LOL, alot of these posts are older builds, I actually only have completed around 8 dios or so, no where near Russ! ;) Inspiration just seems to pop into my head, and looking at pics also gives me lots of ideas...there's one that Russ is working on right now, and although I don't want to steal his idea, I would like to do something similar to what he's doing with his panzer IV.
It does take me a long time to do dios too, I only get maybe 1-2 hrs a night to build, and a little bit on weekends....
The pics are taken by VSM's (Victoria Scale Modellers) own Steve Bamford who also runs the ARC site, he takes awesome pics, he just has a knack for doing it! Bugsy is also getting the photo bug now, and has photographed my newer stuff and Russ' as well.
