"Horror"...The supply wagon...

[Pikeman]

This deserves a thread of it's own, probably one of the most detailed, and thoroughly thought
out elements of the dio....(thinking as I go )


Still vary raw and conceptual at the moment, couldn't resist giving a quick look-see to the folks.


Not going to use the figures from kit as they look like they are about 3 to 5 scales larger than the others in project, but I'll grub up a few others from the scrap stash and see what I can do with


themops: Very difficult to imitate splintered wood in plastic and I'm not entirely satisfied thus


far, I'll keep tweaking away a bit more.....Sorry..... but 20mm AP rounds and missile splinters vs


horse flesh is not a very pretty sight......but War is Hell! .....Cheers!....Jim

What an achievement Jim it looks great.


This is going to be great when it's on the base.


You have really done your homework on this dio

[monica]

total agree Jim,it was such a sad affair as well,


and there was another shot of a old lady ,getting the meat of the rump of a dead horse as well,which ,I have not seen in


a movie before,and as you said the lad would of found it easier to kill someone,than to be killing critters,and the same


was with the light horseman in the 1st ww,where they shot there horse ,than leaving them to the egyption,and I under stand


why they would do such a thing,a very sad affair,but it did happen,and I,m glad that you do have the xxxx to show it,


great job so far,

Final paint on Panzer,ops: bit better light, horses seem done I guess and wagons coming along....Gotta get some HO scale veggie stuff and would still like to add more figures.

The more I look at this the more I think about what an excellent modeller you are.


The work you are putting into this is amazing.

Wow. The detail is awesome Jim

[Guest]

Really good detail, and a convincing overall look. My only suggestion for the Panzer would be to have a little more variation in colours or lightness of the items attached, such as the canvas bags, rolls and netting. But a good model.

[monica]

great detail with this ,real like the mangled mess your mad,


and the darkness ,but still showing the horror,o the horror,

Thank you Monica, had a terrible dream last night involving a car crash (someone else not known to me) and witnessing the resultant carnage and woke up abruptly and upset


The missus says I've been dwelling in the macabre for far too long researching and working on dio She may be rightops: Think I'll take a nice walk in the woods today and listen to the birds

[Guest]

The horses and wagon are coming along nicely. Your really amping up the gore with this one. I gotta walk over and check it out in person.

This is amazing Jim.


The quality in the detail is just stunning.

Thanks Stuart, taking my time, I only just did some layout work and realized I probably don't need any more figures really.


Base seemed to fill up rather nicely when placing semi completed elements to it, except for the odd additional casualty or American, I'm pretty much done with them.


I don't want to crowd it up too badly, I will now concentrate on the base itself................Jim

I do agree that to much could spoil a scene by making it to busy ,less is more so they say.


Whatever you decide I am sure it will be great.


Really can't wait to see this come together on the base Jim.
