The Great Escape Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 It’s a big diorama so I apologise for the many photos. It’s 1/16 scale. Thanks for looking. 38 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Yes indeed, that's really cool. Great figure painting and the weathering on the tank together with the excellent groundwork make it all feel very bleak. Well done. 10/10! Looking at this diorama, I wonder whether you might be interested in our recent GB proposal? Your weathering skills would be just the thing.

Bobby No Mac Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Inspiring stuff. I love the frosted effect on the ground, vegetation and wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 It looks really great, but it's impossible to watch for a long time - it gets too cold! Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod484 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Great! What are the dimensions of the base? Must be huge. What were the challenges beyond this at 1/16 scale for tank and figures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were the challenges beyond this at 1/16 scale for tank and figures? The base is around 65cmx35cm so it takes up a whole unit’s space to itself. I prefer 1/16 scale as I find it easier to add details and bring to life. I also enjoy scratch building accessories. The only drawback I see is the room to display finished pieces and a challenge would be the limited availability of more unusual subjects in this scale. In 1/35 scale, you buy a kit and then there’s a plethora of figures and accessories to add to it. You’re spoilt for choice when you look into resin figures. In 1/16, I do it the other way around - I’ll find some figures that I like first and then try to find (or have 3D printed) an appropriate vehicle.

ErikT Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Simply gorgeous. Even the snow looks great, and that's coming from a guy who finally said goodbye to the snow a couple weeks ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
