Looks pretty good. I will add a couple of comments though. The base looks unfinished. You have executed the groundwork great on the insides of the track. However, on the outsides, the built up areas are uncovered and look like painted plaster. You should cover it in the same manner as you did on the inside of the track. Also, the unfinished board ends looks bad as well. Try getting some moulding and cut with a miter saw to get nice 45 degree angles and making a frame around the diorama. It will finish it off nicely. Keep up the good work and work on the dio presentation and it will come out great. Only other comment, how about some spectators on the outside of the track? You see them a lot at road rallies. Tamiya does a few kits of civilians and pit crew in 1/24 that would work well.

Thank you Gino!

Those photos are made before I put diorama in frame. Outer side I wanted to show as cuted part of higher ground.
Now with frame, edges are covered and looks much better.

Unfortunately I didn't made any new photos after that.
For people, I didn't find anything good for it because that rally is in cold and bad weather and all figures are made for some nice and warm weather.

Looks good hrmodeler. I like how you got the mud spray up on the sides and rear of the car.
And as far as WRC goes, you couldn't have picked a better car. Yes, I am a huge Subaru fan (and owner), but I really enjoy WRC and think you did a fine job on the whole dio.

Wow, that is a rally diorama! I like it, because I personally prefer items shown within their surrounding, not single models. Just personal preference.

Regards.
Cagin.

very nice work my friend. Ur car looks super fine and the dio is also looking good. Some comments about the behind track areas of the road are correct and they should be filled
The shine u have achieved on the painted areas of the car is nice. Ur terees alre also nice . What are they made off? i think some natural material .

Keep like that Alternative dios ara also nice

Thank you Costas!
Trees are from rail roads accessories which they use for dioramas. But I added some glue and sand on it to get nice texture because they was thin and plain.
After that I painted trees.

I must make some photo with frame on diorama. Looks better with it.
I wanted coments from experts which I saw here many. Armorama was my first choice when I want to look for diorama advices.

But for my first diorama, I'm satisfied.

Because in rally cars goes one by one and difference between in their starts is couple minutes so there is no car in front of them who will throw dirty on car behind.

I love it!

It is nice to see the occasional non-military model.

The base (especially since as you said it is now "finished") is very nice, looks cold and wet.

One thing- wouldn't the signs be dirty?

I've got a couple (well 3 or 4) ideas floating around in my head for race car dios...just need some time.

Hope to see some more from you soon!

Jim
