Ah, the Christmas holidays.
Perfect for doing all the things around the house that need doing.
Luckily, I forgot all about those, and did more work on my diorama.. ;D
The base work is plaster of paris, with a fine sand/white glue/paint mix applied over the top,
Over that I put model railway groundcover, then painted it in a patchy, hit and miss fashion,
I cut the bases off the trees and pinned them in place with wire,
The vehicles haven't been fixed in place yet, only the soldiers.
After all the soldiers are in place, there'll be a last minute touch up..they keep bending and losing paint
The base board with the general layout of the vehicles
The cast of many, Soviet and German soldiers.
Russian defensive position-slit trenches and tank revetment
Knocked out KingTiger with infantry aboard defending
Theres more German soldiers to be added yet
More to come.
Thanks for looking.
