Well, it took me a while to get pics, and they had to turn out crappy. Oh well. Here’s something I finished recently, just as a fun project. Wanted to add a lot of variance to the ground cover and foliage. The WC is…blah, I don’t know. Probably Italeri. I got it off ebay as part of an auction, and it had no instructions. The half-track is the old Tamiya item, and was probably my favourite part of this project. All of the figures are Verlinden, and everything else (tree and house included) is scratch-built.
All comments welcome, point out anything I can use for the next go-around.
hey Z[:D]–first off, i am not a ‘diorama’ oriented guy normally, but while surfing thru, i saw yours and i must say, i really do like it-- i have looked through the pics several times–the jeep and halftrack are cool, and great job on the scratched house and tree, but what strikes me are the figures and their placement-- the father trying to help out the (lost?)soldiers, the mother taking her wash down,and the young daughter looking over her shoulder at G.I.s-- a little slice of wartime humanity-- this scene probably happened hundreds of times in reality-- in my opinion you got it just perfect in your diorama-- super nice job man[tup][tup]–tread[:D]
I AM a diorama oriented guy and completely agree; Fantastic job. Well built, colorful and interesting. I like the figure painting, especially the HT driver (Is he grimacing while taking off his helmet?). Great ground work and foliage- what did you use for the tree branches? SteveM
