Louis,

Salute! The legend of these three Gladiators is one of my favorites. I have been meaning to build a Malta Gladiator forever. You built a diorama of them--thank you!

This dio lives. The foilage and groundwork are wonderful. How did you make the cactus?

Great job!

Louis, if you haven't already, please start up a museum on Malta. Those ships and aircraft of yours would do such a project justice.

Guys thankyou all for your kind comments about my diorama....Karl my aircraft dioramas are already at The Aviation Museum in Malta I simply have nowhere to put them in my apartment....I will soon have problems with my ships :):)
Fredrick the cactus was a very laborious and tedious jobs....I simply rolled tiny pieces of milliput ...then squashed them a bit and they then look like cactus leaves...then I stuck them together piece by piece....a lot of work but it was the only way ....and to portray Maltese countryside without cactus is simply not right :):)
Best regards from the little island of Malta

Sounds like you may have to set up a branch office in Pantelleria!
