Hi, here is my last completed build. Originally I wanted to rebuild the small vignette below: which fell from its shelf. Being unable to found the windscreen on the floor, I decided to buy another kit on Ebay and to simply do a bit of repair on the vignette. However after finding this picture on the web I had to do better. Below are some pictures on the finished diorama: To keep the display size small, I decided to reduce the depth of the bunker by blanking of the back with balsa sheet painted black. The old Ohka kit was cut off at the nose and inserted inside the bunker. The base was done with insulation foam board, as the bunker structure. Everything was covered with a mix of brown acrylic paint, fine sand, earth and tile grout. The planking is done with coffee stirrers. The vegetation is done with a mix of hemp fibers, commercial fibers, and various plants that I find during our hiking with my wife, like small moss etc. They are kept in glycerin for a few days, then dried and glued to the base with PVA glue, then painted with an airbrush. The pine trees were done with a wood dowel covered with sawdust, then painted with oil paints. The branches are done with asparagus leaves, bought in a florist shop. I hope you will like it, have a nice weekend, Christian.
