Hail brail scale!! How'd you do your roads? They look fantastic.

Thanks for the link as it is a very impressive diorama.

I am hopefully getting some Preiser figures next moth, so I can see what they are like.

cheers

Your photography is also well done. The photos really bring out your work!

Excellent work.

I switched over to 1/35 but looking at your work makes me want to go pick up a 1/72 scale tiger kit, you do awsome ground work as well

You really do a very good job in 1/72. The ground work is absolutely fantastic for such a small scale! And your pictures have very real angles, and the figures arr fantastic. Great job.
