My first diorama - WWII battle - Page 4

twitch_tweak · 29-01-2008

Okay well I got some pics.. The tanks arent finished like I said. The silver speckles on them are supposed to look like marks from bullets. I havent washed over the tanks yet so they wont be so noticable. I have began to place some of the soldiers on. In the process of blending them in with the ground also.. Plus the tanks arent attached and the bottom of their treads will NOT be showing..

Can you get some better photos - the last ones look really over exposed and the lighter ares are just bleached out. It's a little hard to offer any advice otherwise.

Well I got some new pics. I've recently attempted to add some form of weathering to the tanks. I read on a site awhile back that if you use old make-up it can be quite usefull, so I asked my girlfriend for some old make-up and gave it a shot. It didnt really show up quite so much on the actual tank body, but it worked out nice to clog the treads and show some wear. The pictures are pretty bright ebcasue it's been snowing non-stop this week.

Looking very decent so far at the ground work level. Like previous viewers I would say the same about pressing the tank tracks in..............also you might want to consider adding a destroyed french barn......but if you have already added a broken wall and debris that is fine. Im a new member and havent uploaded anything yet but am working on a similar idea with a King tiger in Hedgerow country........

PS....try static grass maybe someones already mentioned it but heh...im new!
