All figures are ready to paint now.I added 2 US 101st Paras and a Dutch kid to the other figures. (2 Dutch resistance and a Dutch Commando). Paras from DML 101st Airborne Operation Varsity Kit with different heads and hands.The heads and hands of the kit are very small when compared to the other kits and they are shorter and their helmets were covering the eyes.I added plasticard to the heads to make the eyes visible and to make them a little tall. Dutch kid is a very old historex figure from my spare box. Trousers, suspenders,buttons and arms are epoxy,hands from an overscale 1/48 figure.
In my diorama,Dutch kid is telling to an airborne where Germans hide, and the other airborne and Dutch commando are holding two sides of a map.



My diorama base is a street corner. I scraped cobblestone road,sidewalks and building from plaster. Building is not primed yet. I will add balsa window frames,door and floors to the building. Adding a street lamp to the corner can be good or not, it will depend on the opinions of my Dutch friends. :-) There will be an Orange flag hanged to the window over the door .



More photos of figures,street and building is in My Gallery

Your comments and critics will be appreciated as always.Thanks

WOW Engin,

still a lot to do in the last two months, but WOW this is gonna be another very fine addition to this Campaign. Those figures look splendidly detailed with things like riflestraps, buttonholes etc.... Keep us posted, this is gonna be another work of art.

Gray:
Figures look good, I like the poses. Can't wait to see them painted. Nice job on the resistance guys.

wow those figs are just great.

like danny said this will be another great dio in the campagne.

once suggestion maybe

the kids and the resistance people had an orange band round their upper arm.
maybe you could add that.

its just great and I think it depends on what kind of street light you want to use.

Hey GrayWolf!

This is looking excellent! Very nice idea and the buliding and base are super. The figures really look good too, you should be proud of this whole scene! Looing forward to see it all painted!!

Juul,

The Orange band is there with the resistance dude.... aybe a little difficult to see, but it's there on his left arm (Right on the pic, above the holster)

I seen that but its not on the kids.

in eindhoven they used kids as spotters but they also wore the orange armband atleast thats what I read and heareD

Ah ok, I had misinterpreted you reply. Sorry.

no problem and I have to admit I didnt see the band on the commando but it looks very good I would love to see a feature about engins figre sculping

HI Engin,this is is looking as if it is going to be something special,and i know you can bring it it off,just can't wait to see the paint going on,have fun with it Bro.

10 days off and I will kee you informed for the next steps.
best regards

Nice work overall Brothere there. The building looks fine and for figures ..i dont speak to you !!!!!

What primer did you use on the figures Engin?

speaking of Brother Engin ..i think Ghost grey or Dark Gull Grey ? am i right?

Figures are primed in Model Master/Testors 1728 Light Ghost Gray as Bro Costas said.

Great work there, them brick on the building look so real, I was wondering did you build a form, or did you scribe the bricks?

each wall is a block of plaster.First I opened the windows and door drilling big holes, reshaping the edges with no.11 blade surgical knife and sanding them.the brick texture is
scraped using a metal ruler,a little screwdriver,a few dentist tools,green scotch brite and metal brush.
