Hi all!

I'd like to show you my completed diorama st in Satawan Atoll,Micronesia in 1943.It took me 8 months to finish and I enjoyed every single minute of it!

Hope you like it!

Cheers,

Thanks for sharing that. You did me a huge favor and brightened up my day by showing just how much awesomeness can be achieved with determination and a good eye.

When I looked at the first picture, for a moment there, I actually thought I was looking at a reference picture. Then I realised you made it and my jaw hit the floor! That is an unreal diorama. Actually, it looks VERY real. That belongs in a museum for everyone to enjoy for sure

How did you achieve that lovely aqua color to the sea? More to the point, how did you do the sea in general? It's the most realistic looking water I have seen in a very long time. I would love to know how to get water like that

Well done!!!

Stunning--too often used for mediocre work--but in your case it is truly stunning. The model is almost an afterthought, the diorama is so dominating. And the natural sky in the first shot is genius.

A great work! I'm truly amazed at how well the water, the hut ant the pier are done.

PS: I suppose the scale is 1/48; it's always good mentioning a parameter so critically important for every model (even more important than naming your aircraft, since most of us can actually see what aircraft it is : )

Respect,

Alex

I can feel than you had fun building this one.
