15cm Sturm-Infanteriegeschutz 33

Just completed Cyber Hobby’s 1/35 Sturm33 with German 6th Army figures. Basis of the diorama was the 23rd Pz Div failed relief effort of the encircled 6th Army. Build was straight from the box with some barrels and jerry cans added from the spares box. This was my first attempt at white washing and modeling snow. The white washing effect was made using the hairspray technique. Lesson learned was to always lighten the center panels/upper surfaces. My base coat of Tamiya German Grey mixed with Neutral Grey and stripes of Field Grey did not provide enough contrast. Overall had a great time on this build, critiques are always welcome.

Neat little scene with the base and figures! Whitewash always looks good on these slab-sided hybrids. [Y]

I like it!

Nice looking build.

Thanks for the replies!

Pretty nice–I haven’t seen these finished in gray before, but it looks pretty cool with that scheme. It certainly sets the whitewash off!

Nice base and display too. Good to see that you offset the model from the sides–not parallel. :slight_smile:

looks nice. simple but effective base. looks like a 40% off hobbylobby plaque. mud looks good on the suspension. nice balance with the soldiers and the oil drums.
