I've been at a loss for words the whole way here ... think I'll go with:  Your work is absolutely sickening!    -- Dallas

Thanks very much Dallas & Russ  !

Just two evening pictures today or whatever you want to call them.... ! I´ll be back with the final detail pictures and an SBS as soon as the weather permits an outdoor session, it´s been raining for a week or so.

P.S. Pictures way over sized as usual....it´s still 1/35 scale.

Wonderful pictures, especially the last one.

Cant wait to see more!

Wonderful! What a great mood!

Wow, really great shots!

I'm curious about the wall lamp in the first photo. Where did you get it? Or is it scratch? I haven't seen anything that good even in 1/24th scale.

Beautiful mood shots.

There you go with that ambiance stuff again.  This is now one of my all-time favorite dioramas, and has lots of it.  You are right about Shep Paine, his diorama with the sailor and cat (and beautiful Navy Parrot pivot gun) is another favorite with ambiance, as are his aircraft and box dioramas.

Thanks again guys   !

Ray, here is the lamp:

http://www.brawa.de/en/products/h0/lamps/wall-lights/5357-wall-light-nuremberg.html. It´s sold as HO scale..... An HO figure would fit inside..... ! There´s a 12 volt bulb included that is far too bright but a dimmer or resistant takes care of that.

It would look great as a somewhat smaller lamp in 1/24 scale. Other German manufacturers you might want to check out are: Viessmann, Kibri & Noch.

You seem to have mastered the art of using contrasting light sources to advantage. Most guys do it by accident to their DISadvantage. -- Russ

Hi Anders,

I hope not to be offending: I feel the same about the mood in both pictures. The first one looks even better to me for there is this blur at the womens' face and the bike in the second one, which makes it look a bit strange. But in both pictures the cables for the lamp give it away. I had the same problem and maybe found a solution here: http://www.finescalerr.com/smf/index.php?topic=1983.msg44257#msg44257; please scroll down to the last two pictures; I don't want to hijack your thread with my pics. I removed the insulation from one wire so this one seems to be a steel rope to hold the lamp and the other one the cable for power. You even may remove both insulations, if it's still too thick and then color this with non-conducting color. In your second picture the crooked cable is another problem.

Cheers,
Volker
