    the best thing about this diorama, the best thing..is that you put some of the german soldiers in field gray trousers, which you ACCURATELY paint GRAY GREEN, which comes off as a dark, matt green. The germans did not wear gray uniforms, they wore gray GREEN uniforms amd you are the first modeler i've ever seen to accurately paint field gray (gray green). BRAVO on accuracy!! BTW, the rest of the diorama is museum quality superb...

    Every DAK-Diorama I ever saw used sand, pebbles, dust, etc. Except your‘s….😮 Congretulation! And thx 4 showing us that it‘s possible just to „sculpt and paint“ sand without using sand 😂 And your Dio looks great! Thx!!

    Awesome is the only word. I’ve been looking how to do palm leaves and yours are the best I’ve come across. Just one comment. The rope in the well, it more than likely would have been tied off on part of the A frame, for safety sake of losing the rope down the well. Also the soft sand is fantastic!

The sand is also just great, the subtle shadows you get on those dunes between the P3 and the palms, then the feet by the well....just amazing!!! I use the same clay but never thought to use it for the ground work...definitely have to rethink that one...Thank you so much for showing your skills, its really fun to watch and get inspired!!!
