Thanks. I appreciate it. After getting back into the hobby a couple of years ago the vast amount of new gear and great youtube videos helped me bring my stuff to another level.

Every minute of that year and a half shows - you can't rush artistry like this. Photo 27 is the shot of the lot. Probably the best figure modelling I've seen.

Mark, thanks so much. I appreciate the kind words. I think it took so long because I kept having more ideas for adding little details. It got out of hand. 🙂 The sweater was a nice chance to add some color; but I wasn't up to painting argyle pattern yet. 🙂

Your efforts more than paid off! Excellent diorama in very realistic presentation! You created a lifelike scenery with lots of interesting details inviting repeated browsing through this wonderful album.

Thanks so much. I like to try and start with a story and find the right figs to tell it. That MasterBox kit is brilliant. Diorama in a box basically. I've also discovered that my figures looked SOO MUCH better when I started painting modern figs with better sculpts instead of the old Tamiya figures I had used way back in my late teens before I took a 25 year break from modeling. The better sculpts allow me to use a wash technique for shadowing which really helps.

yeah, I remember when I used Verlinden figures for the first time, back in the old days (before my own break(s) ). A good figure can make a hell of a difference. but you did a lot more than just using good figures 😉

This is outstanding, lots of detail and the the crew figures look superb! Very impressive looking diorama! 👍

For injection moulded figures, their standard is quite high. That surprises me ???

Yeah, MB seems to sculpt really expressive poses and their faces are usually really nice with some personality.
