This will be my first entry into Terry's diorama GB.
The title sums it up, a group of German soldiers fighting a desperate rearguard action against the advancing Ivans.
The action will take place in the autumn of 1944 somewhere close to the Polish/Russian border. The backdrop is an abandoned KV-2 left from Operation Barbarossa.
The KV-2 is from this kit. I'd advise anyone to steer well clear of this one - it's a dog! Lots of annoying ejector pin marks, even on mounting surfaces
The figures are a very nice set from Dragon. Their Gen 2 stuff is pretty awesome.
I've started the base - it's a box photo frame with some polystyrene to add lumps & bumps with a coating of plaster.
Next is the grass... A square of faux fur in Sylvan Green
Then I've applied some green acrylic paint by hand to tone down the shiny quality of the fur. I'll be doing some more work to it in the next installment
Thanks for looking
