                        A couple of Marders taking time out from the battle to replenish supplies and
                        ammo.A couple of stragglers have come upon the scene to catch some much needed rest. This dio was as much new to me as it is to all of you in that I had never used foliage on German vehicles so this was pretty much a trial run.






                        ....if you would like to see the rest ...

                        Hey Russ,

                        Another fine piece of work. Great weathering on the vehicles and I like the camo job on the uniforms. My only complaint is that you didn't take an overall pic of the diorama with both Marders, so we can get the full effect...lol

                        Thanks very much guys, the groundcover was done the same way as in the dio "Prime Movin" cept maybe a few more ingrediants like wood bits from Micheals,grass and hay.
                        If rubble is called for I treat it in the same fashion as sand and attach it the same way.

                        Wow, what a huge difference since the last time I saw this! Once of your best yet Russ, this is one awesome piece! The foilage on the marders really turned out great, and the barn is top notch, great figures!
                        SmokinPiece, I believe that Italeri makes a Marder, and Tamiya makes 2, the Marder III and the IIIM.

                        Thank you all for the comments,unfotunately Smokin this is the Marder IIID kit from Allen
                        and yeah had a few runins with a couple of other Allen kits,unfortunately not the most pleasurable builds.
                        I guess it all boils down to time Zo, if one gets to work at this stuff everyday I would consider him or her ...very lucky!
                        Thanks again everyone and keep buildin.

                        excellent dio sasd. did you airbrush that? i ask because there are alot of tiny details in there, especially the soldiers uniforms, but also big parts, such as the armored units. thx for the pics and overall, excellently done

                        Yep,Kelly`s right about the airbrush,I can and have owned and used artists airbrushes in the past but now where I live I don`t have the space,so I make do with the hand brush painting. The only time it gets a little annoying is painting the undercarrage of a truck,man I hate that,lol!!

                        ah, it ook a close look at the pics and now i see the excruciating detail u put in there, lol, u damaged the treads, scribed in damage to the tank and have the entire thing different shades. But I have one question, how did you get the different colors on it? do you use enamels for that or are you another acrylic modeler ... Banged Head [banghead]
                        heh, other then that, i Bow [bow] to your skills, lol

                        Thanks for the comments guys,yes Icedragon I am another strictly acrylic modeler. The
                        different colours your referring to are the camo colours on the Italeri Marder?? They are exactly that,I wanted to break up the base colour in a subtle way so drybrushed a tri-colour camo,I don`t own an airbrush.
