Somewhere in Russia .... Finished
- Thread starter Gern
- Start date
Looking very nice indeed.
Done. Lots of pics although my photo skills leave a lot to be desired!
The Germans are in full retreat. Their information is that this bridge,although small and unable to carry heavy armour, may provide an escape route. The Russians know of their desperation and have prepared a reception comittee. As they do not need to cross the bridge, they have no worries about bringing up their heavy armour. Both sides are preparing for the imminent assault on the bridge:
More pics in the next and final installment ....

Nothing to criticize here Dave....It's all looking real good. I can only ask why is your German armored car SD Kfz 222 is driving away from the bridge with the turret over the rear deck??? Or is this a 'shoot and scoot' maneuver. About how big is the base in this scale???

'cos I'm an eejit Allen:rolling:! I didn't think to check the armoured car - still, like Ron, I got an answer. It's just made a dash across the open road from the lane opposite. The turret is facing back as it was turning to cover the bridge as it crossed the road!
The base is about 24"x24" (600mmx600mm in new money).
I'll buy that Dave, great answer!!!!.....Thanks for the dimensions too. Looks like it doesn't take up too much space…...
Very nice, Dave.
Criticize? That's not my bag.....It's your build anyway, and me thinks you enjoyed it every step of the way.
One epic project with lots to see.
You have covered a load of disciplines with this build and they all look good.
Well done that lad... :thumb2:

Outstanding work. Very well done indeed. Out of interest what did you use for the water effect?

I meant to tell folks when I posted the final pics but forgot!
I used a product called ClearFix made by Everbuild. It comes in a standard mastic tube, but I diluted it with about 40% IPA (has to be 99.9% or the water in the IPA will make it go cloudy - found this from here:

Great work Dave, full of interest and a great tip on the water :thumb2:thank you for sharing .
Thanks everyone for your nice comments, they're much appreciated.
Lots of things I did/didn't do during the build - sort of the diorama equivalent of missing mould lines and not sorting seams on an aircraft kit. Most you can only see from fairly close, but next time, I'll definitely have to create some sort of decent edge or frame. Might be a while though - I gotta pick a subject. I have started another build (not a dio) which will need some scratchery so I'll be putting some pics up later today.

The fast flowing effect was really nothing deliberate John. A lucky accident caused by some fairly violent shakes in my hands.
Gerndave... Hmm, Davegern...Daveorgern - needs work

Thought I'd come take a look over from my thread and take a look.I do like the little details that reward careful viewing - that PzII is in for a world of hurt when the KV 1 makes it's presence known
For about 3 seconds...
I particuulary like the riverwork and the rocks.
Think you're right though about the bridge framework being maybe a bit out of scale
Nice tho'

I seem to have missed all this one Dave :smiling4:
Liking the river and rocks
These little kits are quite good considering the size
Only done one myself so far, the Zvezda Shilka, but I do have a few others in the stash
You asked for feedback - I think the vehicles would benefit from a light dry brushing to bring out the details and they look a bit shiny so maybe a spray over with matt varnish?
