One trench at a time


Ozzy

Recommended Posts

This was my first topic on this site, I probably put it in the wrong place and didn't give that many photos of the whole build, so here you go.

My inspiration for this build was from my monthly model magazine, but not one of a German scene but a Russian knocked out tank and some dismounts, it gave me the idea for this, I had built the panzer and the gen 2 troops but didn't know how to display them, so came up with this.

The gen 2 figures are a really good build, there a little model in them selves, the detail is nice and crisp.

The things used;

Gray oasis

Tamiya textured paint, dark earth

Woodland senics snow

RBM 35b08 metal barrel

Dragons 1:35 troops; 6513,6273, 6477, 6028

Dragons panzer IV ; 6264

Verlinden barbed wire

Wood from the garden

Balsa wood for the base.

Hi there, it all looks very good, however, it may be worth checking out our products.

The reason that I say this, is because if you get one of our snow particles on the finger of a 1/35th soldier, it will look in scale.

Look at the 1/35th images of the barbed wire particulary and the others below to too see what I mean. This is not a criticism of your great work, I am just sying that we can offer something that can enhance it

because there will be an absence of granular effect.

We offer discounts to subscribers of Britmodeller.

Lovely Dio though and very atmospheric. Fantastic!

Steve.

Life is too short to get things wrong! and anyway we were showing the scale not the size of the snowflakes, though we can do that if you want here in 1/35th scale :D

The rule was simply there to show the scale. We were not measuring snow.

Fantastic Diorama, well executed and everything and we are glad you know all about our snow from other threads. :winkgrin:
