I have been modelling for over 30 years, now run my own figure company. Fortunate to have met some of the best and own a few of their legacy …….BUT I can honestly say you inspire, your work is excellent and the fact you share, makes you, to me , one of the best modellers of today. I do not use that term lightly, you have fast become the Verlinden , Paine of the now!

I really appreciate your little talk about how you do "peaceful" dioramas at the end, because it's exactly what I like to do as well for dioramas and your videos are certainly a reason for that. I didn't think military dioramas of big manly soldiers in extreme action scenes were really for me, but then I found your calmer and gentle scenes and I find that so much more interesting. Like you said, showing the humanity of soldiers, even during war.

Verlinden pratiquait la même philosophie lorsqu’il créait ses dioramas très rarement guerriers du reste. Ses figurines empruntaient des postures nonchalantes de la vie quotidienne, le matériel de guerre n’étant qu’un prétexte pour mieux les sublimer et refléter une époque. Avec vos créations vous lui rendez un grand hommage. Continuez à nous émerveiller ! Merci encore. 🇫🇷

It has been said that being a soldier comprises long stretches of boredom punctuated by moments of terror. Other modelers try to capture those moments with varying degrees of success. I'm happy to see the boredom. For that matter, this may be one of the transitional moments in which the brothers are trying to determine who is on their side this week, and will they run into friend or foe down the road?

Having been to Afghanistan - these trucks are pretty common there even if they're not what comes to mind when you think "Afghanistan".....and none of the many roadsigns we put out there lasted more than a month after they were put up except the massive overpass or highway ones. This was doubly true for any rural signs which often disappeared within 24 hours. Everything got knocked over with a truck or yanked out with a mule and recycled into local sheds or whatever else needed a flat sheet of steel. Just another example of how us westerners never really understood the place or the people, even in the beginning, and how that misunderstanding led right back to the place Afghanistan is once more. Model is awesome though, as is the diorama work. I am glad to see you do a 4x4 and I am hoping to do something similar with the Bronco Gaz 69 I've got sitting around waiting to be finished.

You missed the super fine moon dust. Rocks and normal sand, but there was also this supper broken down ultra fine sand that filled the air when walking around. It would pile up on road sides or high traffic walking routs. 218 days in Afghanistan and I never seen a single blade of grass... Rocks and dust, yep, Taliban, yep, grass (or anything green) mmmmmm nope. After my tour I went to Germany for vacation and it was mind blowing seeing all the forests.

Next time you paint a large volume of wood like this, doing one side at a time, start off by applying a coat of lacquer thinner to open the grain on the wood up and then apply a thin layer of diluted pva. This will seal the grain and prevent the veneer from absorbing the medium of the paint and allow it to go a lot farther. If you’re using household paint this step could arguably be negligible but i know you’re running a business so any steps you could do to save resources would be worthwhile, especially if you’re using modeling acrylic lol so, yeah I’d probly seal that wood first. This turned out gorgeous by the way, I love how you can take a fairly common uninspired model and somehow make me want to get it and do something with it myself! You are by far the best scale modeler on you tube ma’ freeend!
