Anybody Home..? (pic)

Posted by djmodels1999 on Saturday, December 27, 2003 11:56 AM

Just a pic of a model I built several years ago and placed in a little 'diorama'. The kit is 1/76, Matchbox, PanzerJaeger IV/L70 (late). Neat little kit... I engraved a Zimmerit coating with a blade straight onto the plastic on this one...

The vehicle was caught in a narrow path and while manoeuvering (and knocking over part of the wall behind) has been knocked out by a single shot. After the danger has passed, a farmer inspects the damage...

Thanks for the post DJ.

The Zimmerit is in inspiration.

Nice little diorama Domi. Isn't pretty time consuming doing the hot knife treatment? I almost considered that for my 1/35 Panther. Now that would be time consuming.

Eric, no, I go for the cold blade treatment... Less risky!

Very nice DJ. I like the damaged wall. What did you make it out of?

Trevor Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

Trevor, it's just a little bit of 5mm thick foam board. The 'tiles' at the top are little bits of plastic card. The tree is wire + paris plaster + tiny pieces of a sponge...

Here's another pic showing the side of the tank, unfortunately a bit blury...
