Just beautiful Dzohn.
Well thanks Doug, icicles, mmm not tried those yet.Always a first time .Bleeding' Hell John, I had to put my body warmer on!! Suddenly got chilly in ere!!
Nice!! How are you on icicles? Nothing like a rat, no teeth and no twitching noses!!!
Cheers Tony, probably wishing they were at home as well .Hi john , the frost/ snow looks superb , bet that tank crew were wishing theyd got a roof on it now !
Cheers my friendYour usual excellent standard, John.
John.
Thanks Neil, will leave it alone then .That's looking fabulous, John!
I think you've made the right choice-any more and you'll lose the lovely variations in the colour of the sets
Thanks Buddy .Just beautiful Dzohn.
Thanks Andy, always a problem knowing when enough vis enough.Just the right amount of icing on the cake is say. Lovely.
Good point Lee, thanks .Looks awesome John I don’t think there would be Rats running around outside with all the action and noise going on away I wouldn’t sweat it. Care on Commander.
Cheers Andy .Looks like just the right amount of snow John, marvelous work.
Andy.
I second that. John it’s the Dogs liking that snow effects looks cold there.Kindly award yourself the dogs
Thanks Paul .Now now Mr Race, your just showing off now Great work mate.
Thanks Jim, mainly down to Neil suggesting that amount of snow was enough. Quite difficult to do a small amount as you say .That dusting of snow is just right. As you say it's hard to know when to stop but I reckon what you have allows the quality of the dio build to show through.
Very kind of you to say Stephan .I just cannot get my head around the realism you and other diorama builders acheive, it boggles the mind as to how many different skills and techniques you have mastered to produce such perfection.
Kindly award yourself the dogs dangly bits gold plated and mounted on a scratch built plinth.
Thanks buddy .I second that. John it’s the Dogs liking that snow effects looks cold there.
Cheers Mick .That looks superb John, nice subtle snow fall
Those tarps on the wooden crates are looking fantastic John I’ve had much success with that product as wellTo day while sitting in the sunshine I used some VMS tarp paper and the liquid paper shaper.Used it before and is just the job, you can apparently use normal printer paper ,but not had to resort to that yet
First thing this morning was to glue the cases together. Once dry the paper was soaked in the solution and draped over the cases .
Using a brush and more liquid you wrangle the sheet, trying to get life like folds .

Once dry I'll brush paint the tarp .
Also did some chipping on the fuel drums, using Ak chipping .
Starting with the primer yesterday allowing to dry over night I applied a good coat of the chipping .Left it until it was dry and then brush painted the finished top coat.
With that dry and a bowl of clean water ready a small brush was soaked in the water .Repeated scrubbing , (not to hard as the paint was just dry) gave a reasonable worn look.
Next will be some thin lines where the barrel has been rolled and some staining around the top .View attachment 481625Thanks for looking in, off to do the tea .
