Thank you all for the kind words! I’m glad to have this build on the shelf. Also considering entering it into the IPMS competition coming to town in September. Or at least the planes. 

A few more shots either the forest backdrop:








On the shelf with the other diorama I’ve done:

Pretty incredible work and detail all over this, and the birds are awesome!

[handiabled]

I'm not sure where to begin. Following this build has been a joy. The incredibly well done detail is evenly spread on the entire diorama including the aircraft. Congratulations again on the attention from Eduard for the A-7! This is a blue ribbon winner my friend!

Thank you! Yeah the background I used really adds another layer to the whole diorama. I’m glad I had it in my arsenal to use.

And this is what modelling is all about, The scene, the story, the details - all done to perfection!

Thank you Dean! I’m glad it was able to portray a story. Sometimes can be challenging with diorama building.

Sorry I am late to the party cause of work but I am still here! I really enjoyed following your build since day one and I am glad it came out great! I won't be surprised if it brings you some gongs if you enter it at the shows.

[scottrc]

You nailed the scale and depth perception with your photography using the backdrop. Its awesome!
