Bstarr3 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Some more progress! Beginnings of the diorama base started here. A wooden base from Michael's, and homemade mud. Soil from my back yard, playground sand, white glue, and a little water. The rock in the top corner and there little crater in the bottom, along with tracks for the wheels, made in sculpey with the mud mix applied over the top. The boards are coffee stirrers cut to size. I plan to leave this to dry for a few days, then will paint. Finished figures. Well, almost. I've had these set aside for a while and forgot that the last guy still needs a hat. The head came from the kit with a very obviously German looking cap, so I plan to make him an RAF style peaked cap out of milliput.

dennismcc Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Looks great, figures make me want to run a mile but they do bring things to life, yours look just the job. Cheers Dennis Troy Molitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis Thanks a lot. I do feel that the figures add a lot to a model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bstarr3 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 It's been a long six months of work on this project. I've loved working with this Tamiya kit, and the added challenge of my first diorama certainly added a couple of months. I am really pleased with how it turned out, even though it's not up to the standard of many of my fellow posters. Anyway, here is the completed diorama! More pics over at my RFI post. Thanks for looking, and for commenting, advising, and helping! Biggles87, Anthony in NZ, TenSeven and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
