THANKS TO PHOTOBUCKET, I AM HAVING TO REPLACE ALL OF THE PHOTOS IN THIS WIP. IT MAY BE THAT I CANNOT REPLACE THEM ALL, IN WHICH CASE I WILL HAVE TO EDIT THE ACCOMPANYING TEXTS. I EXPECT I WILL HAVE TO REMOVE SOME SECTIONS OF TEXT COMPLETELY IN ORDER TO KEEP EVERYTHING FLOWING. PLEASE BE PATIENT WHILE I EDIT THIS WIP. THANKS, BADDER I am currently in the process of making a Mark II Universal Carrier (Forced Reconnaissance) Tamiya, 1/35th and as I am coming towards the end (vehicle wise - but not the figures) I am now considering the scenario for the diorama. I like the fact that these numerous workhorses were small, light, fast and manoeuvrable, so I want to depict this in the diorama. I have therefore decided to show the carrier charging across rough terrain, through bushes, splashing through puddles, ploughing through mud and possibly going airborne! With this in mind, I cannot fully finish the painting of the carrier just yet. I have muddied it up to the minimum level of dirtiness required, but I will add wet muddiness once the scenario is fully visualised. Please be aware that the diorama will take me a while to make as I will be trying out various methods of making splashes, muddy water, bow waves and general wettery before I actually start on the groundwork. I will also be having my first ever go at modelling grassy banks/fields using my bodged-up STATIC GRASS APPLICATOR. There are videos online showing how to make this particular one, based on an 'Electronic Bug Zapper'. I have trialled it but it wasn't working brilliantly... saying that I have now received tips from BM members and expect it to work better in future. P.s I have received several shocks and believe me they were 5 times greater than those given by normal electric cattle fences. They HURT, jolting my entire body! Poor flies, is all I can say. That's it for now. I will return to working on the carrier. I expect to commence work on the diorama by next weekend. Thanks for looking, Badder.
