You'll need to upload the images to a non-private location so those of us outside your Outlook can see them.

Very nice diorama and well photographed. I like how the colors of the beast blend into its environment. Did you use epoxy for the water/swamp or is it "just" a non permanent diorama with real water/mud to not sacrifice the figure for that purpose?

[Derek.McManus]

Very impressive modelling thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I used transparent candle wax.

Nicely done!

Its small, but very nice.

This is an awesome diorama you made.  Sometimes when I look at my safari mammoth and calf I see the adult sinking in a tar pit and the baby trying to grab the  adult to help.  It can be I've been to the La Brea Tar Pits  in Los Angeles and they have something like that full size. I know I can't do anything like that.  I don't have the time or the patience to do it. Do you have any other diorama you are making at the moment?

thank you! i´m thinking about a savannah diorama with a Macrauchenia and a forrest diorama with a Dinotherium. But i´ve got to find the right material. the La Brea Tar Pits are a very attractive and defying scenery.

That sounds cool can't wait to see them when you finish. I'm sure model train stores should help in finding the materials.  I remember looking in a book about model trains and they showed what looked like savannah grass in the grass section of the book.

A nicely composed diorama that brought back pleasant memories of the Aurora Tar Pit kit from the 70's.

Wow, this is an incredible diorama! I love the tar pit.
