Soon to be revived

I do not seem to know what to do with this model. Seem to be moving it around in different diorama scenerios. This is version 3 of the Samba saga as I call it.

Wow! I want to shrink myself down to 1:24 size so I can check out all the wonderfully aged details!

[tiking]

Nicely put Peteski.

Well done, I can almost smell the rust and decay.

The kitty-cat looks a little out of place though- he's a little too clean

Well. I am not too sure how they are suppose to look. I mean. I see cats around here...they always seem to go in  the woods. most of the ones i see are not really dirty. Most are well groomed. but i will remove it regardless.

The detail in this scene is absolutely stunning!  It totally amazes me that this level of realism can be achieved in a model.

I do agree about the cat though.  The bird looks real, but the cat looks like a porcelain cat. It has the potential to look like a real cat, but I would have no clue how to do that.  Maybe some kind of paint wash to make the fur look more realistic? I have no clue, just a suggestion.  But other than the cat everything else looks extremely realistic.

Thanks. I have been pondering over that cat issue for a while now. I am just trying to figure out how to go about getting it to look more realistic...we shall see...
