Alone and in Jeopardy...

[Jeeves]

Thanks guys! Been working when I can on my two dioramas (vignettes?)...I'll be glad when summer starts Friday afternoon and I can take more time in the shop.

Worked on the brick side...I know Kilroy was pretty much an American GI thing so after doing some research, I found that in WWI, the Aussies had pretty much the first iteration of the theme with Foo- which might stand for Forward Observation Officer? Either way, I liked the idea of having a remnant of the Great War in this piece...still will add more to the wall but it's a start.

On the color side, I figured handpainting a Libyan flag piece from an online photo I came across would make for more color...still have graffiti to add but I'm pretty happy with it.

Looking great so far. Keep it up!

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks again everyone!

B&W side is nearly there...took these pics so I could better see the area's I need to touch up....

And the color side of the wall is ready for terrain work...

 

[Jeeves]

Well...I'm thinking I'm nearing the end on this one. Other than maybe some more stowage in the pick-up. Open for any advice or critique. Thinking of calling it Ghosts in the Desert.

This turned out great Mike , the color - b/w thing is a very cool aspect .
Good , now that you're done you can start stacking firewood , mine should be showing up in a couple of weeks . Matter of fact I'm going surf fishing with the owner of the tree service in about an hour .

Ugh...been way too hot for that Glenn Apparently NY thinks it's Florida this summer and is having a major identity crisis...

Thanks for the looks guys!

Great concept Mike. And very well executed!

What a great concept...i love it!
The contrast on either side of the wall really works as does the 2 variations in technicals.

Just an observation. The B&W truck and figures all look like they are a blue-grey. The ground and wall on that side don't seem to have the same type of grey. I'm wondering if you were to take a sepia ink and give it all a light coat to give it a sepia type tint so that it would all have a consistent brownish sepia look then it would blend together.

The concept is awesome and your execution so far is superb. Just something I am picking up on.
