Hi Guys


karl dio finished after eight weeks fulltime work.


the theme is karl being transported to a destryed station on the border with Poland ? and you see karl driving off after being lowered on to wooden baulks on track, with troops supervising and warching .Karls shell loader is being lifted off halftrack by the munition panzer ready to fit on to karl , supplies are being unloaded and i think the guy on back transporter is looking in the box for his sandwiches.


Hope you like, any comments welcome.

That is brilliant Bazer. You must have quite a few train dio's if my memory serves me.


About the photos, Could you be a gent and edit the doubles out. No point in filling the new server up with duplicate pictures.


If I may point to a couple of things that you may have not noticed. The ramp that chap is about to chuck an oil drum down. It it the wrong way up- there seams to be a few ejector pin marks on them...


Again only a small detail but that guy 'looking for his lunch' He must have eaten a whole box of wheetabix holding that chain up with one hand! Maybe a bit smaller chain might make his search easier.


Never the less a great build with loads of details for the eye to feast on. Love the loco as well. far to many 'black' ones, nice to see one in camouflage.


Great build X loads!

I thought the ramps were the wright way round !!! I did think that about the chain and forgot to change it.

A magnificent looking diorama Barry. There are so many little great builds in that scene that one Great build award doesn't seem enough.

 

[bazers]

Thanks for all your comments guys,


anyone know how to remove duplicate photos?.

Wow Baz. Just completing this is an achievement, and here I am complaining about a diorama with two figures. My hat tipped in your direction sir.

 

[bazers]

Thanks for comments Aaron.

Easier to do than to explain... Let me know it I have deleted any I should not have done. o:O


One day you will have to treat us to a couple of photos of all the Rail diorama's that you have done! Must be an impressive collection

I think you press the Edit button on the screen at the bottom of the post. Then try selecting the photo and pressing the Delete key (on the keyboard). I think that might work.

 

[Stevekir]

Very very VERY good. The huge amount of detail makes it, also the sheer modelling quality. I have copied three for my "Superb Modelling Examples file.


Faultless... er, I actually found one! The man attending the lowering of the heavy load: the nearest chain to the viewer is not tight. There, I found one!

 

[grumpa]

EPIC ! especially for 1/72! while I would NEVER criticize such a STUNNING piece aside from the chain {should be scaled down a bit} now that it's all done maybe you should think about "grubbing" things up a bit. Every thing looks so


'clean" and in it's "proper place" nothing wrong with that mind you, but the real world is seldom so. I'm not suggesting you start a new technique on your "deservedly so new pride and joy" just grab an older project laying around and start slapping it about, you'll find your own way. start with a dark dirty wash then start dry brushing lighter tones, scatter some debris of sorts about "a little chaos can be a good thing" try studying some wartime pics and you'll get plenty of ideas.
