Nice except for one minor thing, in the first dio it shows German and U.S troops and a Vietnam era Jeep with an M-60 Mg?

Both dioramas are incredible for someone so young, or any age for that matter.  Looks like you have a modeling prodigy on your hands.  Great work.

I just want to say that I too have a young dioramist that is rocking out some cool stuff also. Her name is Anthora and she is 8 years old. We both liked your sons dio. it is a awesome scene. She is currently doing the layout for a dio. of a Wespe and a 222 recon. car. She likes anything that is named after animals ; Tiger, Weasel, Panther, ect. . We must let our children be inspired to do the things that they like and let their skills grow.

Thank God,Towdogg, that your Anthora like modelling also,I was thinking that my son was a rare case in this age,because his friends likes only computer games.I can´t wait to see your daughter work,put some pics when finish so I can show to my son also.  Thanks for your your nice comments, hope to see some pics soon of Anthora. I want also to give you a big welcome in the forum.

Regards,Pedro

Cool , I am glad that your  son is interested in her work, he won't be disapointed. She too is very excited to post her work. We wanted to submit a picture to the readers gallery but I think she is more into corresponding to someone her own age and interests. Lets sit back and let the young ones (all of them) rock the scene.

Simply stunning work. I like the scene, thoughtfully laid out and effective. He's going to give Shep a run for the money in a few years.
