Top job Si...No blood and guts, just one great scene.

Coupled with some excellent use of shadows, it makes for a great piece of modelling.

Well done.

Superb mate truly superb , I thought this was in 1/76 not 1/35 ! Your figures are very well painted mate and they fit perfectly into the scene :smiling3:

Fantastic! Would love to know where you dio builders get your inspiration. Maybe one day I will have a go.

Excellent - I love the ruined temple and the way the figures are posed. Really creative.

Hi Paul, thank you for your kind words, appreciate it. As for dios, always enjoyed making them, they seem to work out better than the actual models themselves lol. I look at pictures, in reference books, or on the web. Get an idea and then just have a look in the bits bin. One thing for making dios, is never throw anything away-I have three deep drawers full of bits-50% may never be used but the rest will be added to something at some point. Next is working out your scale, if you make a 1/35 then the dio should reflect the scale, wooden telegraph poles, fencing, hedges etc. It can be loads of fun, more than making the model. Try a simple grassed dio for a model and see how even that can bring more life into your model.

I like it, I really enjoy scenery which is why i ended up with a model rail layout but i think i can get my scenic fix doing dios hopefully as good as yours.
