Morane diorama in progress

[Milorg]

Hello

A small update, mainly on the boy figure, this was probably the part involving most work so no the rest is "a walk in the park"

Hello Milorg,it nice to se some further construction in your diorama,can you explain how the large dead tree in the middle of the diorama is made of.

[Milorg]

Hello Nansen

How the tree was made; a plastic tube was heated to get the crocked look. I drilled holes to the branches who was made of styrene rods, at the end of the styrene I glued a real wood piece to simulate the broken branch. Then the trunk was covered with putty(do this in several sessions)), I guess most brands are usable, I found a cheap brand, soft and easy to work with and dries fast. The structure was made with an x-acto knife, cutting in a criss cross pattern.
Good luck

THIS ! THIS ! Gentlemen IS a SCRATCH ARTIST In Motion. I took one look at that log and thought to myself "Ah, a new VERLINDEN battlefield resin accesory" note to self : "so thats how you can use them in a diaraoma" ?

I said to myslef : Self; "My My how life like they make these accessories"

I wouldn't have imagined it was scratched. Really Milorg. I've siad it before and I will say it again. Your Sculpting Talents are extra ordinary in SCALE !
Youare truly doing yourself a dis-service by not casting RTV MOLDS of your figures and trees, etc once you are done with them before painting them, FOR Prostarity if nothing else. You have a ready made and underserved market in 1/32 WWI Figures, especially Aircrew and Pilots in cockpits !!!!

If I may speak for all of us here: We would love to be able to see and be able to get copies of your figures and diaraoma accessories.

Yours Truly Mike

Steady on old chap, it's only a model tree.

When that pilot wakes up I bet he will have a heck of a polyresin headache! Hey Ginger...did you give him the details of your roll in the rusty barbed wire? Or you and Missy punting on Zillebeker Zee? That would make a great diorama. Nuthin but luv 4 U! Red Leader One

That information is still classified under Her Maj's 'undred year rule and may, in the end, turn out to be nowt but vile enemy propaganda of the lowest order.

[Milorg]

Thanks guys

Mike, as always I apreciate your feedback, like I told you during my Roland project, it would be intereting one day to try to sculp something for comercial use. The main problem is like always "so many ideas, so little time"
For the future I will still keep an open mind on the matter

Stephen, yes, guess the headache will be the worst ever

Hello

The unconcious pilot and the rest of the figures are done, only some minor details left.
The groundwork is next, but first off to three weeks holiday in the sun
