discussion New base for something , haven't decided yet!

[Guest]

Hi Alan yep that looks much better haveing the hanomag at that angle puts a little action into the base without anything else being there. nice idea on the figures disembarking adds more action and exciment if that is indeed what you are going for, but a soilders at rest would also work well here too. You could also add 2 czch hedgehogs or some barbed wire here too... hope you don't mind the suggestions.

I don't mind the sugestions at all Scott , I don't have the figures for a resting scene however I do have figures for a checkpoint , their just standing around or walking so I can do a couple talking to each other

Hears a few pics with aduptations and I've completed the figure give cover to troops ducking for cover. View attachment 68646

Late on this Alan, apologies. Looking exceptional my friend, really good. Do you have any flock grass? If so, blob some PVA inbetween the road cracks and near the edge of the step and wall, add a some grass and blow off, just a suggestion. i

Hi Alan, late on this one mate. Looks superb so far. The figure looks really good. One suggestion is to use a blob of PVA glue and some flock grass, add the glue in a few of the road cracks, also just add a bit near the edge of the step and the wall. Top build so far.

Cheers Si I don't have flock grad but I do have grass sheet and it molts so I should get the same effect , I might put put some in other areas as moss growing between the cracks in the slabs.

Thanks for the tips

No probs, also if you have any old wood lollipop sticks, break down, weather and have a couple if pieces on the ground or one across the step just inside the door. I really like this dio. Got a panzer IV set of 4 figs + barricade and jerry can set, all 1/35 scale. As I am more into sunken watery items and boats may be selling this lot...not too sure.

How much you thinking of asking for them But I would love to see what you make of them in a build

No idea, the Panzer is a Academy set as are the figures the other two sets are Tamiya. I am still making my fisherman dio's at the moment, also got a Dornier 1/72 to do as a sunken relic.

What ever you decide mate I'm happy , still I reckon you would the panzer dio justice

 

[eddiesolo]

I got the tank etc to have a go at something different, but my heart is with boaty things, so this lot has been sat in a cupboard lol. The boxes are opened but the contents are all still sealed in their plastic bags...had a look and but em away.

[eddiesolo]

Saying that, I may not have room to put a 1/35 tank dio, running out room now lol.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...not sure, I like the idea of both lol. What you could do is see if you can get a couple civilians and a German soldier to stand at Halt section, the chain-dogs can be milling about near that with the troops and the mean looking MG42 figure ready to open fire.

I've got a soldier who is looking at a little book like an identity card so I can do that if I can get a civilian.

If I do that I have the military police for that , ill do one or the other a d not combine the two
