Hello,

Finally have taken some pictures of my latest build, a diorama based in Kursk.

Flammpanzer III by Dragon, the same with figures. Building and street scratch build, made of foamboard and split peas:smiling3: Bicycle and other objects from various kits leftovers.

Hope you like it:smiling3:

And couple pictures with one source of light:

@monica:

Colours are Dunkelgelb, Rotbraun and Olivgrun. Stardard ambush camouflage from late war. This particular scheme was used in Italy, with no evidence that them were in Kursk, but the war is the war:smiling3:

Building is my project from totally scratch. I have seen many many prewar pictures from Eastern Cities and I draw a building that look alike one of them. I wanted it to be taller but in this scale it wasnt worth it. Then I put dimensions on the plan. If you take that the flats back then were over 3m high and you add thickness of the floors, it gives you roughly about 7m. Divided by 35 (scale), thay gives you height:smiling3:. Bricks done in foamboard stripped off the paper and then stamped with a tool I've made, which was a bit of plastic with dimension of a single brick:smiling3: Then painted and weathered.

Thanks all folks for good words:smiling3:

The main images (the coloured ones) are very sharp and crisp despite the softish light (looking at the shadow edges). I have difficulty in getting such sharpness without using a single bare flash, which makes the shadows hard-edged (which of course is what gives me the sharpness in the detail).
