Robin2475 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hello everybody! i am back again with a 100% completed StugIV. i just finished painting it a few days ago, and finished my very first Diorama a couple minutes ago. I'm quite happy with it myself, and hope you will be too! enjoy! Here it is! Again, sorry for the bad quality of the pictures but you can see it atleast. You can also see my homemade woodstack i made cutting up a couple of sticks from a bush outside, and then gluing them together. it looks nice. Please share your opinions!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin2475 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well that looks really good Robin. How did you do the base. looks like you have dug a hole in the back garden and laid it on your kitchen table.It looks that good. well done. The base is a piece of styrofoam, actually. i laid a few coats of Humbrols Dark Brown Acrylic spray, and it melted the styrofoam a little and made it look very realistic. thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 That does look very scenic, nice natural setting. It's too bad for the photos, I don't think they do justice to your handy work. regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depressed lemur Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Fantastic work on that kit and diorama. It took me about 10 years before I tried my first diorama (and it was that poor I never did a second). Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see the next one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yup - jolly good, and I suspect that only the quality of the photos let it down Phone camera? I like the layout of the base and would be interested in seeing some brighter pics in daylight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Thank you very much No problem mate. I build wingy things myself, and started as a kid. Now in my mid forties and enjoying my newly rekindled love of modelling. I build models with my kids now, and really enjoy it, although my kids don't yet have your skills. Cheers, Tom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
