Muchmirth Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Finally finished the second part of my large diorama Liebe Deinen Nacthsten/Love thy neighbour and now hopefully Part one will make more sense. 20 figures, tamiya m8 greyhound, m10 wolverine, willys jeep. Its scratch built building and base and its all brush painted. I used the mini art garage set and beer bottles crates, the czech hedgehog is from Tamiya and barb wire from yan models, the rest I made. The figures are tamiya, mini art with hornets heads, bravo six and royal models. I adapted the some of the figures, the jeep driver had his arm remoulded to be the machine gunner on watch outside the gasthoff, the M10 gun loader is the m8 beer loader! The m10 gunner is now the jeep mechanic. I added a walking stick and bag to the civilian. Took a year on and off for both parts to complete. All feedback welcome. I added the camo net, made from a hair net and treated moss I made the sandbags from milliput and the rickety stowage holder from styrene. The guy with dark hair and his back turned is cheating at cards, note the cards tucked under his elbow! The back: A few pics of how part one fits in with part two: These guys have started realise that their neighbours might not just be so friendly as they hear the Glen Miller being played from nextdoor. I made it so that the two parts of the broken church steeple fit together once both boards are lined up: The link to part one is below: Sorry its bit photo heavy and the quality of my pics aren't great as I really need to upgrade my camera at some stage. All the best for now, Paul Edited March 14 by Muchmirth Spelling 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanfrandragon Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 There’s so much going on there and lots of little stories, but I loved the reveal when you realise that there’s something going on round the back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Very entertaining detail! You will have a scrap box full of figures and stuff, won't you? 'Liebe Deinen Nächsten' or for those that miss a few letters on their keyboard: 'Naechsten'. Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muchmirth Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 @Keeff @Yg Models @sanfrandragon @Toryu @Model Mate and to all those who liked as well. Thank you all very much it really is appreciated. It was great to make (if a little stressful at times) I rushed to get it done in time for then Belfast show, pulling some late nights (up til 2:30am sometimes) to try get it finished in time…. Took it along whilst the paint was literally still drying haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvinneko Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Really impressive details and storytelling with those amazing figures. Lots of beer! One thing that did pop out at me was the way the vehicles didn't feel integrated into the scene in terms of impact. Like the muddy wheeled vehicle centred on a clean brick road, the jeep in the repair bay with a clean floor. Some wheel tracks, clumps, spills, etc. might be something to consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree,👍 I missed a trick their. The greyhound especially would have dragged some mud out from the road behind. Thanks for comments and for looking in.
