HUE têt 68

I like the setting so far. This should be good!

Looking good so far.  Is the wall home-made or a kit?  If a kit, who makes it?

Hello Phil!

Your dio is looking good so far, I'm glad you decided to post! Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Paweł

hello .

thank's , yes , heavy arty , it's home-made , look this :

 wooden stalks of 8 mm x 8 mm ,a plate of plexiglas or the glass , the adhesive tape , some plaster , small piece of wood or kadapak ( cardboard plucks ) for window or door .

" alt="" />

with a putty knife , you spread in the frame having to mix the plaster with the water so that is thick and to let dry .

" alt="" />

 I engrave the covered in plaster with a point has to trace to bound the place or I wish to reveal brick and with the small scraper , I remove a thickness .

 Well , Sirs .

Hello Phil!

Sorry to hear about your loss. Maybe a little modelling will help you think about that and feel a little better. Nice progress here! The buildings look impressive. I'd suggest toning down the "cracks" a little, they look a little overdone to me.

The foliage - plantsa and grass - look very good. Here you could put on some random pattern in different shades of green with an airbrush to vary the colour a little, and make it look even more realistic.

It's exciting to see the Ontos being built - with interior!

Thanks for sharing and good luck with your build, have a nice day

Paweł

Hi pawel .

 thank you , pawel , it's nice from you .

 Yes, a little model , it helps has to change the spirits and I like he my diorama a lot , it's even easier .

 I'm going to arrange that for cracks and to increase the differences of tints for the grass .

 For the ONTOS , I had to find a comment on MILITARY MODELLING or a person made a small scratch of interior , and I said to myself  : why not .

 phil .

There is a lot of stuff going on in this diorama. So far it's looking good.

Phil - 

I am very sorry for your loss...

Your build is coming along very nicely. I am immensely impressed with your scratch building patience and skill level. It looks wonderful!

Hello .

 Well , me here is of return .A little sticking of plastic for changing .

 the M48A3 :

 I just have to add parts in PE for the belts which stays in me of the duster .

The plastic short cape in DS please not me , as I have the kit from AGV , spanish mark , I replaced it :

 now , M37 , I have to realize hooks behind the cab with the thread of phone and 2 chains for the side rail with thread which we find in the relays of the car :

 I noticed that steps-feet were piercing , I do :

 and now , the ONTOS : 

 Since yesterday evening , I moved forward a little on the ONTOS .

I forgot some photos of M37 :

 that's good .

Hello!

Your vehicles are lookin' good! Nice job!

It might be worth it to replace the bumperettes (the rear bumpers) of the Dodge with parts made of sheet metal - copper or even beer cans will do here and the parts could look a lot nicer!

The tank also looks good, it's a Dragon kit, isn't it?

Good luck with your build and have a nice day
