looks like this is going to be very interesting bobby, cant wait. cheers tony

hi there tony. cheers mate. i was just wondering if u could help me or if anyone else can, i need some 1/35 scale german uniform decals, preferably wehrmacht and have see them in a few places but i would like to buy them from the forum store and start to help contribute to this friendly forum. can they get them in for me so i can get them from them?

Hiya Bobby. Ive read your project with great interest, its brilliant to know youve really gone in depth on the background of the scene you want to create. In my opinion its really important to have that cause i just think it makes the whole thing so much more "real". To have that story behind it brings the whole thing to life , so well done.
Enemy at the gates is truely awsome, i would say one of the best movies i have ever seen, watched it so many times, its one of them you can just watch over and over again. Not seen the other two films but im starting to put a collection together :-)
The KV1 looks an awsome kit as does the figure set, i reckon you are ganna have a lotta fun with this, and the dio. As i said with my thread, one of the really great things about these GB's is the fact we take on stuff that perhaps we would not normally, so hats off to you for going in the deep end, respect.
Anyway i will very much be in for watching this all the way my friend, have a great time with it, best regards Martin :-)

thanks martin. like yourself, i have never done a tank before or figures before or even a dio before but i'll give it a good shot. i hope the finished piece does seem "real" and i'm gonna try and give it gritty and dark emotion that tells a small story it's self.
and cheers graham. i hope i am going to think outside the box, i think being new modeling helps me do that. i've got a few ideas that people might find interesting that i havn't seen in dio's before (but i've only seen a handfull). i want to try crater's and mid explosions with the use of real smoke ( at least for the photo's). and will add little custom's to my tank and figures.

anyone reading this,feel free to give me any helpful hints and tips. for figures, tank weathering,tracks,rust, burnt things, snow, ruff muddy ground anything that might be in the idea. it would be greatfully excepted. thanks.

Hi Bobby, ive been gathering loads of info from all sorts of places to help me. Certainly the internet is a great place to start, ive found some brilliant referance photos of the T34/76 that im making, these show where the paint wears, how they weather, how they get muddy etc etc. Also picked up tips on weathering etc from this site and previous threads. Same with the dio i shall do, some great previous threads on here for inspiration....oh and i even joined the libary...they have some books on model making and dio's...they are rather old but still very much applicable. I also buy the odd model magazine if they have interesting articles in, so ive gone over those especially for the figure painting stuff to see how they do it. One last thing i went into my local Games Worshop...and asked for a demo on how they do their figures, they may be si-fi stuff etc thatthey do but again the same methods can be applied to military stuff.
Hope this helps bud...just remember dont be afraid to ask a specific question on here...ie "how do you lot create snow" i know the guys and gals on here will do all they can to help. SAll the best mate, regards Martin :-)
