Saw some of your dios on Navy Seals and SAS...Tot of sharing my very own..It's a small vignette of the Dragon's British SAS...Points to note about this vignette is that I painstakingly cut out small round clear plastics to act as the glasses for the gas mask. Quite tedious to do but quite satisfied with the end product. Also there are shattered glass on the floor (not sure if can be seen).

Impressive vignette Mr Psyfool.. Great idea of puting the glasses in the mask. It adds to the realisim.
Yup.. I can see the glass on the ground. Would you mind sharing with us, what you used for the checkered box groundwork? Oh.. and the strap on the shotgun too..

Thanx Ike..The gas mask w/o the glasses looks a bit weird so that's what inspired me to make the glasses...The black & white tiles is made of that thingy again, the styrofoam like cardboard u can find in stationary stores. I drew the lines for the tiles and used a soldering iron to scribe the lines to make grooves. It does not cut the cardboard but sort of like melt it. Then i paint black & white. This was an experiment that turn out surprisingly good! As for the straps, I used to use aluminium foil but recently, I use masking tape. Adding straps, though just a minor detail, really add to the realism. I make it a point to make gun straps for all my guns
