  • Thanks for the nice words Mike on my collection! Yours looks great too! I really envy your ability to make your dioramas so lively.
    Thanks for the info Mike! I finally feel I've mastered macro after taking numerous photos today of 1-2 figures set up, also I took a bunch of lamps and positioned them around my dio, and that really helped!:) I'm in the process of building my Brecourt Manor diorama out of 2 inch pink foam it works, but I'll be sure to build my hedgerows and cliffs out of the floral foam.

    Hi Mike , thanks for dropping by. I love painting. Have more to do soon. I am also going to start some more ships/subs whatever.
    Mike,

    BTW was reading through your scenic thread very helpful! I'll probably now make my 4' long by 2 1/2' wide' and 2 1/2' tall Omaha beach bluffs out of the floral foam instead of pink.

    Thanks,

    Jake
    Mike,

    Loved the photos! With the macro setting do you zoom, as I just get very blurry pics with macro, and I need some help as I'm stuck just taking closeups of figures.
    Thanks!

    I used the techniques that I learned from Ken to make my Crusader dioramas. This winter I will be using the same techniques to make my 36" x 18" Rorke's Drift Diorama. If you follow Ken's instructions its not that difficult to do yourself. I have a thread under the "How To" section showing step-by-step how I created my dios.
    Yeah, probably coming up Friday morning too, planning on attending the K&C dinner? If Ken Osen does another diorama demo that is a must to attend!

    The Zulu range is very tempting to buy into!:);) I bought Urban debris for WWII, and got a set of their FANTASTIC walls for my birthday! Hopefully, they'll have some new products at Chicago this year!:D

    Mike,

    Just wanted to suggest the Hudson and Allen Studios Urban Debris set for your Hougoumont dio, in my opinion it would be a great addition to the red brick destroyed building!:)

    Vick
    Things are going well, Mike, but very busy so I haven't had time to keep up with things. Hope you are doing well also.

    Thank you for adding me to your friends list, it's an honour.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the info Mike, if I may suggest I just made myself a tree using a branch from a sappling and then hot glued on "Foilage in a clump" or I think that's what it is called, you can pick this up at any hobby/craft store. Post some pics of the tree once I download the software of my new camera to my computer. Thanks for compliments on albums!

    Mike, I really enjoy your dioramas! I'm curious though with your Hougmont dio, I saw you had playmobil trees on it, do you think these would work good with Britains/ONTC figures?

    Thanks!
    Vick
