EXCELLENT diorama in all respects -- Kubel, figures and base!

The figures are damn good!
Thanks Stefan much appreciated
I show your video to my wife. I told her:"- look, what a pice of work". And she said: - I think the spare wheel is to clean. That woman is hard to please. I think is a very nice diorama.
Ahh my Girlfreind is similar! Thankyou for the compliment and thank your wife for encouraging me to improve!

Damn bro this one was killer! Great Dio, the tarps and blankets on the vehicle looks incredible
That turned out really well James! I can feel the Noth African heat and dust. Don't you just hate it when film footage goes south, I've had it happen when editing myself.
Absolutely stunning!
Thanks Carl !
This looks awesome James, beautiful work! Everything has come together really nicely!
Thanks Simon !
Wow! Absolutely fantastic! Thank you.

Very cool 😎
Cheers !
I like this a lot. Well done.
excellent conclusion to the series. cheer stu
Great diorama. Well done. Love the way you did the wall and road. Wish my eyesight allowed me to do figures as well as you but sadly that’s tough. But I can still admire and draw inspiration from your work. :-)
Thanks Dennis, I'm sorry about your eyesight and I'm pleased my work inspires, take care !
Excellent work. I always learn a lot when watching your videos. If I could say one thing negative, the music is a bit dramatic and loud for me. Otherwise, awesome job!
Thankyou ! Since editing on a PC I have been able to tone the music down much more easily. So even if I am using a more dramatic track ( moved away from those a bit ) it won't be as invasive.
Looks fantastic.. 👌👌
Top 👍👏👏👏
Looks great!
Thanks Mate !
Joli travail de réalisme
Looks great.
Thanks Jan for your continued support !

from where im standing that look mint !!!
Thanks man !
Amazing! One thing though, maybe you could add the pieces of the broken pillars? Keep it up!
Do you want us to let You know what we think about it ? I think it's extremely ZAJEBISTE !
! Awesome thanks! Like the polish: )
I hope someday I will be able to reach your level. I'm impressed. Good luck and thanks for what you are doing!
Thanks Little Sailor just keep plugging away its just practice and patience !
Grandios 🤩👍🏼
I personally really liked the figures! the kubelwagen was also quite good and the diorama was an excellent complement! I like the technique you used to make the pillars! and the retaining wall made of cork and plaster I liked a lot too! The only thing I can give you an observation is the paved road and the land where the soldiers are, the road has, I think, too much color, if more texture and less color had been handled, it would have resulted in a more natural finish and pleasing to the eye , and the land I also think that something was missing! but I'm not entirely sure, from then on everything is fabulous! Congratulations! it's excellent!
Hi Sam thanks !, the paving was a bit more varied than my references but the worn smooth stone of hundreds of years worth of foot traffic was my excuse for smoothness. Im new to dioramas really (3rd or 4th one) so still loads to learn. Thanks !
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Your modeling and dioramas are awesome!! You planing make new videos with moders military tech? Btw your detailing is inspiration to me
Nice mate)
Thanks Andrei!
👍
👍👍👍
😍😍😍
looks more like a Greece vignette. no question about your skillz mate....
Hi Mikey, The columns and groundwork are straight out of lepcis magna in Tunisia. I can see why you'd say that though, roman architecture (heavily inspired by the greeks) was rife throughout North africa, and being near the coast it was as verdant as most Mediterranean countries. I used the web, and 2 key books from my collection, roman north africa by E.Lennox Manton and Roman Architecture by Frank Sear.
That's great work James, wish I could do it. Just one slight criticism though. I think the skin tones are a little too pale. It's North Africa. Wouldn't they be more tanned? They must be fresh arrivals from Tobruk?
Thankyou ! That's a very good point, I'll go with your story, in reality painting sunburn is way out of my comfort zone 😀
Looks good, but..the weight of the stowage in the Kübelwagen doesn't translate well to the tyres... .
Good point ! Thanks
i like your vidos
Cheers Noel !
Hi, vey good job. What are the meisure of the columns? Thanks
I saw this on R/modelmakers
I drop in from time to time when I can, that sub is awesome !
I'm sorry because I feel like I'll seem picky but I have two things to say, the column stones are too big to be Roman, would've Egyptian or something like that, and in sandy areas sand gets everywhere so the gaps between the stones of the wall look too clean 😅
Thats OK Jorge I understand, the measurements were taken from life, working out at around 70cm diameter (ish) using the classical ratio 1:10 for the column height. I spent ages looking it up and working things out to get the grandeur contrasting against the figures and vehicle.
@@lpjmodels you did a very very good job indeed, but I've been to Rome and Athens and the column stones are just to O big, Greek and Roman columns are built from smaller segments
*2 details that annoys me : the columns are too high (they had been collapsed by the time) and the grass is too green. Apart from that : SPLENDID!!! 👍👏👏👏👏*
Thanks Forever Plastic Kits ! I have lots of photos of columns still standing (original ww2 pics) Google "lepcis magna" and see my reference ! Stay safe mate !
@@lpjmodels Ok, some of them are well preserved, cheers! 👍
Nice diorama but the music was TOO loud (iop)
James tries to get the perfect balance between his voice over and music and every video theres this comment please be mindfull that he does everything on his phone with limited options
@@sophieannlouise5098 i am first time watcing this youtuber so am i not allowed to say my opinion? damn, i am here because model minutes gave him a shout out lol...
@@KJ-kn8pg of course you're aloud your opinion!! Im just trying to put across that its a trail and error thing! :)
Hope your wife didn't got angry over using her expensive silver cutlery xD
Haven't been busted.. yet ..
@@lpjmodels ^^
Why didn't you just use bird dust bath sand it's cheaper than all that branded sand effect stuff your using and would of looked more realistic but good dial build anyway
