  1. A nice accomplishment, Keith. Your dedication to the project and efforts paid off.
    Are the opening pics a forest photo background or outdoor shots? @greenterrorz

    • Thank you Gary @gwskat

      The forest is actually a display background from the company CoastalDisplay.

  2. Everything in this diorama is breathtaking, amazing skills and incredible result, Keith @greenterrorz.

  5. Excellent project! Belongs in a museum

  6. I agree with the others. This is absolutely extraordinary Keith (@greenterroz). Truly a work of art here. Fantastic final results. Very commendable that you've been able to stick with all the mundane chores that goes along with making something this nice.

  7. Very impressive!

  9. Very cool! Happy to have come across this.

  10. Spectacular work! Looks like a lot of time was spent on this project.

  11. Definitely one of the best diorama I have ever seen, Keith @greenterrorz
    Absolutely amazing looking FW190s.
    The way the photos look gives you the idea of looking at a real situation.
    It was a pleasure to follow your thread, very learningful.

  12. It's easy to get lost in all the excellent details of the diorama and overlook the beautiful paint and weathering work on the two birds of prey! Fantastic work all the way around.

    • Thank you Greg! I wanted the diorama to seem busy and well filled out. I often see “empty” or boring dioramas done and wanted to avoid that with this one.

  13. Absolutely wonderful, Keith!
    Well done!

  14. Exceptional work, Keith (@greenterrorz), and seemingly done in a short amount of time. It doesn't seem like you have been working on it for long, but the results certainly look like you have taken a great amount of care to get the details right.

    • Took roughly 50-60 hours I would say from start to finish. If I wasn’t limited to Friday/Saturday nights, then it would have been done a lot sooner. Thank you for the compliment!

  15. Excellent diorama project work there Keith - Inspiring to say the least

  16. Looks absolutely fantastic now you have brought all the individual kits together. Great as stand alone models but so much more of a story in your diorama Keith. Fantastico 👍

  17. Excellent, I simply love it!

  18. Incredible detail!
