Looking very nice Darío.

[Dario Risso]

Thanks Tim

This is a "photoshoped sketch" of my scene:



But....I had the "great" idea of make (and place) Luftwaffe licence plates...and the soldiers belongs to the Heer (A friend gives me the Trumpeter crew for the Karl, just a day later the idea born in my head) Will see how to change the "LW" decals (they have a coat of floor polish)






What do you think about the scene?

[Dario Risso]

Definitely figure painting is not my thing They're not finished at all, yet. Anyway....the scene layout: it still needs some grass, pebbles, ammo crates and a lot of waisted 2 cm ammo:









I thing the contrast between plane shadow and the ground is too much...is not?

It's coming along nicely Dario. The plane's shadow was much easier to identify in the mock-up you did because there was more space between it and the halftrack. At first I thought it was some kind of crossroads.
Might suggest leaning the engine cover panels on something rather than just leaving them on the ground and maybe make the halftrack look a bit more cluttered with personal effects so it doesn't look so sparce.
Nice job!

Thanks Alan!

It's a nice start

[Dario Risso]

Thanks Jamie!

These are the almost-final pics, those that help me to note "things to do"



The shadow still has a gray border, no much convincing



Dusty windshield



The front wheels still lack of dust



Repainted helmet, in Luftwaffe color





Bad pic of an Adler magazine (btw it was not glued yet and fly away in my terrace ) and a helmet from Trumpeter Karl's crew; note that the helmet has the inner leather cover molded



Well, some fun with PS





Cheers
