Famo & Sd. Ah.116 + Panzer III ausf.L: 10-06 Done

Hi Richard
This is very nice, and has a lot of the things I like in dioramas. For example the tight composition with no wasted space, and a creative story that's told skilfully. Well done mate!

Cheers
JT

and the ducks

real nice

@ John and Alex: thanks for your kind words. The ducks.... on another forum I had a guy say he didn't like them... I guess that many people, that many tastes. To me it's sort of an "easter egg" (there are three of them, not two ...)

greetings, Richard.

easter eegg is cool

yes, but... where is it????? I can't see it!!

Hi there Oscar,

The third duck: on the first, the second and the 4th picture you can see it (if you look close) underneath the bridge. Well camouflaged ...

greetings, Richard.

Yes! now I see it...

This is a master diorama.... congrat!

Fabrizio.
All in my blog

Oscar and Fabrizio: thanks again, glad you like it!

greetings, Richard.

Hi Richard

Lot of patience and excellent directing. The result is a beautiful job:cheers:.
I wait for the next job .

greetings  Dimitris

super end result Richard - you must be proud of this one! lots of figures very well painted - in some cases can confuse the viewer. In this case i would say perfect - they are all very well thought out and planned. The figures are interacting and clearly support the diorama theme - i really like this ! any chance of some more pictures?

@ Dimitris: thanks for your kind words! What comes next? Check my new topic...

@ Mark: also thanks for your well thought compliments! Yesterday (sunday the 23rd of june) the diorama judged a silver medal in an international show in Overloon and, something I'm even more proud of, the "audience-medal" for being the peoples choice as the show's best diorama. A report of the contest will be published in our club magazine. If the featured pictures are OK, I will post them here.

greetings, Richard.

Richard a very big Well done - this is Gold in my eyes in both categories! I really look forward to seeing photos of the show. I feel the same way - I have received quite a few gold/silvers at judged competitions - but also have found that winning any form of public vote competitions make you feel much more achievement !

Congrats Richard, and well deserved!
