Lost in time...

Posted by djmodels1999 on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 3:53 PM

Here's an early attempt at dioramas and AFVs after years and years of modeling aircraft... This one dates back to 1994. It's Fujimi's 1/76 Chi-Ha medium tank...

Kenneth, they looked slightly better in '94..! The dust in there is incredible!

Looks great, Domi. Nice detail, especially for brailscale - 4!!

The rust and rusting out looks VERY convincing!

The weathering is indeed OK. The dust is...well understandable. LOL.

Cool li'l dio, Domi! That Chi-Ha is in much better shape than the ones I saw in Saipan!
Great work.
One question: what are the little white flakes around and on the turret and on the antenna supposed to be? Looks cool, but I just don't know what it is!

yes, you got it right..! Of course, my bird is a bit big I think, but I could not sculpt one any smaller...

Wow, I didn't even notice the bird!
I thought the birds would sit around the antenna and do their "business."
Again, brilliant touch!

Another cool one Domi! The bird and the "evidence" is a great touch too! I don't think he's too out of scale as some of those get pretty big.

Killer, I didn't notice the ka ka on the arial... Great touch.... The dust is inevitable unless its been under glass for 10 years.
I am in the process of trying to scrounge up a display case. My finnished kits are lounging in trashbags to keep the dust off until I get a case.

Again... great job!
