Sorry, posted in portuguese.
The fence on the edge of the road was also made with the same sheet of wood and aged with the stain.

Pablo, I hope it helped you with this explanation. Another thing that I use here is very well diluted BITUMEN.

I used acrylic resin (crystal) to make water. I always wanted some Woodland Scenics products, such as water and more realistic, but never found here to buy.
So, my recipe: D
It is very simple: Mix the amount of resin to be used with the right proportion of catalyst. Like the river that I'm doing is not so deep, I will dont need to make several layers of resin.
My only concern is that the land was built in styrofoam covered with plaster. The reaction of the resin drying makes it warm and this can cause damage to the base.

With the mix I add a little stain suitable for this. Ready! It's just moving slowly and dump!



I applied a coat of paint on the tree


Here I put my tree already in place




Here we have applied the bushes in their twigs

Almost done!
Here is a sample of the entire scene.

It remains Demag half-track, the PAK 38 in tow, the Schimmwagen and figures

I still need to do a little dirt on it all. everything is very clean!
I need to grow this bush, do not let the color of the uniform tree, put the windows, to cover the chimney ............ and more.
It does not appear, but I still have a lot of work

I go to bed .... here in Brazil are already 01:00 AM

Hugs

Hi Rodrigo,

what an astonishing work, your dio is so realistic !!!!
And thanks a lot for this step by step post, it is very interesting, i can't wait to see more !

cheers
nico

excellent work!

Thanks Nico 37 and Jafo, but............

As I said I'm a beginner modeler, it's because I'm right!!
My figures are getting better .... are still "ugly".
I believe that I have a lot to improve. I'm working for it.

The diorama is starting to look really good, very nice indeed!

Regards,

Rodrigo, this is so awesome!!!!

Rodrigo, keep those progress pics coming!
Do you allow me to make you a humble suggestion? Try to shade a little the faces of your figures, maybe a little shadow here and there will do the trick!

Thanks for sharing

Pablo

Pablo Thanks for the tip.

I'm still learning to paint pictures ....
Yesterday I bought my magnifying glass to see better power. It was difficult to see and do without them details.
Paint the eyes, eyebrows and facial detail, to me is still very complicated .....
Maybe now I can make it better ..... Thanks anyway.

hugs,
Rodrigo

Well, I had a little progress in my diorama.
Specifically river. This week I added the volume of water passing through the rocks and the water foam.
It fixed the soldier with the bucket in hand, because I needed to have the effect of water dripping.
Exit manufacturers selling "water effects" so that I can use that would import and Shipping costs are too high. Then I use a 3D acrylic paint (transparent white). It is very cheap compared to the price of water effects. And the final look is the same.

Some photos:

Rodrigo,

Nice progress.
I will try your water technique, since I recently fiddled with some Woodland Scenics products, and to be honest, wasn't happy with the results at all.
Maybe I do not how to properly use them... anyway cool work with the bucket!.
Keep those pics coming!
Cheers,

Pablo

Good project to watch for beginners like me. Good job

The ripple of the water is awesome. I really like the effect.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Rodrigo, this is amazing work!
Question....the 3D acrylic paint...is there a certain brand you used? I don't know what that is in America, as I have never heard of this, but I am intrigued!
:)

Thanks, Zontar.
It really was a very cool effect. Here I combined two types of materials. Crystal resin and paint dimensional relief (3D) to make waves where the water meets obstacles.

Hi, Brandi!
Dimensional 3D Color is an paint with exceptional versatility, excellent adherence, very easy to use.
It can be applied directly with a tip of the tube, a brush on cotton fabrics, non synthetics, non-starched, wood, styrofoam, ceramics, plaster, cork, paper.


I used colors: Transparent (waves) and white (effect of foam on the water).

Regards,
Rodrigo

Splendid water effect!!!

Rodrigo you have amazing skills, look at these websites to help improve your figure painting skills - https://www.timelinesforum.com/ https://www.hfmodeling.com/ https://www.planetfigure.com/ You could add some chopped herbs to simulate leaves, on your tree foliage. Keep up the great work you are doing
Paul

Hi there. Sorry for the delay in posting
more news. I'm too busy in my work and have not had time to devote to the hobby.
Soon I will have news and will post here for you.

Best regards,
Rodrigo

Hi guys!
A few weeks of downtime at work, but now I can go back and have a few things.
Now I'm working on some details of the environment.
I'm still hoping to get an order I made for a taller vegetation and while that's not enough .....

I also did some boxes to set the scene, the lid of the chimney and a crowbar
I'm not happy with my Halftrack - demag, so I was thinking of putting in his place my truck and put inside a load with several boxes.
It would be a problem putting the pack 38 in tow this truck?

Rodrigo,

That lamp is wonderful! Your skills are quite remarkable!
Keep those progress pic coming!

Cheers, mate.

Pablo
