This Dio started out life as part of the group build, but as I had two figures I wanted to add both. The figures are part of Dragon´s German sniper set and the window Italeri´s church window. Havent built, painted or done anything for a while, buts its good to get going again.






As usual, all comments and critic are welcome!

Simply amazing this dio.
I love the subtle use of the snow and the figures really complete the scene. Also your weathering of the church ruin is top class. You have earned a guinness

great job congrats

Looking good....judging from the two titles of your dios, I am beginning to think you are a Metallica fan.

It's too bad your not an AC/DC fan you could have a dio of a sniper shooting someone and call it thunderstruck

Or dirty deeds done dirt cheap #:-)

Excellent work on this little dio plasticbattle. The winter camo uniforms are very realistic in their weathering.

Great looking vignette pal, looks very convincing! :-)
Keep up the excellent job!
Cheers

Those guys came out GREAT. The uniforms are very nicely weathered. I used the kneeler in my Cold Stare and I think you did a great job with him.
The scene is very good, subtle, simple, very nice scene. I like the photography too.

As this looks basically done my comments are things to think about for the next go round. I would also say, if I were you I wouldn't change anything on this diorama - its good as is. The two things are- foot prints in the snow?? I struggled with testing this on Cold Stare and opted to create the scene around it. Convincing foot prints in shalow snow are not easy. Secondly, more rubble may be in order. I say may be because the scene is small and focused and the sparse rubble does not detract from the feeling I get. So this is personal preference and you did fine on this one.

Nicely done.

Have broken stained glass on the ground. Or call it BLACKOUT if you like the Scorpions.

Plastic:

This dio is well done. The pose on the standing figure is so realistic with the cautious lean to get that peak around the corner. Beautiful paint work on the weapons--the stocks look great (what color/colors did you use)?.

The building is so well painted bringing out the block seams and the stone texture. The snow looks very real with good grass placement. This is good stuff!

Thanks for the pics and opportunity to comment.

Thank you very much Guys for posting and with words of encouragement. I needed a 2 month break from modelling, so this was my first "getting back" project. Most of the work was done from the group build.
Slodder ........ there are attempts at footprints ........ in the second picture they are slightly visible (5 of them). They do actually show up better in reality. Although not perfect ..... but as you said its not an easy thing to show in light snow. Maybe in heavier snow you can have
3-D footprints, but heavy snow hides too much.
Thanks guys------- much appreciated!
