'Defiance'

[tiking]

Ok guys. This is another non-civilian diorama. Not your cup of tea but a diorama none-the-less. 

I have been working on for some time now. It has taken a while and the major factor of that is the figures. As I am not a figure painting individual, I wanted to take as much time as possible with this diorama as to not compromise the entirety of it, due to bad figure painting. I have a little detail to add but it is complete now as-is. It's only the name, I am not too certain about. I wanted 'Rebellion' but I saw it was already taken by another fantastic diorama by a fellow modeller. So, if you all have a better name than what I already have; with impact to the diorama, I would be very grateful.

 

The diorama is based during the Libyan conflict. The opposition is holding ground in a nearby compound where they are at a stand-off with government troops, loyal to Khadaffi. They get extra reinforcement from two fellow komparerades who are running towards the on-going fire-fight.hope you all like this build as well as my figure painting.

I think I have improved just a little since my last figure painting job.

Very interesting build, I can almost hear the weapons firing.  As the others have said, your attention to detail is outstanding.  My only concern is the footing for the fellow behind the 50 caliber.  With the recoil of that weapon I am not sure standing on the edge of a pick-up bed side would be sufficient.   Maybe I am missing something.  Either way I really like the work you have put into this piece of art.

 Thanks Ricky, but a pic says a thousand words. I'm just modeling. ;):

Thanks for that clarification picture, I stand corrected.  Still one really well built diorama.

Thank you kindly. I know, that in real life situations, things should apply according to the physics law of mechanics and nature. But, it doesn't always apply to some.  As the pic shows. HAHA. Heck, they stick an anti aircraft gun at the back of a pickup. That should say it all.
