"Ice Patrol" Diorama

ajrimmer42 · 07-26-09, 03:33 PM

Hi guys, thought I'd post some pics of one of my latest dioramas. A KV-1 Heavy Tank with some Russian Troops on patrol in Stalingrad. The tank is the Hobby Boss 1/48 model, and the troops are from Tamiya's new 1/48 range. I'm quite pleased with how this turned out, but still kinda want to add more to it, not sure what though, also I might redo the road as it's a bit bland. And if anyone's wondering, the snow is actually just sugar, I was going to use Bicarb of Soda but decided not to after hearing stories about it ruining paint. Let me know what you think!

Also currently building a convoy diorama with a Jeep, Sherman and a British patrol. And I've nearly finished a crashed Bf109 (got a really good way of doing grass which I'm wanting to try out, just gotta get the materials!) Pics will be up hopefully in the next week! Talking of which, I'm looking for a name for the crashed Bf109 diorama, any suggestions?

Fantastic eye for detail there.

Regarding the 109 I can only say "Lolwaffle"

(Or 'Fallen Eagle' if you prefer)

Its red army for sure.:rotfl:
Ive got the feeling the uniforms are slightly on the "bright" side. Especially the winter pattern.

Yup I had that feeling too, I think I used a bit too rich wash on them!
