good luck for the continuation...

I didn't know they used the LWS in Africa...
congratulations

Hi Dimitris
Looks awesome! I'm having the same kit on my workbench, and I too wants to place it in North Africa. BUT! from what I've read, The LWS' used in North Africa weren't "yellow" but light grey! And that the number on the side of the hull was painted on by the brittish, after capturing the vehicle. Do you have any information on this? Or am I misinformed in this matter?

Jacob

Very nice work indeed thanks for sharing with us. That vehicle is so cool.

Thanks Jean Jacob James
the only information that i have is from the box of the kit

Hi Dimitris
Don't worry about the right color or not. It looks absolutly stunning, I hope mine LWS will come out just half as nice.

Jacob

Once again Dimitris you have produced another peace of out standing work mate. Awesome

I almost missed this. Great scene!

Awesome! Really well done paint job on the LWS. I'm doing a LWS after the 232 I'm starting soon, so this is definitely what I'm hoping to do with mine. The dio I was planning was even quite similar to yours, so I may tweak it to give it a different look now.

I wouldn't worry about the yellow colour either. It's a cool "what-if" scenario. (which I don't think we see enough of here)

Very nice dio indeed, and paint job on the LWS is very good

But there are at least 2 issues with the vegetation
- there are no cactus in North Africa
- the palm trees look like more coconut trees, which there aren't either in NA, the most common ones are date palms

Are you sure about the "no cactus thing"? I've seen several pictures from the Tunisian battlefield, where cactus' clearly showes.

Jacob

thanks
here is the sdkfz

i finished the water and the foams

What product are you using for your water? Water effects scare me, so when I eventually try them I want to be using something decent. Your work with the water is quite nice, so whatever product you're using is doing the trick.

Well, Morroco is in North Africa - and there are cactus there, so why not in Tunesia?

Hi Kevin this "sea" is made for plaster (i paint it light blue) and clear silicone,for the
waves and gloss varnish and gloss varnish and gloss varnish
i made the foam with a mix of bales of cotton and silicone
for steel water usually i prefer a material named Envirotex lite(resin)

Jan i agree ..."that is the question"
thanks

¿no cactus? I think North African cactus origin is North America, but spaniards imported them...south of Spain is covered of cactus in desert areas, and north of Morocco was spanish colony, so...

the final result is

Nice finish




Maybe my statement was no precise enough, we I wrote NA I thought mainly Lybia / Egypt

You're right the Cactus is from America or Africa subtropical regions
those in Morroco or Tunisia, as well as south Spain were imported
therefore there are cactus fields in Tunisia, but these are plantations, I don't think it's common to see them growing everywhere

That came out as a very dramatic diorama. Lots to look and and keep your interest.
If you could get photos outside or with more light this would really show up better.

you are a true MASTER of water, bubbles and foam

cheers

Awesome!

As Gregg said,"AWESOME". Very beautiful scene Dimitrus! Mission accomplished!
As far as cactus origins, ID numbers, and to a certain extent-colors, don't let 'rivets' like these get in the way of a good story. If it says what you want it to say and the viewers enjoy it,then small stuff doesn't matter too much.
Fantastic works!

Awesome work Dimitris, once again your showing us your great skills and putting me to shame mate Thanks for shearing your build with us.
