1/35 diorama fight back

[gerry7944]

This is a 1/35 diorama of German troops moving through a Russian city.

The building is Mini art along with the knocked out ISU 76M.

The figures are a combination of Tamiya and dragon.

I have used Tamiya and Vallejo paints and Mig pigments.

The base is scratch built as is the rubble

Great attention to detail! that rubble looks super, so do the figures. I´m always amazed by the skill some people have with German uniform camo patterns, i never seem to get it right.

[Coen]

Me either. It's a constant struggle for me.
These are spectacular.

The rubble is a combination of 1/35 bricks, several rubble packs from different model manufacturers, cork pieces, broken up red bricks which I hammer to the right size and consistency cat litter and small pieces of broken up balsa wood and cocktail sticks. i get a large Tupperware box and mix these all together into what I call my rubble box and voila. I lay it onto the diorama on top of thinned down PVA glue and also apply over the top of rubble. Once this is dry I give it several washes of thinned down acrylic browns, dark yellows and black before finishing with a dry brush of light gray.

The uniforms I use either Tamiya or Vallejo paint. I give the figure a base coat of the main co lour say dark yellow I then decide what co lour the c ammo is going to be ie dark green and red brown I then lay down various shapes with these colors onto the base co lour. If it is pea dot c ammo I then take say dark yellow and with a very fine brush apply small dots to the green or red brown.This is tedious and can take a while but the results are good. I then lightly dry brush with a lighter co lour of the base co lour.

Hope this helps.
