Hello,

Here's another vignette from me, "Stalingrad".
Figures are Dragon, 1:35.

So, here how the story goes:









In Corel i find a wallpaper pattern, so let's put them on!















I use children powder to imitate snow







Now, the figures:









All together at the end











Well, that's it!
Only problem is the weight...

awesome, by far the coolest thing i´ve seen this month reminds me of a map in Call of Duty 2. How long did it take to complete this diorama?
cheers /Thomas

Well, i think, some three months, i'm not sure, it was last year. But i didn't do it every day..

nice work. How did you fix the baby powder in place?

With hair spray.
And stil holding...

how about the burnt parts? how did you manage that? looks very realistic

That's just awesome.

Very well done - i wouldn't know where to start

Andy

Simple, i burn them with candle. Wodden parts also.
I was thinking how to make realistic burnt parts, then my dad say: Well, burn them, so i do it.

Nicely done Goran, good structure work. The only comment is that you could have used slightly thinner floor and window frame boards. That's just my 2 cents and dosen't take away from the build.
Good "collapsed " look, like a building bombed out should look.

Thanks for the tip Goran, i´ll have to try that sometime, keep up the good work

Great viginette! Looks very realistic.

Thanks for sharing

Great scene, Your house and groundwork skills are excellent, the babypowder also makes convincing snow, i'll remember that one!
It's such an excellent house that I feel you could have got more than 4 (well painted by the way) figures in there, I doubt otherwise they'd all cluster around the same window and offer such a tempting target for Ivan!

Great work all the same,

James

Love the building, and after wrestling with Miniart stuff, it's time to just make my own.

But I have to echo the comment on the grouping, too many guys too close, move someone downstairs.
My suggestion is to move the standing mp shooter to the doorway and the peering guy to the back edge of the lower level, checking to make sure they are not being outflanked.


I like how you made a reasonable pile of debris to explain the access to the second floor as well, lots of folks forget that.
What about some chopped up clear sheeting or microscope cover glass for broken window glass and framing?

What did you use to make up the volume of the rubble pile?

But I cant tell from the contrast of the pics, but are there lots of footprints getting the figures into that position? Scuffed snow where they climbed up onto the second floor?

Very well presented scene overall.
A tweek or two away from being great.

Mike

Well, i don't know, i'm satisfied with figure placment, i see many photos with placment like this. It's war time man!
Little joke...

You ask me what did i use to make up the volume of the rubble pile?

First, i put some wodden parts on "Murexin" quick fixing cement:


Then, again quick fixing cement on top.
And yes, there is plenty footprints, but the pictures are not so good...

Fantastic job,a very realistic scenery.
Congratulations
Pedro

Excellent work! Great informational series of pics also to step the viewer through the construction. The final result is a true keeper. One to be proud of. Congrats.

Nicely done Goran! Excellent sequence of photos, like the way you did it. Great figures as well, truly awesome!

Thanks for sharing your work! Cheers!

Tim

Awesome dio!! I love the baby powder, that is something I hadn't thought about. Thanks for the tip.

Keep up the great work.

I like the uniform shading as well. Your use of an off white looks a lot better than pure white. I did a diorama that is similar to this. The only thing I was reluctant to do was add snow! I put a lot of detail in the ground work and just didn't have the heart to add snow. It was my second diorama. Not to take anything from your great work but here are a few of mine.
