Well, I built a Sky Ray and a Pirhana, and I had this glob of expanding foam insulation laying around that reminded me of a fat dead tree, soooo....

Some poor Tau forward observer at a post built into an old dead tree gets a surprise when an assault force buzzes by unannounced.

Hey, that' kind of cool, John! Nice work!

Unfortunately, I can't view it, thanks to the COMM Nazis.

Have to remember to check it out next time I'm over at the Cyber Cafe.

If I email the pics to your military addy from home, will they come thru?

Yessir, they most definitely should! :)

Nicely done!

Top work as usual John....especially good given the scale

Yessir, they most definitely should! :)

On their way!

Top work as usual John....especially good given the scale

Thank ya, sir. I'm not really sure of the scale actually. It seems smaller than 1/35, yet larger than 1/48.

Got the pics. Thanks, dude.

Excellent work, as always, John! :thumbsup:

Interesting side note: my first paint job on the tree, I started with a coat of brown and gave it a black wash. My wife happened by and said "Why are you painting a pile of Poop?

:lol:
I decided to go with a more "birch" color scheme after that :).

Nothing you haven't seen here, but I put it together for my website:

Very Nice Diorama, wow- looks like a lot of work. Great Job! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Cool!

Ultra fantastic, john....very well done!

Looks great and if you stand a 1/48 scale figure next to a Warhammer figure they are real close, so if you need oil drums and gas cans buy the Tamiya 1/48 set they look good and fit on the kits with few problems.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Hey John,

I think that looks fantastic! That foam as a tree was inspired, it just looks great! Well done.

Nice job, spray foam makes great replacement smoke for the PL Hulk kit.

I punctured a can of the stuff once, so I've got this piece of plywood with a 2-foot diameter wad of foam that looks like a cloud stuck to it. I'll think of something to do with it SOME day! :lol:

Well done... I like your work !!! impressive what you can do with the FOAM !!!

Maybe I should look into it .....


Keep the good work coming !

Very innovative John. Great work all around.

Nice to have a year old post dug up and complimented.

:)

That is excellent!! It really shows imagination. Really cool idea and build. Well done John. :thumbsup:
Chris.
P.S. Love the tree!!

I meant to compliment John on this one, too! The equipment's got a definite "Aliens" feel to it.

Excellent paint jobs all around!

:)....
