Hunter Rose Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Whilst Im working on a new Ma.k dio, just thought I'd share another Ma.k build with you guys. This was my first Ma.k Project and the first time I tried snow and ice effects in a diorama and was very pleased with the results. I wanted to give a sense of a lone trooper out in a frozen waste that gets a shock when he comes across a patrolling krote and falls back in surprise. This was about a year ago that I did this and I still haven't got around to putting some proper edges on it so before anyone mentions that I know! I included an outdoor natural light photo at the end as I think it gives a better impression of how the snow looks.

Mitch K Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Superb piece of work - the snow especially. The tracks and the way the figure/walker are set in is excellent, and incredibly realistic. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Love it. I noticed the ice too. Makes me shiver! I too have Ma.k kits I hesitate to build. So I turned to scratch building. Falke, Airfix 1/32nd Jag/Aston & a cheap 1/48th P 38 lightning. Hours of fun. The original used a 1/24th car & a 1/32nd P 38. Bit pricey now that big Lightning. For a hovertank I used an old computer mouse. Have a look in this RFI section. Got any more like that one, Andy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jockster Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I wasn't sure to begin with whether it was part of a post apocalyptic diorama or not. Great work, nice frost effects. I like your work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
