WW2 German diorama -Military .

[rob1957]

Hello Everyone . Here is a diorama I brought out of the display case and added a couple upgrades .

Figures are by Dragon , 1/35 scale . Rock in diorama is actual broken up stone .

Barb Wire is Mini-Art product . Stakes are real twigs .

Soldier with green uniform was supposed hold folded tripod legs from MG 34 which was being fired over his right shoulder .

 I couldn't get this to look correct so with a little work I repositioned his arms and gave him a rifle . Had to cut one arm in half and fill in with Vallejo Putty .

He dropped something on the ground it seems .

The unmanned MG-42 and the ammo belt are Mini-Art .

 I heated the ammo belt with hair dryer and drooped it over the box . First attempt at heating with a lighter melted the entire belt .

Soldiers are my hand painting .

 Fun little diorama to build .

 Enjoy .

 Thank You.

Very nice. I was never too good at doing figures.

Hi Ray . One of the most difficult areas of figures , besides painting eyes on the face , is proper positioning of arms so  the soldier can hang onto a rifle

and have it appear realistic .
