Alan 45 D Day dio

[Alan 45]

Really taking shape now, the angles, colours all starting to bring it to life. Even my lad says: 'He's good at it.' That's all you get from him, so it must be good for him to utter anything.Si

Cheers mate I appreciate that and tell you lad thanks

thats looking great Alan, real like the use off color and greenery you have used, , the cliff face is so well done, do like itif you are going to try and alter a little guy do you have the hard plasic ones ? if so use one off them the other are so hard to try and glue, or there is a trick i dont know with them,

Thanks Moni I'm pleased you like it , I don't have any hard plastic figures but the alterations will be missing limbs so it won't mater the one I'm thinking of using for the banglores just needs an amo box removing as he's already in the position I want that's a case of rescribing the figures leg and I'm hoping because of the size it won't be too hard to do

oh lol for , ones missing limbs any think will do, i was thinking having him pushing the banglore under the wire and need to alt him .

so will we be seeing blood ?

Just a bit after all it was a bloody battle so I figured there would be some horrible bits

Tbh I'm not really comfortable with it but it did happen so I can't really dodge it

Alan great job there. Just a reminder. Turpentine corrodes foam, so if you want to create craters, use a teeny weeny bit of it so you do not erode the whole dio. Poly glue is also great for eroding and making bunkers look weathered.

Thank you guys for the great comments

Thanks for those pics Moni and I've just realised the flaw in my dio , no craters on the beach , I've been so preoccupied with the cliff and bunker it slipped my mind oh well can't do anything about it now

[monica]

well the work you put in on the cliff and bunker has payed off there great

m you still can add them in, never to late, just make them out off tissue paper socked in 50/50 pva/water

and mold them in and use the same as the base color over them, as a crater is raised

thats if you like too

[Alan 45]

Just thought I'd give the cliff face a touch up it was too stone looking so over added light brown browns to it [ATTACH]83721.IPB[/ATTACH]
