Norway 1943. [Water, and COMPLETE!!!!]

Thanks, Jim & Chris! Glad you comment!  I like the eyes quite much myself!

Ok..  I got arms on now, and I just need to weather him SLIGHTLY.. And then, he should be done. I have named him Baltazar, and it will be in the title, once I figure it out. So, here he is!

Jupp, the pole has been attached.. A slight glitch on it, but it is fixed...

A closeup:

And I fixed the issue with the tracks.. I hope...?

This is very, very close to getting done.. I'll call it done when everything is on, and will experiment with another figure a little later....

    Hey Huxy nice piece of work! That signpost came out spectacular.

  Nice job on the Panzer I and the fig also. Imo black uniforms are some of the hardest to paint but you've pulled it off very well.

Thanks!!

Manny: This coming from you, really warms my heart..  I've seen your spectacular figures, and they are just top notch!!

Steve: Yeah, black is pretty hard.. I'd say white is even harder, altough less used..   The way I paint black uniforms do indeed turn out good!

Right now I'm attaching everything to the base.. I've painted the letters on the sign aswell. I just came back from touching up the wooden frame of the base with black, and are going to put a glossy coat of Johnson's ontop of it...  Now I am really coming to near end!!

two thumbs up on this effort Huxy!

WOO!! I think it'd look good. Not that it doesn't look good now (It really does!!)- but I think it might be the beginings of a title, like "Baltazar’s Tale" ...or something.

Thanks New Hampshire!

Chris: Ya, I think it may look good...   We'll see..   I will atleast call this done when I get it done.... And experiment with a figure a little later..

So here's an update..    I started working on the sign, to write something on it. For the case of simplicity and shortness, I decided to write "Oslo".

I first tested it out on the same sheet I made the tutorial about...

And went on the "real" deal:

And then making the paint look like it was painted on wet:

Now what's this? A hole with a drop of whiteglue in:

Then we got this in:

Then attached the sign, a little crocked (Spellcheck?). I've also added a nail aswell (Not shown, picture comes later on)

Then repainted the base with a coat of black:

I've also added Johnson's to it to make it gloss, but it's not shown here..

And that was that! Getting real close now!

Thanks for all the kind comments!

Thats fine, no rush on the figure, and this is your dio- you call it done whenever you want!

That sign looks great btw

Huxy - OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!  Great job on that figure and the Panzer, the figure is AWESOME!  I do agree with Stern O though, though the base is nicely done, track marks are essential - other than that I can only say Well Done Sir, Well Done!!

Thanks alot Razorboy and Tigerman!

As for tanktracks, yeah..  I'll do better next time I did atleast make some kind!

Well, an update...  !!!

I used E-Z water from Woodland scenics. Actually my first succesful try with them, after I ruined another diorama many moons ago with it...

Alluminium foil and a Zippo-lighter is all I needed for this tiny amount:

And the result:

And of course one detail I forgot..  The soldiers.. weaponary?  Something so obvious..

Walther P-38 holster, 3 shades of brown. Unprimed.

And then, after a little dusting on the soldier with MIG pigments, the diorama was COMPLETE!!!!!

Great little Dio. I've never done water, I'll have to give it a go sometime.

Not to call you out (hope I won't embarrass you haha) but great job!! Nice tie for first place in the online model competion, no wonder you wanted to finish this one up quick. Now I don't know, maybe it doesn't need that second figure! What kit did you pick out?? The Panzer IV?

EDIT: Cool accent btw! haha I'm a subscriber now, I'll have to upload a few youtube WIPs

Thanks alot everyone! You're kind words really do warm my heart about my first diorama! They really help alot!

And Stern0... Yeah, E-Z water is a  pain in the *** for large areas.. The so called "Revolutionary modelers water" isn't that good...

Chris: I did not expect anyoneto find me just like that!  Good job! You should get the scouting medal!  And about a second figure, will still experiment with it.. Altough it looks good where as is And no, I did not choose the Panzer IV (Yeah, I'm surprised) as I need a little allied armour (Surprised I said that aswell) and picked the Sherman.. Or, didn't really pick anything, just sent the hoster a list of about 4-5 kits that I wanted.. He will take further contact

Glad you like my accent! Got a comment on it before as well...  Glad you subscribed!
And embarassed? Somewhat, but it's cool!

I got another diorama already planned.... Stay tuned!
