"A Cold Day In Hell" *Complete*pg6

Tom, OH YES..very nice snow..I have'nt even looked into buying any...unfamilar with any of it...I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find...here is a few pics of how mine turned out once I dumped the other 28 scale inches off...wish I had taken pictures of that, it was worth a good laugh this was a test run...more will go on top of germans and their equipment. Thanks for sharing that fantastic Dio!

i wouldv'e liked to have seen the other 28 inches for a laugh too but whatever. what ya got looks good. i think the idea is to have the germans frozen correct? are ya gonna make some miniature icecycles hanging from the trees or anything? i think the baking soda worked great...i might put more on (sorry dude) to give that holy &^$%^& its cold and snowing everywhere feel! that or the ice...but...i know how it is when u have an idea and everyone wants to add their two cents in then things change then gets confusing... (no offense to anyone). but i think it looks great and i cant wait to see it finished!!

    SternO how's this for a ref pic

 Also check your PMs

Nice firt dusting, lol 28 scale inches huh? Would'a been fun to see lol

I also like the idea of giving the Germans and their eqipment a light dusting, as if they froze before the latest snow fall, good sense of the time they've been there, adds a lot more to the dio

Looking good Steve! By the way, check your messages! LOL!

Gee, I always thought he was permanently glued to his seat at the Staples Center (home arena for the Lakers)!

Thanks Chris, Huxy! Been very busy lately....sorry if I have been slow to respond.

The Snow was a riot Psst....wish I wasn't so shocked....I woud have gotten pics...Might do it again just for kicks Hope to have some new WIPs soon.

Hey fellas,

 I did find some info on the german ammo cans(Thanks Smitty!) and it does not seem that the tops come off...I did find out where they were hinged though!

Hey fellas,

Got a little done on the MG pos. Been very busy lately and have not done much. Still a little to do, next update may be completed. Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks CJ, sorry it took so long to get pics up...Glad you noticed that dam lid!!!  A thorn in my side!

wow... thats looking unbelievable, hey if all your updates are this good, I'm not one to complain if they don't happen at super speeds lol by all means take your time

The only thing I noticed, and I had been looking at the pictures a few times over, so not a big deal, is that some left over glue on the tree near those ammo belts? Or a "wet" spot? If you didn't want it there, I guess you'd have to paint over all that natural wood? So I'd suggest adding the powdered snow over top, also on the ammo, again- would work to make it look like they were there a while.

Looks really real though- again, awesome update Stern0!!!

Chris, Thanks for the Positive comments! I wish I had something to do with the speed...I only have two gears...one is stop. The left over glue was my bad judgement, I used zap insted of white glue and is got away from me...it will all get a final light dusting of "snow", so it will cover it I hope....and it will ,as you said, give a time frame of how long ago the Germans expired. Thanks again for checking it out!

Hi Stern0

Excellent work, with great dynamics and detail!

The pictures need a little bit of tweaking with the white balancing, though!

I hope you dont mind, but I took the liberty to modify one,

just to illustrate the differences.

After some white balancing and saturation corrections:

Keep up with the excellent work!
