Recently completed vignette

What-if JagdTiger 1, this is my most recent completed project. Granted, what-if's are not everybody's cup-of-tea... tea, get it ? Most of you guys being British. I mean, Lol....

 

[Mark1]

Looks good.

Ron, that is most interesting.........and a very logical approach to "what might have been". The late war camo is the "Bomb" and I have only seen it on a Tiger ll.....you have kept this in the realm of believability and that makes it even better! Well done to you, Sir. The base is a work of art......did you have a specific location or time frame in mind when you rendered this? Rick H.

 

[RonGlass]

Hi Rick, glad you like it ! I would figure mid-1944 , I suppose. Sorry, really hadn't put that much thought into it. Lol, I just really liked the model kit and couldnt resist. The octopus camo, hmm. Overall I'm satisfied with the result. The rather-large "suckers" were originally red oxide, but I think it's better all Olive
PS not sure whether either T34 turret fits into the timeframes they were in my spare stash and I gladly pressed them into service

Hi Ron, I didn't know that camo scheme was referred to as octopus camo.....makes sense though. I have only seen it in yellow over a green background.... I guess it would be subjective, as there really aren't any color pics to work from that I am aware of. What did you use for the "wire" wrap on the barrel?

[RonGlass]

Oh, the red oxide suckers were my own spin Rick, and imo the looked terrible so I went back over those with the Olive. The original octupus camo (I'm no authority on this) I had seen had smaller, more numerous suckers, olive on dark yellow, vice-versa. This whole affair on my model, just having fun experimenting with something different.

PS Rick, sorry, cant remember the manufacturer of the chicken-wire mesh wrap for the barrel.. I'm thinking it's either Royal Model, or Verlinden though.

Very imaginatively put together Ron.

Superb effects giving a very pleasing 7 authentic appearance, Very nice work indeed.

,
Just remembered , the faux wire wrap came from Diodump.com. as 1/35 chicken wire

 

[RonGlass]

Rick that wrap came from Diodump, 1/35 chicken wire

Hi Ron

Yes just love diorama. They tell a story. Plus after spending all the time building a model it sets it in it's normal environment.

For friends as well viewing your stuff I am certain they look further at the detail as there is so much of it.

Downside they take a lot of room. I know well my room is near choked.

Stunning work Ron. Very impressive and great to see

 

[Tim Marlow]

Lovely job. The subject is excellent, but the mud and moisture on the base make it really pop. All round, an excellent rendition.

 

[RonGlass]

Steve, Tim, Thanks guys !

Cracking work Ron, really liking the mud effects.

 

[RonGlass]

Thanks Papa !

Hey Rick, you asked about the wire wrap. Just occured to me, its "1/35 chicken wire" available from DioDump. I dont think he's on Ebay anymore so you might have to google it.

Hi Ron
Very nice. A very well put together dio. The muddy groundwork is superb.

Excellent mud & turrets lying about is very cool. Wear'n'tear on Tiger is also adding interest. Well done Ron.
