Band of Gangsters

I'm personally liking this so far. Not the absolute best but for my capabilities, with figure painting, I like the results. Just need to clean up a little in some areas but the end results are looking positive. At least in my eyes.

Great looking details everywhere you look on this. Like the photography show several different angels.

Always a treat to see your diorama work. Very nicely done, and an unexpected subject.

Question: is the Toyo 4X4 a kit?

Question 2: What's the source of the tires? I need this tread pattern for some WW II era smaller 1/24-1/25 military vehicles

Your excellent dioramas are always a pleasure to look at, Charles - so many small details to discover. (Unusual subject, though)

Thank you kindly. Modelling the mundane type of scenario is what I like to do. Not uncommon, just not seen so often.

To echo the sentiments of others, your dioramas are always greatly interesting and well-done. The scenarios are realistic, and brought completely to life, by your skills. Always very happy to see your work!

This is jut Fantastic! Shep Paine's ideas live on in your build.

I really like blend on mundane setting, and the 'Technical' taking  a break from the fighting.

Very well done.

Thank you. Kind of you to reference the great Shep.

Charles . . . I am always impressed and inspired by how much you can get into such a small space for your dioramas, in terms of content and composition.

The vehicle, the figures and the building all fit nicely onto a relatively small baseboard . . . I continue to learn from your ideas . . .

I am not usually a fan of military scenes, but this one caught my eye, so well done !

Thank you David. I appreciate it. I am really trying to concentrate on making smaller vignettes/dioramas, just simply because its challenging and demands less space. Being effective and finding the right composition is also key in getting the right balance.

The child with its pet...😢
It brings emotion and humanity to the realistic scene.

I know what you mean. I am in the middle of updating this scene. En or two figures will be removed to make room for others. Update coming soon.

Not only is this a great diaroma, it also tells a story.
