Dear Nick, I work at ToyCollector.com and really love your article "WWI Diorama from Battle Scene Productions"!
Kind regards, Anna

Nick, [Stalingrad Factory] Incredible work! Awesome scratch building!!!! There is nothing like it..it’s the only way to fly! Fantastic!
The building is awesome...great detail!!!! The figs are in great positions and it really captures the mood...it is on!! I love the smoke too! The shots with the sky as the background are fantastic.... Again, Incredible work! Your hard work shows.

Wow!! The [Stalingrad] factory building ruins, just by themselves, look so cool! And then the soldiers--their positions, their body language--all combine to tell a vivid, hard-hitting, desperate story.
Words fail me. This piece of work is just unbelievable in its attention to emotional nuances and the small details which make it look as though you are seeing a glimpse of real life.
I especially loved the interior of the factory, with the fighting happening on two levels: the ground floor and the upper-level catwalk.

The quality of your work certainly merits sponsorship by all of the finest toy soldier/military miniature producers. With Honour Bound, Figarti and K&C on board, you will certainly have no shortage of excellent material to work with. Congratulations and keep up the excellent work!

Alex,
I'm really glad your new site is getting a lot of hits. It should do. The site is very well thought out and easy to navigate and the quality of the dios is first rate. I hope that you and Nick keep it going at the same pace, it's obvious that you've put a lot of sweat and tears in to it.
Many thanks
Simon

Simply stated, the creative work you and Nick do is awesome! Best of luck with the additional and new challenges. I really, really look forward to seeing what you do to represent additional eras!
Warmest personal regards,
Pat

A BSP Thunder Run - now that's what I'm talking about! Real nice dio Alex, very impressed.
Simon

As always, nice display BSP, you guys are getting better with the camera and back grounds. Keep up the great work, Mike

That is a great scene you have constructed! It is nice to see your talents applied to a variety of times and settings. You and Nick do outstanding work!
Warmest personal regards,
P. W.

Wow! Simply wow! You continue to amaze me. I can feel the heat of the battle and the emotions of the foot soldier.
Those Continental soldiers are retreating towards Morristown,NJ ( GW HQ)? The scene looks like the forest of Sleepy Hollow in Basking Ridge, NJ where the troops encamped after the retreat from New York in dead of winter. Maybe GW crossing the Delaware River is next?
N-P

That is awesome! Great work again. Alex

Really impressive scenes Alex. I am always glad to see your creations. What talent. Leadmen

Excellent job, bring us more.
Cheers

debrito

Nice job, good camera work for my taste. Now you can clearly see the product and a theme to boot. That was what you were trying to accomplish right?
Carlos

Gotta be some of the best I have ever seen keep up the good work guys.
Charlie

What a fantastic diorama. You guys certainly provide the inspiration for me to try and emulate your excellent work and results
Best Regards

Great dio guys, like the trees buildings, everything. I think you do bring it to life, keep up the great work. Mike

Outstanding piece of work! You have perfectly captured a historical meeting of the war.
May 1864 Spotsylvania VA... Alex I am most impressed and doff my old gray kepi to yours and Nick's skill- simply superb and you could be in danger of turning the ACW into a popular era here on Tree Frog-Holy Cow!

Now wouldn't that be something!

Reb

That is an outstanding scene. Very well done.
Brad

Very nice indeed. I like the way you captured the moment (I was just looking at it along with the war-time photo of the meeting), plus added a lot of background interest with the band, horses, etc. Love your work. 6th Wisconsin

That is one great shot. The background / dio set up is very detailed, and your Spielberg effects are brilliant. Really get a sense for the pace and urgency.
Cheers
Simon

How'd they do that!!! Fantastic -
mestell

That is one sharp looking piece of work!
Great Job!
Njja

Nice job Nick. All your stuff is first rate.
Brad

Once again, your skill, talent, creativity, and craftmanship astound me! You do magnificent work. Thanks for sharing this beautiful diorama with us.
Warmest personal regards,
Pat

