Taking a smoke break - 1917

[cduckworth]

Here's a small 1/35 diorama I started a few months ago; the resin 25cm schwere Minenwerfer is from Vargas Scale Models and comes with shells, wicker shell casting, tools and wheels.  It was painted with MM German brown as the base and brush painted with various Vallejo colors.  Outlining done with a Micron pen.  The two guys enjoying a smoke break are resin figures from Model Cellar.  The logs are also castings from Vargas.  The bottom layers of sand bags are made from clay the air drys over night and the top layer are resin bags from Value Line.  Figures, logs and sand bags painted with AK and Vallejo acrylics.  The dried leaves around the corners are just that - dried leaves from the backyard in a coffee grinder and used the small bits around the floor and dugout area.  Hope you enjoy...

I like the unusual camo scheme

That’s very good, nice & simple but with lots of details.

I like that, it really tells a story.

Nice work with the detritus.  Excellent modelling and a good story too.

Smoking was still healthy those times.

 

Very nice work!
