Wow, Great photos, Andy, Big Thanks for sharing. DOUBLE THUMB UP !

[AndyArgent.]

These next two models from the KMK site stand were 1/72 scale.Amazing paintwork they were painted to look like a light was shining on them,that is all effects not lighting.






Back to regular sizes

[bbd468]

Tom - Certainly not a requirement but more of a fashion thing and much of the armour and larger vignettes tend to go this way - I think the plain gloss black plinth was first really promoted by the Scandinavian modelers this side of the pond and the fad has crept south

Maybe I'm a little snob, or maybe I don't like conformism, but I think the best base was Per Lund's one, that suited perfectly the rest of the dio...

[Marcel du Long]

Sure it was a great weekend over there!

These next two models from the KMK site stand were 1/72 scale.

EDIT: These models were on the Scale Model Factory display and are from Roy Schurgers a scale model factory member. 
He won 2 gold medals in the dio class with "Friday the 13th" and "Always look at the bright side of life", two splendid 1/35 scale dios.

Bye,
Marcel.

[AndyArgent.]

Sorry Marcel my mistake but i didnt mistake the talent. Loved the dio,s also.

It was pretty manic, I must say, Andy; notsure where akk the time went. Look forward to catching up with you at Telford.

[Tobi]

Damn! Tank-man vs. T-59 is exactly the idea for a dio I was carrying around with me for five years and now someone did it!
Well, mine would have had also a street lamp but, talk is cheap...

Great models, stunning work overall, thx for sharing the pics!

Cheers,
Tobi
