Arnhem WIP pt.2

Many thanks for your kind words lads. The furniture is resin, from model-plus. They are nice pieces to have.

I have since finished building the Horch and it has had its first coat of paint, next to come is the figures!

Great work...Thats a very nice piece...keep it up!

Oh, man... You gotta elaborate on how you built that building... It's a stunner.

Is it scratched or a kit?  If it's scratch-built, I'm throwing away all my pre-fab wall-sections and starting over using YOUR techniques...

Gents,

many, many thanks for your kind words! 

As for the building, it is a kit from Great North Roads in the UK, they have many "set pieces" and this one was just right foir what I had in mind. All I really have done to it is build it and paint as seen. The bricks have been weathered with three varing shades of brick red as mixed by myself and the wallpaper is courtesy of Verlinden.  The funiture and rubble were also perchased from aftermarket sources, all I've done there is to arrange and weather them with brick dust and paint. The wood bits are samples of bark from my woodland garden.

Hope that was helpful to you.

Very nice job. Looks like you are using some Dutton products for the road and sidewalks---some of my fav stuff to use but hard to find.  The building looks a LOT like an old Verlinden release that was called, I beleive, "Arnhem Mansion Ruin"...or something like that.  Be careful with the lamp post; I'm not sure many were bright metal (aluminum) in the 40's...Here's the last dio I did using Dutton products, a Verlinden building and the same lamp-post as yours (Tamiya):

Thanks Eric,

The road and sidewalks come with the house ruin as part of the kit, I see what you mean about the lamp post-mine is just a tad too clean. I think I may paint it again. I must say your dio looks very impressive! I hope mine turns out half as good as I am not the best figure painter in the world, hopefully they will pass muster when they are done.

Thanks for your advice, its much appreciated.

Thanks! The Horch is the Italeri version, I'm no expert but it looks fine to me.

Tango,  I wasn't questioning it's appearance, it does look fine, I simply noticed that the styrene colour and wheel assembly are different from those on the Tamiya version and did not know who made it.  It looks great!

Keep up the good work.

Looking very good!

And for the lamppost, most were fabricated from a mix of resin, or some sort. 

That's how one should look.. One that's old..  They were usually painted black, but got a green colour to them after a while..

I hope I got all my facts correct, and I am of any help!
