Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Here's some from various editions of the annual ModelBrno exhibition here in the Czech Republic:
Nice 1/144 offshore rig dio


My pictures don't even begin to do this dio justice:



A quite nice crashed P-38


An impresive Chieftain maintenance dio made even more impressive by being 1/72:


This crashed Herc dio was a complete stunner:

Here's a couple of pictures of a 1/48 Ju-52 Dio at a ModelBrno event that trully left me picking my jaw up off the floor!

I so wish I could do this sort of thing. The closest I get is some 'scenic scatter' and a couple of oil barrels..... and if I'm feeling VERY brave..... a figure !

And ya ain't gonna get nowhere if you ya don't do more!  ;D  I've said it before, these people started out like the rest of us, and they built and practiced. So get to it!

I'm inspired to try another diorama with a couple of my armor models. I know I won't be this good, but I'll get better by doing it.
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

The Ju52 diorama do look nice but it seems to lack that planted look, it looks like the things are hovering about the base, to me anyway. A figure or two would of been nice too.
