Ola 19delta

First of all I really like the idea of this dio and it will look good when finished. The Kubelwagen is very cleanly built and the paintjob is good too, very convincing.
Bout the figures I have only a couple of nitpicks wich are that on both figures seamlines are visible on the legs and the boots of both figs are a bit too shiney but that are only nitpicks as the painting of the figures is good .
My English is far from perfect so hit my on the head if I say stupid things after this but as your road is painted now I suggest that you drybrush it in various tones of browns and greys and run some washes on it to get some black, grey and sand color in all nooks and crannies of the brickwork.
Are you going to built the Tavern yourself??? If so what are you going to use? Cork, Styrofoam, Plaster, foamcore??? I would like to know this

My 2 cents

The Tavern I bought from Magee's Website. I got the kit instead of the seperate pieces because it was cheaper. I havent recieved them in the mail yet but hope to get the soon. Im working on a street lamp right now and a bmw motorcycle to add to the dio. more pictures soon to follow

I agree with Faust. The car is very well done. The figures are fine, but could use a bit more something, I don't know what. The only area I think that needs work in the coblestone, they're just to uniform. I think the wash suggestion Faust made would be a good one.

Very, very good job for a first diorama though. Heck, it's good for a 2nd or 3rd diorama.

19 delta wre on earth do you find so much time to finish your kits coming on great just use
a little dull coat on the boots as for the seams on the figures scrape them off with a scalpel
or leave them on the trousers and dry brush them and there you have nice sharp creases for the soldiers trousers
keep going fella doing well
