Small Kubelwagen scene
Posted by Bronto on Sunday, March 22, 2015 5:23 PM

 Here is Tamiya's 1/35 Kubelwagen.  The figure is put together from spare parts, the geese are from Tamiya's farm animal set (with one being converted).  This scene is a result of a challenge from a client of mine to put a goose in a diorama for him.

That's a really nice little scene there. The modelling is first rate but I love the composition and the whole idea of the scene. My other half just walked past and she really likes it as well.

Bronto, That is really nice. A compelling narrative taking place in a small space, clearly focused on the moment. Congratulations. My only question is, how does one convert a goose? :-)

Thank you all for the comments.   The goose was converted by cutting off the original neck, then moving the legs backward under the body.  I new neck / head was then scatchbuilt.   The food in the Kubelwagen came from an OOP Custom Dioramics set.

Freakin' fantastic!! I love everything about this piece. You've got all of the exact elements just right IMHO. It's like a scene from an unmade movie. I love it!  :)
