Hi guys
So this is the final reveal of my second entry in the Eye spy sig
It is my diorama of a recon unit that is about to go outside the Siegfriwd line in a efford to spot the closing American forces that where send out to take the line
The setting should be somewhere in late Novemver or early December wich is around the time the last parts of the line where caputered

So I'm not a dio fan generally, but this looks very realistic to me. The ground/foliage work is very convincing. The figures feel natural and the scene makes sense. This is a great dio.

Thank you very much Nev
I am glad you like it
I think i could have finished it much earlier then i did
I spend a lot of time on other builds while i also had this on the go
I have a pretty big plan for the Heil the hunters sig so this time i will try to focus more on a single build instead of 4

Thank you very much John
Glad you like it
After this build i decided i actually like to do more dio's but more in a urban setting then a rural like this one
It will be a good practice in scratch building as the things i want to make aren't made by any company
And my entry in the Heil the hunters sig will be the first attempt for those builds

Very nice setup. Love the faded paintwork on the vehicles.

Thank you very much
I actually did very little fading on them
Only the camo colors where faded but i didn't do any pre or post shading
The effect is caused by the pigments for the most part
I didn't feel like fully shading them and luckily in the end it didn't mind as i am happy with the result
