tiking Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) OK fellows. This is my latest acquisition. I had intended this little dio to be a IOF dio but decided to go for the 'different' approach, as always. Yep. For those who know me, it will not come to a surprise. As my middle name is exactly that. Anyways,this scene represents a Libyan resistance fighter firing Gaddafi's last loyal militant forces, some down the streets of Tripoli. Anything Goes, is the name of this diorama. I got the idea of a pic someone had posted a long time ago. When I saw it I knew I wanted to model it some way and somehow, my way.It just shows that anything is possible, although not very practical; it just shows that anything can be used to their advantage at any time when the need calls for it. The longest and most strenuous part of this diorama was putting this figure together. First, I like the thank Bassam I. Mansour, for his suggest about using different body parts from different kits. One kit he suggested was, "Charlie on the left" from Master Box, Vietnam figure kit as a start. So thatäs what I did. The other kit I used was a body part(torso) taken from the Meng Hi lux kit, which included a one figure, if I remember right.I am no figure builder pro nor am I a figure painter pro. So this was a project with lots of miss and hits. But I keep telling myself, that I will improve. Just needs more and lots more practice. But so far, I am happy with the results. I also noticed some areas on the figure that needs some touch-ups of paint and also some toning down. So, yes, I do notice it and it will be rectified. So I hope you like the completed dio, aside from the figure not being up to standard. ---------------------------------------------- Edited March 19, 2016 by tiking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Nicely done, Charles. I can just about hear him yelling "Allah akbar!" as he's shooting at the pro-Qaddafi forces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
