Thanks Giovanni

A destroyed car or some scrapped equipment might be a good idea.
Bringing the soldiers too close to the firing range was unrealistic especially without any cover, you idea would provide cover i just need to find out what kind of scraped vehicle to throw there


Hi Hussein, I think it is not realistic to put more soldiers to close to the enemy. But another pickup should be too ''heavy''. Maybe some scrapped equipment, some barrels, boxes etc.

Regards

Giovanni

The blood looks unrealistic. I have used in the past a very dark red on clothing (it soaks up on clothes) and a touch o Tamiya clear red over it. That adds more realism. Remember that blood oxidizes very fast and turns dark.

Very impressive dio Marcos and the details on the soldiers are amazing
Can you give me some advice how to paint the eyes of the figures, they are usually the most critical part for me

Thanks

There are several good videos on youtube. Here's a couple:

You will probably end up mixing techniques until you are the most comfortable with one.

What a beautiful convincing diorama ..Great work Hussein. Your work has inspired me to pick up some of my stalled dioramas. I really like to see you fill that large space with some vehicle or random debris (Fuel drums etc)
