Winter patrol

[Polux]

Hello to all.

My second project places in winter of 43.

Chill day, empty streets, desolate people and a Kpfw IV Ausf. G patrolling with panzer riders transported on him. My intention is to "freeze" the diorama. A source with frozen water, puddles of ice between the cobbles and snow.

To create this scene I will use these articles:

Pz. Kpfw the IVth Ausf. G - Dragoon (6363)

Winter Panzer Riders - Dragoon (6513)

German Village - Verlinden (2590)

Regards

Polux

Hi at all!!

Here I present you as the diorama it starts taking form. I like much the depth that the buildings give to the set, enclosed I am thinking very seriously to put lights in the house and the lamppost of the street. It can remain precious.

Hope you like it!!

Regards

Polux

Hello Folks!

I have started doing color in the general set and painting a bit the cobbles. Now I'm "fighting" with the manufacture of the pools of ice, in the photos still they are not seen well, I hope that in the near ones they are better. The buildings are modified behind and they have the soil of the first plant, now will decor his interior with wood and other extras and the soldiers are already prepared to paint.

Hi Polux

the dio looks fantastic so far. But may I make a comment please? You could consider arranging the buildings together (without the spaces inbetween). This removes the unwanted space between them and you will make the "walkways" in front and beside the buildings more or less the same width.

Polux, this is coming together very nicely and has all the makings of a great diorama.

Hello Adrian,I excuses for not answering before, tape-worm problems to publish photos, and an image costs more than thousand words. I don't also like very much these spaces between buildings, but if I join the blocks, the roofs don't fit and it does not seem that they were staying likely if "it was cutting them away". Verlinden's kit includes these small walls, which can be replaced with a few sheets of plastic up to the height of the roof. (To see photos with and without tank). The space of ahead I can create more surface behind (4-5 cm) to enlarge the space and to increase the diorama.

I wait for your replay, Thanks.

Hi Ron. Thanks, I'm with a lot of illusion to create a good diorama, and wait to obtain it. :weight1:

Hi to all!!

This weekend I have done some thing ... already ... very little, but I promise that this will change.

The building of the center starts having color (the yellow one will be softer after the weathering). And the big building already has the cap of imprimer.

With plaster I have made the small mounds that later will be snow.

And at the moment not more.

Thanks for looking!!

Hi Polux just caught this one looking very good my friend

 

[colin m]

Looking very nice. Great shading on those buildings. I've never done a dio myself, but can spend ages staring at them trying to take in all the detail.

Hi Colin

Thank you for your comments!!

To do one gave it's really interesting, even more if there are buildings in him, the possibilities are enormous. In this one I am preparing all kinds of extras (table with his plates, boxes, posters...).

I advise you to do one!!!

Regards

Polux

Here comes a photos of the soil. There are two textures of snow and also different tonalities of color. Once trodden the snow remains dirty....

It starts having snow also in the roofs and the "mansion" is decorated already of inside, is absent the interior weathearing and the figures.

That is spectacular, that snow is very effective! The houses are coming along nicely and since nobody has mentioned it before I like the tank too

 

[mossiepilot]

Nice, and the snow is very life like.
