Fabulous finished work, Wiking. And it appears that all the characters of the dio are "keeping it their pants."

Well, it was already perceived that this work was going to be great, but the result exceeds the expectations.
Very good, really a candy for the eyes, you have applied here several techniques, from the assembly and painting of a plane, modification and painting of figures, earth and grass, wooden tower, wheatering, rusting ... everything and everything good. And of course the dynamism and all the small details of the history within the history that characterize your works.
An applause!!!

Also a very nice one, Wiking. Great imagination again! (As always). And so many nice details. (As always) I see there is a connection between the themes of this one and the Dogfight in progress.

VIEW HALLOO!

I love that fox.

I hope this pilot has "Buzz the tower" written on his flight manifest. Another great scene with lots of details. I like the falling oil drum, the RC plane, the knocked over bottle and the startled goose. And I think that everyone can relate to this because hey! who doesn't have a rusty old bomb and a human skull hanging around in the garden? :shock:

Very nice and fun piece but shh! no one mention the product placement :sst:

I've come to the conclusion that Wiking's dioramas need to be presented on video.

Agree with Fred!

This diorama is fantastic! :shock:

So much detail!! :drool:

What a fun!!! :-D

A masterpiece!!!! :yeah:

Everything is in motion and we are not only viewers, we are in the middle of the action and live with them. Class!!!! Congratulations!!!!

Finally, a question. Is it true that the airport is FRA? The similarity is astonishing !! ;-)

Your work is fantastic! :yeah:

I couldn't say it better than Carlos.
I tried hard to understand the story, as some friends seem to be able to do here. Finally I just accepted that there are things out there that I can not figure out. :oops:

Yes , you are right. It is impossible to understand and find a logic in this Dio.
As I mentioned already this plane was build for a workmate who get this kit from friends.

With some figures and situations or material who are only for insider.
As an example the small boy who will touch the head of the man and the figure on top of the tower who is chosen in 3d print. Or the black Monster energy bottle. The bad fixed wooden plate to the tower. The running one with the bow.

I told him that he get only a landing scene. (He thought a plane who touch the ground with the wheels!) :-D

Last week he get the Dio. He immediately make some pic and send it to his friends. Nice feedback.
Next day he told me that his family like it.

Masterful replication in miniature....along with a mad sense of humor. Love it. Subplot of RC plane with arrow in it is freaking funny. Is that a rusty bomb beneath the watch tower???? Hahahahahahaha. And a skull too. Hahahahahahaha. You inspire my friend. Inspire!
