Hello everyone, my first post on armorama and on the interenet. First time i show my work to people other than my friends. I would like to get some feedback and ideas, meet new people and show of my work.
all work here is in 1/35

I think they are really nice work,,the figures look good,lots of details like glasses and the gauze.If I can say anything the vehicles like the T-34 and the Mk IV look a little too clean,I think they probably need more weathering,Overall i congratulate you it is a lot more then I ever have attempted.

It would appear you have a good grounding in the basics of diorama construction and are well on your way to becoming a very good builder of dioramas. Something that may help as regards your sandbags as they are in need of some help because they are floating, all uniform, and one colour, if you get a chance as I am not sure what is around you take some pictures of the world around you, sandbags is just one example if you see some take a photo, if you go into a wood take some photos, and so on. This will help you bring your dioramas to life as you build them. That said it’s a great start.

Thats a lot of modelling you have accomplished! Bravo! Wish I could turn them out like that. Overall your work is very good. Lots and lots of little details in your dioramas. In the future I would suggest trying to shade your figures more to give them more depth and life. They are a little monotone. Histrcus Forma Has tons of info on how to do this. The same goes for your buildings and vehicles. They will look alot better with more weathering. The Russian hut with the thatch roof turned out really good. How old are these dio's? which one is the most recent?

hi

nice work! you certainly arent afraid of doing BIG dioramas !!

the only thing I would recommend you look into is your figure placements - the guys in the scene with the t-34 are a little mismatched. some look calm, and peaceful, others are panicking. The russians are assaulting them, they would be scared - either into running, or pleading with them for their lives.

The only thing that can help you with this is plenty of reading, to get an idea of their feelings. I recommend books such as "The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer if you're into the Eastern Front, or "Visions From a Foxhole" by William Foley if you're into the western front. After reading these books, I will always remember some of the things in them, especially about the war between the Germans and the Russians and how neither side were particularly nice to prisoners.

you have certainly got a hell of a collection!!! I like the sherman on the LCT the most but i'm mad about shermans

Welcome to the big A. Nice dioramas. I particularly like the German guy standing outside the doorway with his hands in his pockets in picture #3. He looks like he just smoked that "special" cigarette and now hes thinking "Wow, a T34. Pretty cool man!" LMAO

nice work i like it all do u belong to a model club

Thank you all for ur recomendations, i will look into them. The newest work is the Stalingrad, and the first that i made was the russian village. Right now im working on the battle of Kursk. Im thinking of having around 6 tank moddles on the diorama. No, im not in a club right now but am looking forward to join one.

Can anyone help me? i need to know how the IT-28 cable system works for the bridge.
Thank you all again and i'll keep updating my work as it comes.

welcome to the site Garnik. You are off to a good runing start. We all start somewhere and yours are better than my first atempts. Good composition and ideas. Only thing I will point out is your sand bags. Should be off set like brick work. As the other fellow suggested, camera where ever you go. Pics tacked up as you build keep you in focus of certain things, and read, read read. It will always put you in the story and the feelings of what you are trying to portray. Keep on building. Hope to see more down the road. And have fun with it.

I really admire your courage and vision with these ambitious dioramas - obviously not a man to do things by halves.

On the whole, very good composition indeed. Some of the elements you've attempted have turned out fantastic (like the well and the Russian cottage).

As others have pointed out, you probably need to work in order to bring some added depth and life to your tanks and figures. But all in all, the fundamentals are all there.

If you were to ask me to pick a favourite out of this selection, I'd have to go for the Stalingrad dio.
