[Tyrel]

Hello. I've been working on this diorama since last fall and I think it's ready for display. 1/35:

- Tamiya SAS Jeep.

- Academy M3 Grant with Neo-Grade suspension upgrade and stowage.

- Verlinden resin desert building.

- SAS figures are Evolution Miniatures.

- Verlinden Bedouin & Camel.

- Reclining soldier and Grant crew in the hatch are Hobby Fan with Hornet heads.

- Desert Rat captain is Verlinden

- Desert Rat Cpl in shorts is verlinden with a Hornet head.

Hope you enjoy the pics. (Some foregrounds were photoshopped to make pics a little more realistic)

It is indeed stunning. It all looks right and superb but as mentioned, the figures really stand out. Great job.

Thank you all for kind words. I'd be more than happy to pass on my method of painting but I must admit to not knowing what a master class is. Can anyone fill me in ?

Thank you

A Master Class is where the "Master" very much you in this case, show the rest of us how it is done in a deliberate and formal way.

In this case it would be you doing some sort of detailed or structured breakdown/demonstration as to how you do your figures in the hope that people like me can improve on theirs.

Just a term we use when someone who can, shows those that can't lol.

Scott have a look on the Historex website I`ve seen camels on their mate in the 1/35 verlinden section
