Stalingrad Diorama WIP *UPDATE* 2/27/11

looking great...love the scratch work...keep it comming!!!!

How did you make the light bulb?

I just made it out of clear plastic and rounded the end.

Another Update:

I finally got my stair set from Dragon and quickly put it together. I cut out a hole for the on of the doors in the side of the building. I also scratch built some doors out of wood for the side of the building.

If you are a Member of the IPMS you probably got the magazine by now and my Diorama "Sewer Rats" is on the front! there will be pics on the bottom.

Here are the pics:

Gotta love that Hawaiian shirt!

Absolutely amazing staircase and great weathering on the Sdk   Great job!

Awesome work so far dude!

Its been a long time since an update, I have been distracted by many other little projects I wanted to finish (Destroyed sherman tank, German half track, T34/76, USS Arizona, 69' Camaro, B-29, P-51, ME- 262, and theres probably more I can't think of.) Anyway here is a small update:

I painted up those doors I made a while back and added some hardware. I also did a little work on some Russian figs.

some nice work here. Love that staircase and those doors look fab

Agree with Andy... the figures even look good too.  You are getting better at this for sure!

I feel bad for other junior modelers.  Some are barley able to get a kit painted and there against this.

Im starting a petition here to get this kid put up against the big boys

Hey thanks guys, it means a lot.

Smeagol the vile - I would be glad if you would start that petition! I'm sure I wouldn't win against them though. Some of the things they can do blow me away. (don't feel bad for the juniors they only have to put up with 2 more years of me!) :)

That's some fantastic work.

It;s really inspiring and impressive to see a "junior" modeler such as yourself have such a  firm grip of advanced modeling skill and finishing. You'[re off to quite a promising start! Good for you. Ir's nice to see a young kid today who does more than just mindlessly type out texts and stare mutely into a video game screen!

Gorgeous work, and I have nothing to criticize at all. A big. BIG !!!

Looking good. Keep posting updates. Thanks for sharing.