Very nice buildings Nick, the scale is immense and great for table dioramas.
Carlos

Great work as always Nick; can't wait to get them here so I can sell them and you can make more for me, you know how that goes.
Warrior

VERY impressive.
Mikew9717

Nobody tears up a town like Nick.
Shiloh

Your buildings are really some nice work. I am very impressed with your talent and modelling skills Nick. Thanks for posting the pictures. I tried some foam this week and my wife said I made better dioramas twenty years ago and I should do better. Still trying.
Leadmen

Now that is one damn pretty jungle.
generalsoldier

Nice job with the water and all the junk in it. The color fits the mood. Everyone is going to be jealous of the palm trees and want to know exactly where you got them, myself included...
MarcT

Your work is very, very impressive! Do you plan to enter your diorama in a competition? I think it would compete very well!
Warmest personal regards,
Pat

I like your realism Nick, you can almost smell the jungle. Your diorama is right up there with some I've seen done by plastic kit builders, and I trust you know how clever some of those guys are.
OzDigger

WOW!!! Nice job nick what did you make it out of?...
fishead1969

I had a second while some paint is drying. KCdealer called me and said that I had to see your work and shouldn't wait. Nice job. I have spent 20 minutes sitting here looking at your work and picking it all apart, piece by piece. With my computer I can blow the pictures up in size to get a better look. The broken lumber look is an effect that I need to do a better job at. You have prefected it here. I am having difficulty breaking my wood to achieve that splinterd look. That and giving it a distribution that looks real and not contrived.
Your stonework is good also in particular the stone rubble on the ground. My only critism is that your work is to detailed and once again may detract from the figures. The open space on the road is good...
My compliments on a nice job, even if it is in your garage. I would have liked to have viewed it in Chicago. A little repair and maybe next year. Now I really have to get back to my paint.
MarcT

That is a very, very nice diorama. Will you be making/selling duplicates of this diorama or will this be a one of a kind?
You do very nice work!
Warmest personal regards,
Pat

Terrific dio Nick, and I say again, you should go into the nursery business with realistic trees like that

OzDigger

The detail is incredible. For me, I am more of the mostly whole building front club.........
Michael

Hey Nick,
Very good work.
Ronnie

P.S. Nick the music store front is awesome. You should be proud of this piece it is definitely one of a kind.
Shiloh

I can vouch for the quality of Nicks work........It is as good as any other I have seen. madadicus

Thanks a million Nick for doing all you have for me and my customers.................

Nice scenes Nick.
I like the FOV stuff in your dioramas, I've been toying with the idea of using smoke like you have it displayed in your scenes. I always like seeing your new creations.
Carlos

Another nice diorama. I spoke with our customer this morning and he was very pleased. Now we are working on the right combination of vehicles and figures to fill it up for him.
Thanks again for the great work.
Ronnie, Cross Roads Die Cast

Very cool, Nick--but do you get any guff over the somewhat-gory figures? Some guys don't dig that at all. Nice work all around, although you forgot to put tire tracks in the soft roadway sand/dirt. It looks like they ambushed a sitting car? The buildings look great! the doog

Nice...looks like you put a lot of work into this dio...overall nice impression; if you break it down into smaller elements there are some rough spots...I'd say that your scratching the bldgs is the most impressive aspect of this work... Eric V.

Not being a Dio-builder (lurker)....as the passer-by...This is a beautiful Dio to the eye! Great job!(and you've had some great criticism!) namrednef

Incredible job on those buildings, just awesome! Lufttiger

Looks great, Nick! You've really got the look of demolished building and streets down! the doog

Very cool stuff, Nick. Looking forward to seeing some recent work. Steve

Excellent job! Nice scratch building on the diorama, good composition, excellent painting and color choice overall. Figures look great! You've really given the scene a sense of cold and the boredom of waiting around. Very nice work!! Thumbs Up [tup] senojrn
