“Killer” M4A2 on Roi-Namur - the famous photo in 1/35

Simply superb diorama Jeremy! The vehicles are excellent, faithfully done to the original pic. The figures are excellent, nice subtle shade and shadow and highlights, really makes them stand out without being too vibrant. Nice groundwork too especially the palm tree.

Magnificent job Jeremy!

Jeremy the only suggestion I could make is maybe put a blue/ light blue poster board background behind the dio and try some pics with that. The uniform issue was brought up by others and it looks like you’re on your way to adjusting that.

Love this diorama- one of the best I’ve seen in this site Jeremy!

Thanks, Mike. I’d been using the painting guide for USMC figures from Vallejo which is based on their USMC tanker colour, but you are right to mention actual reference images. I should have known better!

Not sure, Michael. I’ll take a look at what C.O. might say in his book after I finish redoing my figures.

Thanks a lot, Richard. Ok, I’ll try your suggestion when I’ve repainted the uniforms and post some snaps.

Jeremy,
Everything looks great and accurate to the photo reference, if it was being judged by myself to IPMS rules etc, I would give it a 10 out of 10 for accuracy to reference. And as for painting set guides I have been caught out by them so ofen I ended up buying a couple of German, American and British uniform books to help myself :joy::rofl::rofl::rofl:.

Like everyone else has said beautiful work, and if your ever keen on coming to The Australian Model Expo thats held in Melbiurne every Kings birthday weeknd I would love to see more of your work and get to meet ya.
Best Regards
Mike

This is really a tour d’force of artwork. The figure painting alone is top shelf.
