Time fly by ...

A wonderfull hello to every Member
who survived my (Denglisch) English till today.

So it is time to give you a flashback over the past ten years.
It started all in 2015 for me.
How to celebrate ?
I decide to show you the Dios with your most posts for every year.

In the beginning ...
I was back at home. From the Modelshow of Heiden. Verry late. Switch on my computer watch Benno`s and
Get a shock. I won !
And was not there. Go home too early !
I never ever expect to get, best of show with ... The race is on.
The rest is history.

2015

2016
Image
Maybe if you all know.
You search for something in the WWW and came across something total different.
For me it was the Royal Australian Navy with Chinese junk.
With that Dio I won also a theme competition.
So my workmates at that time get the second year in a row a Pizza.
They start thinking that this is normal :eh:

2017

Your most commended Dio in 2017. Next round. Or "ring my bell ... "

2018

This was done by a pic of the Falkland war 1982. They are not shot down. It was a technical fault.

2019

You can`t decide. All with equal amount of your posts.
All history.
The captured Arado 196 1940 by the Norwegians.
The unfinished De Shelde captured by the Germans.
The airbattle over Greece. The Italian Fighter ist not so correct.
And the low altitude flying Argentine Pilots of the Falkland war.

2020
Image
That towed copter was used (rarely) by German U-Boots to get vast sight in the Oceans.

2021
Image

Now we leave our planet.
Our solar system.
And faced the harsh Aliens of Melmac. Alf`s home Planet.

2022
Image
Now back in our solar system. There Oumuamua (You see his space port) passes us by all the stone planets.

2023
Image

You jump with superlightspeed back and forth. Now at Melmac again at the party zone.

2024
Image
On there way from Dunkirk .

2025
Image

My African Air(space)line of the 30ies till the future.
Great Air Yomp.

This trip was a wink of time.

I hope you all enjoy my wok over the past then years.
And hope to see you young and healthy for my next Dio.

The quality of the work goes without saying.
May I focus on the bases? Each, like the figures et al they support, is a little, unique masterpiece. Several are wood with beautifully shaped edges. Others support resin(?) surfaces. One, 2017, to be different has no base that you can see. Masterfully done.

Oh, & I do also appreciate the humour often put into composition & title. Keep them coming.

it's an incredible selection, in addition to the superbr level of technique and details, I admire the fantasy you have in creating the scenes !
All of these dioramas are masterpieces, my personal "top of the top" is the airbattle over Greece (I don't care if the plane is not so correct) !

Without a doubt, Wiking. ;-)

Thank you very much for this comprehensive summary of your dioramas from the last 10 years. Although all your projects are always very original and full of detail, if I had to choose a few, I would go for the first (2015) and the last (2025) for the scenes they depict, and the two from Melmac (2021 and 2023) for their great originality. :love: :notworthy: :love: :notworthy: :notworthy: :love: :notworthy:

And now I look forward to being equally amazed by your next project, my friend. :mrgreen:

Santi.

Yeaaahh, Wiking,
your contributions with your humour part are always a special treat. May you never run out of ideas. Seeing your gallery makes me reminding when I first saw them. Always had to think about it and identify riddles and scenes. And the artistic realization is always on the highest skills.
Greetings
Michael
