AI did a good job, but can he get the shine off those tires, and maybe cement the 251 down so it looks like it has some weight?

I bet those faces look great in real-life, but like stage makeup seen too close, they look kinda grotesque on a big screen!  The uniforms look terrific, too, though I'd vary the coats' colors slightly, and the pants', just for the sake of variety.

Very nice, though I do agree with the comments above. The half track is particularly nice and dusty.

One other thing though, the obsevation scope should have it's tripdo legs much further apart simply for stability. I work with surveyors in the field as part of my civil engineering work and their total stations have the tripod legs spread much further apart

cheers

Don't you use ArmorAll on your tires?Big Smile [:D] That jumped right out at me, too. Very nice, otherwise!

Hey Model Maniac!

Art instructor did a good job of building and painting this diorama. 

Few things that I noticed.  1.  Figure on left side looks like he is wearing a red lipstick (or could just be the picture). 2. Figure on the right side, color of the pistol holster doesn't seem natural.  Keep in mind that most of P08 and P38 holsters were in black color (and you have all your figures with brown holsters).  See the picture as a reference.

Otherwise, really nicely done.

I really like the 251. Nice to see one in gray 'specially...

Figures look nice except for that cat on the far left who went a little "Sweet Baby Jane" with his lipstick.

Many thanks for your kind comments, compliments and suggestions on the dio. I agree with all your points.

Preston, I don't know "ArmorAll". What is it and what it's for?

vonryan, this is the Ausf. C command variant, do you mean pictures of the real thing? If so, you may try googling for it.

Thanks again for all responses. I'll present another new page and another dio later today...

Armor All is a line of car care products, one of which is used to clean and shine tires, especially when cars are being shown.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I see, Aj, thanks for your info. I don't think we have it in Thailand but there're many brands out there.

BTW, I just recently read your review on kitmaker site the hunter figure 54mm by Mr. Pongsatorn - a Thai sculptor whose work you rated at 90%. It's a very good article with illustrations. Have you reviewed his German 120mm figure yet?
