Here are a few pics of some figures for an upcoming diorama. They are a mix of different kits some altered/converted to meet the needs of the diorama. Some are obviously missing hands and other items which will be added later.

thanks for looking

Bart

Lovely work I must say!

The face painting is excellent and you have captured the unique green colours of the Canadian uniforms.

Very nice work indeed- the uniform colors are really nicely finished- just the right shades I think. The smaller details like the webbing gear and shoulder flashes are also expertly picked out- right down to the metal fastenings on the web equipment. The faces also add to the figures greatly by conveying their expression so faultlessly. Thanks for sharing these with us!

Hi Bart,many congratulations fot your figures....i like so much the way in which you paint them, in particular on the Hornet faces, incredible indeed......i like so much too the Group of british Canadian figures mix togheter. SKP, 2 ROYAL model, sovereign, nemrod, exwolf ....really a fine job!!!
I am so curios to understand your future dioram project and if you ll involve other Canadian figures!!!
I suggest you, if i could , same other british Canadian soldiers fot your project: Hobby fan:592 and 590 that are tank riders, 726 that are four aec truck crew, resicast: 355608 a sits soldier, and same figures sculpted from Peter Morton under Resicast label ,but that now are under ABBEY MINIATURES label (sb model Group) that are fantastic: 07,08,09,010,011 and 012....they are four tank rider and an other pair...may be you know them may be no...and at the end the figures of a new line DDAY MINIATURES : 35021 ANS 35013 and 014....if you need same suggestion or opinion on their or other resin canadians figures, you could ask me without problems!!!

Waitig to see same other Canadian figures and this diorama going on i say you ggod bye and happy new year.

GREAT WORK! Just a suggestion- HORNET makes some VERY NICE resin British/Canadian/Commonwealth/ANZAC and Allied Head Sets (5 to a set), with either the Mk.I and Mk.II Helmets, as well as the newer (1943/44) Mk.III Helmets, sometimes referred to as the "Tortoise Helmet". These make for a nice variety for your Canadian Troops. In my personal collection of books, I've looked at many photos of British, Canadian and other Troops wearing the Mk.III Helmets, especially during and after the Normandy Invasion...

Mario,

Thanks for your comments.

The helmets are off some spare hornet heads I had. I cut them off and fit them to these heads.

These are all the figures I'm using for this diorama. I saw the list you provided and may use some of them for future projects.

Thanks again.

Bart

The paint job is superb. From the poses, I imagine a unusual diorama. Looking forward to what's next.

Awesome job on the figures Bart. Just to add to the list, Ultracast make some really nice British/Canadian replacement heads with mk 1 and mk3 helmets.

Thanks for the comments. I'm always looking for different sets and head sets for upcoming projects. I'll add these to the list.
