WW1 Diorama- Title TBD

[Sweet-Chuck]

While I'm waiting for more favorable weather to continue (painting) the space shuttle orbiter build, I got a wild hair to build a diorama after seeing some Tamiya WW1 dudes a couple weeks ago. Seeing the kit, and having recently read about various Europen battles in the 15th and 16th centuries, caused a spark. I'm not entirely certain of the direction this will go, but it's beginning to take shape in my mind..

I have this same figure set. I will be watching this closely.

Getman assault troops from Meng. Very nice pieces...quite similar to the Tamiya dudes as far as clean fit and little flash.

....and 5 more soldiers from the Master Box kit. These pieces have a lot of flash and the fit is not as clean as the Tamiya and Meng. I will probably not be using the trench pieces from this kit. I am leaning towards making my own.

little flash.

When there is flash, especially on legs and arms, how do you deal with it without flattening the detail, like folds and leggings?

With photos taken in your car with some of the kits, makes me think that this will be great diorama. Enthusiasm is a great outlet for success.

Please continue.

Be well. Model on.
