Hi all, I have been making a diorama using the Tamiya Churchill Crocodile, some master box figures and a scratch built bunker that is in and around Normandy where a bunker is being assaulted by a crocodile and troops. I have been trying to find information on what colours bunkers were painted if indeed they were painted at all? Are they simply unfinished concrete or painted using a tri-tonal colour scheme, German yellow, green, red brown? I can find very little info one way of the other. Almost all the photos are either modern day, with no surviving paint or black and white grainy nightmares that don’t actually show much, I have found a couple of photos from Denmark of German bunkers that have been refurbished painted using the tri-tonal scheme but this is the only example. Some much needed advice and info will be gratefully received 🤓 -
Folks Calling this done, this is my representation of a bunker on the beaches of Iturup Island in the Sakhalin Chain. The diorama is based on this image https://www.warhistoryonline.com/world-war-ii/amazing-pictures-of-abandoned-soviet-tanks-left-behind-on-shikotan-island.html?chrome=1 How It Was Done :- The build was a 1/72 T-54 tank turret from a trumpeter kit and used tile grout to rough up the surface then used Vallejos rust set to paint it, The bunker was foam board built then plastic rod was used to create the rebar showing the conrete was tile grout with deck tan mixed and and then removed from the rebar, with thinned rust paint and an overall grey wash to bring out the detail in the concrete. The base is a Asda 10x8 inch photoframe , I used tile grout for the base with a fine sand flock, I mixed some sand flock with both vallejo matt black and separately deck tan for the land areas. and /epoxy resin with a couple of dots of tamiya clear blue for the water effect, with AKs water effects gel , white foam and Atlantic blue gel sparingly. The washed up wood is just natural twigs mashed to destruction and the rusty wire pickets were plastic rod and fuse wire. I enjoyed the challenge of this and as always walked away with at least one lesson learned lol Cheers Mark
