M46 Korea Diorama


Recommended Posts

Finished this diorama today that I've been working on for about 4 months. It's in honor of my wife's grandfather, who was a communications officer with the 6th Tank Battalion in Korea. Takom kit, Tamiya figures and Jeep. Stowage is from Value Gear resin. Vehicles painted with Mission Models acrylics and oils for weathering. Figures painted with Model Color using wet palette. This is my first large AFV diorama so I welcome comments and criticisms. Thank you for looking!

Damn, that's good mud!

Thanks! I ran out of the ready made stuff and created my own out of heavy gloss gel medium, pigment powder, some railroad ballast, and some static grass.

Koreia War is a subject little remembered by modelers.

 

Your diorama was great. I also enjoyed seeing the M46 Patton from the 6th Tank Battalion, 24th Infantry Div. This painting is difficult to do.

 

The atmosphere of the dio is perfect, it makes you feel like you are in the middle of Korean winter.

 

Cheers,

Fábio.
