[Dario Risso]

Thanks, Dan!

Well, I'm tired of scrachtbuilding, so...I started to add some "living things" to this scene

Scene original idea

The yellowed figures are Tristar PzGren. Vol.1; the Pz Komm. is from Dragon and the dog from Tamiya















Atila, with just 3 coats of base color and a little of dark grey







Antother truppen, with base color on the face; this will go in splinter cammo. Can somebody tellme wich is the right name for that cammo scheme? Sumpftarnmuster? Or Splitertanrmuster?

Well, more updates:

Both infantry "smokies" guys:





Balast, using cat litter



A try with flower sponge for the railway platform...I don't like...



....so, I made a mold with plasticard....



....and cast a new one with dentist plaster



I carved the floor with a pencil point



Driver and kommandant (WIP). I see the chosen commander has Waffen-SS uniform...so, I change it for this one of a Tamiya box:







And I don't like the driver face, so I take a Hornet head and prepare it for surgery





The railways platform, painted:





The new driver shouting...who knows what to the truppen



All is in progress, so, comments and ideas are wellcomed

Dario- while you won't get all the replies or attention that you may get at other web sites- it's always nice to see you stuff posted here- thanks!

[Markus Lack]

I fully agree with James!
Very nice Dario!

[Dario Risso]

Thanks guys!

I want to add a water crane to the scene
There is various pics of those devices in the Web; something like this:



So, I take my used ballpen collection...



...and I start to take measures, cut, make corrections, and file, and glue...etc I used an old Pz III gun for the water pipe lever



The water crane painted and weathered. I add some bicarbonate to simulate frost on the ground; I still need to wipe the excess and see how it looks









Comments are wellcomed

Cheers

Very nice job Dario!

Thanks for sharing!

[Dario Risso]

Thanks Allan
Finally I decide to paint in the winter scheme, so, after a pair of coat of dark yellow, a pair of old black balcan crosses and 2 coats of Blem acrilic floor polish, I applied VO5 laquer spray and Tamiya Flat White.

Perhaps I apply too little floor polish, because it was no easy to remove the white paint. I used come laundry soap and a mixture of water-alcohol to remove it in some parts
The paint job must ble continued with some sponge and brush chipping/mapping job

Well, this is ALMOST finished. I need a new comandant, with more apropiate winter uniform.
