did a excelent job on the scene and the model very good, mine can be as good aas that just not as accurate, you always need to make sure that all the vehicule, fiqures, buildings and scene maches the place, year event and time (winter-snow).

Keep up the good work.

Impressive dio, especially for being 1:72. Love the 109 and rest of the scene works nicely. One to be proud of.

 Very cool, a friend of mine works exclusively in 1/72 scale and im amazed at how well his stuff looks yours is top notch,it would be an honor and privilege to take second at the diorama tableagaints your work. happy modelling.

Is this 1/72? Amazing.

Wonderful Dio! 

Dude I LOVE IT. Im totally into 1/72-1/76 scale. I do some 1/144 because I have an N-scale layout and Im doing it up late/post WW2. How old are you? Man you got some real talent. Im 17 and Ive been modelling for about 4 years now and I dunno if I can compare my stuff to yours. Ive posted some of my work but havent made much really worth posting. Great diorama and like its been said the card players in the shack are a great touch. Definately an interesting dio that keeps you lookin.
