Thanks to all guys for your comments.

About the Nichimo brand I can tell is really good compare to Tamiya kits is similar the only bad thing is that the kits from the 80's like mine the instructions are in japanese, so you need to have real pictures of the model to know how to put some pieces, but the quality of the plastic is really good.

I'll post some pictures today of my Tamiya Panther A and my diorama, hope you like it.

And thanks again! Wink [;)]Chef [C=:-)]

Really nice, Gabriel. Welcome to the forums. I can tell you will be a big asset here. It's nice to have you aboard.

Your whole dio looks terrific to me. Great job on the bridge and water. Hetzer is terrific. Good luck on the Jadg.

How good is the Nichimo kit?

Thanks for the scoop on the bridge. I am currently making plans on a similar, but a little larger, piece, and can't quite afford the astronomical Verlinden price. Good pointers on painting. Please post some more pics Smile [:)]

Zokissima

The way I do the bridge: I went to Michael's arts ancrafts store and buy different size of Balsa wood then start cutting the wood and glue it with elmers glue, the disign of the bridge I saw one from Verlinden I think in photos, after the bridge was dry, I painted with Tamiya acrilics I used xf 64 red brown and some white to make it look old.

And for the water I use resin that I buy in the same place as the balsa wood, with a little bit of blue color for the water color and let it dry and that's it.

I'll take more pictures from the diorama and posted for you.

If you have a question feel free to ask me, I will answer the fast I can.

Very nice work. Do you have any alternate pics of the diorama? I'm very interested in what the bridge is made out of, and what you used for the water.

Very nice Gabriel, like the dio too. My one critique might be that you need to drybrush some silver on the high spots on the tracks. Nice and look forward to more.
