Okay maybe not what you expected when you read the title but to Max that hydrant is definitely a target!
This is my second vignette in what will be my "Call of Nature" series. I've got one more planned out but I'm trying to come up with a fourth.
The BA20 is from Alan. Some of you might have seen my post of the finished build over in the armor section.
The street and side walk are scratch built using plaster of paris that was poured onto a peice of glass so that that the bottom would be perfectly flat when dry. After it had dried I used a compass to to scribe a circle then snapped off the excess and sanded the edges. The stone work was carved using my trusty old dental picks. Painting and weathing was done using acrylics and pastels.
The fire hydrant is made from scratch using of all things an old Tiger tank barrle from the parts box. The end cap nuts are grantline and the chains are PE.
The Finnish tropper is a combo of Tristar and Dragon parts with a Verlinden head. I had to rework the uniform a little to get it to look right. First by replaceing the buttons with streched sprue that was mushroomed. I made about thirty of them and from those I picked the best looking ones. The collar, epaulets and collar tabs were shaved off and new one's made using thin plastic strip. The hat was an M43 that had the brim shortened and the peak built up with some green putty.
Max is from the Tamiya livestock set.
For my third one I plan on breaking down and picking up the Masterbox BMW.
Well I hope you like it and as always all comments and questions are welcome![Big Smile [:D]](/emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif)
