Mike Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Lovely diorama, but I’ve merged the two threads down because we don’t permit duplicate threads on the forum if you’d prefer it in the dio RFI drop me a PM and I’ll move it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 That tank took a lot of killing! That's a really good diorama. I like the building and the way it adds the necessary vertical element. The hanging telegraph pole, which is making me very nervous, is a nice touch. Good ground, good tank, good figures. The painting of the various elements is consistent. This one really is good to the last bite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchmirth Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Fantastic as always…. Feel a bit of mr uncle night shift influence possibly with the decorative brick? All of it looks just amazing. Especially like the slogan banner above the doorway, looks like it was once a ‘party’ owned building. Their a group build proposal for next year called ‘entrophy’ it’s concerned with all things rusted, wrecked and abandoned by the looks of your kv and the charring to the bricks etc something like this would be a really good entry. Anyways if your interested the thread (which is entertaining in itself) is here below: Personally I’d really like to see what you’d do if you did enter. (sarge Bertie in comment above me is running the show) Luck with the covid recovery. Edited May 15, 2022 by Muchmirth Spelling 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Hi Red Five, An impressive vignette, not overly large but very effective, excellent work as always, a pleasure to watch. By the way, what paint do you use for the Soviet vehicles of that period (brand and reference)? Right now I have published a KV-85 from the same conflict, and I can't find the tone that best suits... Cheers and TC Francis.👍 Edited May 15, 2022 by FrancisGL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers and TC Francis.👍 I used mig ammo protective green and 4BO and made a custom mix and lightened it with cockpit green and a little bit of yellow. Then used mig shaders to get darker tones. It was a tough one as i didnt want the dark green of a later T34 i wanted that light minty green 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartH Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Absolutely stunning piece of work.....composition, execution, build and finish. For what is quite a small scene it is packed with detail and visual interest yet not overloaded. I think the 3 figures looks just right! Superb 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcoat2966 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Cracking piece of modelling that. 10 out of 10. Nice layout and positioning of the figures. All looks very natural, great job...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRK Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Great job, so much to look at in this compact scene. The lettering on the tank also looks really nice (I'm assuming you've painted this on by hand!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
