Excellent battle damage on the T-59 Glenn, and a great diorama in the making.

Only trouble is, your 'Mutt' has stolen the show a bit!!

Cheers,

Ron

Very interesting stuff Glenn.

I tried to make some 'Proper' 1/35 barbed wire for my 'Omaha Beach' dio. that I did on here, but I could never get the barbs small enough. So I just resorted to minute blobs of glue....once painted and rusted it came out alright though.

I have seen black cotton used to make it too.

I don't think I would have the patience to attempt your excellent method!

View attachment 38852View attachment 38853View attachment 38854View attachment 38855View attachment 38856Thank you Rob & Ian, LOL It's the smallest bloody ruler I could find, walking in a stright line is ok but make a turn look out you just cleard the coffee table. Not a bad idea It's take's about 2.5 hour's to make a foot, my first run was 4.0 feet and it makes about thirty scale feet. in 1/35 I'm sure the more I make the faster I'll get. I also made some four tine barb wire as well, what do you think the market would be willing to pay for custom barbe wire. regards Glenn

Spot On.

The more I look at that T59 the better it looks,I passed through the Suez Canal back in the seventies not long after it had reopened and there was still a lot of battle damaged machinery about including tanks, from memory you have got it spot on.

Cheers sharowjohn.

Thank you John, I'm pleased with the way it turned out, being my first attempt at battle damage since being a small boy with a candle and needle lol, I am however stuck on the OH-58D. I'm trying to simulate the rotors in flight but not having much luck. I've cut out some 1/32nd lexan blades and they are about the right size but I'm not happy with the shading (see photos of OH-58D in flight last post) I'll keep trying sooner or later I'll figure it out. but now I'm off to finnish my 1 to 1 scale M-4 sherman tank. I'm putting on the decals today lol. regards Glenn
