Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hey yall!!! Well it has been snowing here in GA and I had been planing to do a few dios this weekend---so with the snow I thought I would give my beloved Marines a much needed brake!!!So I went out and took a few pics of a little stick throwing between the Krauts and some 327 Glider troops of the 101st Airborne div.!!!I hope yall like this'n cause it was pretty darn cold outside !!!

Sweet RED. and what a change from a coconut paradise island to a cold street filled with kruats

Fantastic shots! I love stuff like this!

Very nice.. Good to see your talents go beyond the pacific!

Dude,

That is totaly cool.

It looks like real life snap shots .

I like it !

Awesome!! Really like the buildings!!!

I could look at your work ALL day!!
Neat if you could put these pictures in a book!!

Another first class effort Red....great job.. The only thing I might have suggested was some black & white shots.

Hey yall!!! Thanks for the nice comments!!! The buildings yall like were easy to build!!! They are just the blue and pink fome board cut out into the shape of the building I wanted, taped all the sides together,covered with a thick coat of sheetrock mud,and then painted.Then I added some detail like the signs,broken glass,window grids,ect.!!!I had made these years ago back when 21stC 1st hit TRU--- I almost threw them out 2 weeks ago because I had not been useing them but thought maybe I could do something with them!!!I could not find everything I had with the buildings like the doors, rubble for each building,or street lights!!! This dio was kind of a rush job because it doesnt snow here in GA but maybe 1 or 2 times in every 10 years and its always gone the next day!!! So Im sorry for any flaws in my dio!!! As for taken my pics in black and white---I have always thought that most real pics of the war are b&w and how cool it would have been if the pics were in color!!! That way you really get to see all the colors and maybe a hint of what it truely would have looked like if you were there!!!And hey HOLENSOCK!!! I always print out my dio pics and put them into a photo book---that way I can look at all my dios any where or anytime I want to!!!I have no way to leave up all my dios so this is why I do this!!!I just set up a dio take about 50 pics,pack up everything and head home,download on to my pc,pick out the best ones,print them out ,and put them into my photo book!!! After I post them here to the forum 1st!!! If yall want I will post some more pics of the buildings and my photo book!!!---RED---

Very well done Red
While I was looking at the pictures, I thought on the 7th picture down that the US guy on the left had the Flame thrower and I was thinkin' that there'd be a little BBQin' to be done because you do it sooo well THe buildings are nice and the graphics look real too !!! Hats off to Red guys, I think he's the Master of Dio

If I can ever get caught up with things and get thru this wedding in April, I'll be getting some quality time to put forth for my Dio. Kinda leanin' towards the German re-supply depot complete with trains

Da General

Hey yall!!! Thanks Blasto---I cant wait to see your dio!!!Here is a few more pics I did before it got dark yesterday!!! Not much but I was trying to do something quick before it got dark cause I knew the snow would be gone today!!! I hope yall like this'n too!!!---RED---

looks great but the snow seams a little over scale, so maybe use like flour or something. you know what i mean, so if i where you i would keep doing coconut beach dios and not snow dios. you do great though, i love what you make.
do a ww2 town dio and enter in in the contest.
ps
my entry lights up and makes sound and it is all in my room

Keep up the great work- flyboy
ps. i got like 6 inches of snow ,its melting though. and we live in NC.
we dont seam to get much more than a inch or two.
maybe three

still the tiger looks great, and your town is amazing

Red, your stuff is always tops. I am surprised, I thought you did only Pacific Theatre stuff. After all this time, I never knew.

Thanks brother!!! Yes all of my dios are of the PTO but with the snow we got the other day I just had to do a ETO dio!!!I wish it wasnt such a rush job on this dio because after looking back on the pics I see so much more I could have done to add more detail!!! So maybe next time in 10 years or so I might have another BotB dio---Ill be ready next time!!! Thanks again---RED---

Very nice work.

Your Snow in the Dio looks great to me,don't change a thing,your pictures alway tell a great story,no matter what the subject is,don't stop!
