A project that took a little longer than expected, mainly due to a warm summer in the UK and model making in the loft.

 

here’s my build of the old but nicely detailed Tamiya Goulash cannon with horses, I used the Dragon pontoon bridge with an enhancement from Costa Coffee with figures from Dragon and Miniart. I used woodland scenics realistic water for the water.
 

IPMS Salisbury had an A4 diorama group build, I decided to do an early war diorama with the cooks bring up the rear.

Superb. 👏 A very realistic little scene with the horses and infantry plodding along - far more representative of 'Blitzkrieg' than a panzer! 


thanks Ian,

 

very much a slow Blitzkrieg. First time doing horses the brown one is with oils and the grey with acrylics. Not much difference in finish.

Nice one Oz, great Feldkuche. That invokes too many memories of Range Stew in hay boxes or Norgie containers...

Cheers Dave,

 

I was thinking the same while painting those bits, along with the regulation 2 slices of bread.

That's a lovely job that you'v done there Ozzy. I especially like the nonchalant fisherman. Nice one.

 

John.

Cheers John,

 

the fisherman was added at the 11th hour as I have some resin 1/35 fish in the river.

I love that Diorama.

People always think about Stukas and Panzers when they think about the Wehrmacht early in the War! In reality like 80% of the German Army was on foot and relied on Horses.

 

superb Dio 👌

 

cheers

excellent diorama - coffee stirrers are an essential material in my book!

Hi Ozzy,

Enchanting diorama, which tells its little story, what I like the most are the inflatable boats and the water.

A good job.

Cheers and TC

Francis.👍

That's a tremendous diorama which is wonderfully creative and full of storytelling.

Water effects are spot on 👏
