Geschutzwagen - Diorama / Finished! June 23, 2005

Posted by rtvmodeler on Friday, May 27, 2005 12:52 AM

Hello friends:

I started to build the Diorama for my Geschutzwagen.
I added a old ruins painted, but I need to add more details and paint too. For the base I used DAS plaster.

Soon more pics.

Rodolfo

Looks like your off to a good start. That beautifle tank needed a nice base to rest on!

NIcely done. Agree that you'll have to do more weathering to the ruins. Did you paint those graffiti onto the walls? Oh.. remember to get the inside walls done too.. Big Smile [:D]

Thanks for your kind comments friends!.

Here are more pics:

I airbrushed with dark grey and then with earth (Tamiya), afterwards I applied earth pigments (powder) in the floor. For the interior ruins I used light grey and then weathering with earth color (Tamiya) and pigments of the same color and also black. I airbrushed the exterior with earth color (Tamiya) and also with brick color pigments to give more realism.

Regards,
Rodolfo

Hello friends:

I checking real photos I added another detail. Something of dry blood mixed between the redryness of the land after of the rain.

for this, I used pigments in colours white, english reddish and earth with turpentine spirit

Looking great so far. Maybe a bit more rubble on the ground. Should be a masterpiece when finished!
