Skarpotchi,

Thank you for the remarks. I paint my models and figures using Tamiya Acrylics. Sometimes, I also use acrylic paints in tubes for painting figures.

Again, thank you.

Looks great. One question: On the crew do you paint with oils or the regular stuff. I know, I know, look at the Hornisse. But the figures look great as well and i'm thinking of using oils...
Thanks, and great work.

I would like to thank you again guys for the remarks.

Luc, the grass is made of chinese brushes (the wide and stout ones). These are usually found in chinese arts shops. These are soft and easy to bend. Acrylics also adheres to it very well.

Thanks again all.

Actually I am not expert in German Vehicles either as I am just an ordinary OOB builder but if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. Smile [:)]

Thanks again guys.

Thank you very much for the kind words, guys. There are some things that I didn't do to make this look accurate but I am glad you found it OK.

"Hull Down"

Posted by Dwight Ta-ala on Monday, December 13, 2004 3:02 AM

This my entry to the ANZIO GB at LEM and is my 10th Diorama so far.

This is the Dragon 1/35 Hornisse built out of the box. Some items are from the spares box and the figures are from Dragon. Not much story in this one though. I just wanted to portray the Hornisse in its most effective position.

I may call it done for now although I am still pondering on replacing the rolled tarp. I was also planning of adding some branches tied to the barrel but it will make it look more crowded so I didn't push through with it.
