I agree, the theme behind this is deep as hell. I think the scene is well picked up on overall but I also agree that placing his name on the older soldier somewhere would define it further.

Looking great, I like the kid, was it the one you wanted or a stand in?

Thank you on all the feed back guys. I knew it would be a scene open to interpretation. I just hope for those that seen the movie that knowing its based on the movie it helps them arrive at the same interpretation as they get when watching the movie. I felt the death of innocence was the big theme I got but hopefully it represents the movie great over all on its own.

@artica: Actually think I may "sign" my IP minis this way for this series. I also have the forum picture of my opponent that I beat last round in there too.

@nameless and wraithlord: They are not necessarily the same person but I did want to hint at the possibility that they are.

@cyberpaddy66: Yeah this was the kid in particular I was waiting for the skateboarder out of the set was my original idea but this one felt better when I opened the blister.

I think it works very well with the theme and wish you the best of luck in this round.

2 hours work tonight after work on the IP entry. Going to stretch this theme big time as I don't want to be one of the many shower scene minis.

can't see the 'psycho' element for now, waiting for progress

Eh, I can just say this one early will be a marine painting a mini for iron painter. Will be a desk and knocked over chair as he turns away. sort of a sureal thing. Did not want to do the shower thing as I literally have a mini for it sitting in front of me half done for some thing like that.

Hey, back to your dio scene...I think you really nee dto work on cutting it down to focus...Enough wall to block characters, a poster and figure on each side...enough to give a story, though it's open toi a bit of interpretation unless you have a way to timestamp it. But yeah, really cutting this down to focus on the two figures would probably help.

...and what's wrong with shower scenes!?

Oooh I am late with my comment about the diorama

but of course it is normal with me.
Anyway I write what I think:

The idea is great, and details gave it cool mood.

For me it is missing a little more dirt in the adult side ... maybe a trace of mud from a wheel, or a stain - spillage of chemicals.

And IMO the ladder is too big.

I also will wait with a comment about the new mini for more progress

Sorry for the delay all. I was at my girlfriends for the weekend.

@PaintMinion: I agree but live and learn. First time doing any form of a Dio period and in this contest its a good and bad thing for me. I am shrinking down the size of this next one by 50% (literally the base size) hopefully it will give the tighter feel.

Nothing wrong with the shower scene stuff. I just know their will be people doing it better then I can and I am going to try to avoid them and the head to head comparison. Besides I feel dirty with a half finished mini if I used it for this contest. I was working on the bath time for bubbles mini from croc games about 3 months prior to all this.

@Ana: Your right on the adult side of the Dio. The ladder is huge! I was sort of impatient in building it and rushed in its construction. Hopefully with I build the minis desk I will not be quite as bad.

Some of tonight's work.

Edit took out old pics and in following post updated ones.
