moondrome Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 It's 2021 let's start the year with a luftwaffe diorama in 1/48 scale some info about what I'm using : - a Tamiya bf 109 I actually built in 2019 ( might need some retouch) - a Tamiya luftwaffe winter crew set with kettenkraftrad I bought in 2019. (the figures are actually ICM) . the box art and the kettenkraftrad was the reason why I bought it here's my idea for layout. the figures are finished 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Nice 109 and a nice idea. I'd turn the guard shelter 90 degrees left. The guard can then see anyone approaching from either direction. Always useful. I did my share of long cold nights on guard in the mob! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Lovely. A lot better than my figure painting. The shelter looks good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondrome Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 thank you Pete but I think sometimes depends on the quality of the figures. these figures are good , so much easier to paint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondrome Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 big update! actually I'm almost ready to call it finished . i will just take some time to think if i can add some little detail. the snow turned out quite nice or at least better than I expected. It's a mix of baking soda, white glue , and white acrylic in equal parts. which i simply pressed with my finger. I then used an old brush to add some snow to the figure's boots, kettenkraftrad etc.. I'm also happy I recycled the bf 109 for this diorama. I just retouched the paint in some points. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
