Leighbo, the dio is coming along swimmingly. Seriously, I can't wait to
see the finishing stages. Too many dios lay along a single plane view, yours has
great vertical interest. I want to look in each doorway and window to see
what's going on. Keep up the GREAT WORK.

Thanks for all the great comments guys, really appreciated.
It doen't look like much progress this week but these fine details take a long time to get right!
I have been trying to get some of the building details done, I've made an oil drum into an abandoned fire pit and also added some wooden barrels and some various items to make it look interesting. The barrels were painted with acrylics and then covered in brown oil paint which was wiped off immediately which fills in the grain details really effectively.
I want the top of the building on the left to look like some one has used it for a picnic area and so the fire barrel and other items including some bottles have been placed there.
I cut some clear plastic card for the remains of the window panes and then to make them look weathered I airbrushed them with matt varnish with the slightest touch of grey added. I will add some green mossy slime to them later on.
The fan on the wall was created from a spare 1/24 wheel turned the wrong way with a rim from another for the exterior section.
The ground floor loading bay has had the barrels and a spare trolley added.
Thanks again for the comments and see you next time

Thanks for the comments guys
I'm really enjoying putting this one together and I might bite the bullet and enter this in a local show (my first time!)
Also Chris I've just ordered the AK slimy light green so there will be plenty of this going onto the building, thanks for the tip!

Hi Guys
I've achieved quite a lot this week. I wanted to get the building completed, so I started with the kids that are going to be stood inside it. They were painted with acrylics and then the flesh was done with oils.
I weathered the front of the building, I wanted a very unused, overgrown look so plenty of moss and foliage. For moss I use railway scale grass flock which scales well and then some aftermarket ivy and plants. I also finalised the debris on the roof part and fixed in the children. I am waiting for some AK slimy green to turn up and then will detail further with this.
Finally I managed to get on with the Land Wasser Schlepper paint.
I mixed a light blue for the interior floor and a tan colour for the walls.
They look bright at this stage but next I used oils to define the detail and dull it down and give it a weathered look. I also painted in the details of the seats and the dash and have shown it with my sleeping drunk figure, who needs a lick of oils to finish his face and hands.
Once this was all dried I masked up the interior ready for doing the exterior airbrushing. Handily this kit comes complete with window mask stickers which made the job easier.
I toyed with various camo styles that the vehicle has been depicted with but decided that as there is so much going on anyway that a faded german grey would be better.
The exterior was airbrushed with vallejo colours, black grey as a preshade and german grey as the main colour. I was trying to get a faded look and light grey was mixed in to the german grey at different stages to get the paint gradually lighter and to highlight various areas.
The next stage was to do some chipping with light grey and brown acrylics and then I thinned some black oil paint and used this to highlight the edges of the hatches, windows, panel gaps etc... Once this has dried I will do some more oil weathering and rusting.
One last thing I wanted was an army record player to be on the LWS so I took a Tamiya hand grenade case, scratched off all the external ribbing and then scratch built the record player interior with parts from the scrap box.
As always, thanks for looking

WOW! Leighbo, you are a machine. The dio looks great.
I especially like the street urchins looking out the window....nice expressions
on their faces. The building also looks fabulous. I like the vine you added.
The schlepper is almost done, huh. I like the intoxicated driver lulled over at the wheel.
Keep up the good work.
