Holy Moses there Greg! I love how you so masterfully prtrayed the water in this diorama. It looks soooo real, especially around the floats of the Arado. Speaking of the Arado, I really like the faded yellow on the cowling. And to echo Leigh's comments, the bamboo is absolutely amazing! I'd swear you used some kind of real wood or something to get that effect if I didn't know better.

Well, the extension deck is made of basswood...but the rest is good ol Airfix styrene .   Just wait 'till you see the shoggoth! :)

When I grow up I want to build dioramas as amazing as that one. Truely magnificent Greg. You want to stick that one on MM it really needs to be show cased to a wider audiance.

Man, I gotta get me some of your White Zinfandel, its clearly somekind of "modelling-super-power" drink.   :o

Greg this is yet another museum-quality masterpiece! I am stunned by your amazing talent and craftsmanship. Please post another update when you get the figures added.

In complete awe,

Looks fabulous!  I just picked up something I should loan to you...

The little red guy in the pic is about 40mm for comparison purposes.

Cool stuff Greg...I've go to track down a Huma Dornier Wal to do a "At the Mountains of Madness" vignette.

Like the website.
