Hey guys!I Finished the groundwork and add some more figs.There´s +- 14 more figs on the way!
What do you think??Coments are always helpful!

Looking very good.
I would make the dirt area in front of the barn a little less geometric (square). That will give it a more real life random feeling.

Wow thats a big dio! Go and finish it Bus, it looks good!

Thanks!It´s always good to hear your comments guys!

Looking very good so far! Its even bigger than my crazy Clubmobile dio. Keep the pics coming!

Was this the dio called Propaganda or something like that?

Yes!Its called Nazi propaganda...There´s a cameraman right next to the tiger, recording the Tiger crew

Nice work there and nice figure painting. One thing i d chasnge a lil is to colour the moisture grass growing on the roof a lil darker than it is (at least as many times i have seen it is darker) Nice dio cool and calm scene

I´ll give it a try!

Bus,

it is looking better and better...

Just, AFAIK, the waffenfarbe for tankers was pink. In your foto's the piping looks white (which would mean infantry).

The second remark is that, AFAIK, panzer-crews were not issued feldgrau clothing. Feldgrau panzer-uniforms were worn by selfpropelled gun crews (as for StuG's, Pz.J. and such).

I certainly do like the paintjob you did on them (IMHO they look good).

Cheers, and keep up the good work !!

Lookin A1 Capt

Imagine that...... tankers with CLEAN BOOTS!

Some things don't change throught the ages I guess!

Thanks guys!
Harm- Yeah I know.. in the figures forums they told me that, but I´m working on it !

You call that a diorama?! I call that a picture out of one of my history books! Congrats on a great dio!

Her´s a pic of the barn interior- it´ll serve both as a workhop(But I think I won´t put any workers in it) and a first aid station

Thanks MEBM.. Imagine 12 more figs in it!!

GREAT DIO AND EXCELLENT WORK BUS - CONGRATS.

ROBERTO

wow bus, that is one awesome dio you have there. you have really put a ton of detail in everything. it will be stunning with all the figures in it. i think if you added a tree in the dio itd really look awesome. congrats on a great job.

Thanks guys!
Meissen- I was thinking the same thing!! I´ll start to work it out very soon!

Hi Bus. I love the dio so far. As Dutchbird has already mentioned .. the grey panzer uniforms dont suit. Another thing I see as strange ... is the wooden flooring in the barn. I have never seen a barn with wooden floors. Depending on what it was built for ... it could have a solid concrete floor or paved, but normally an open-front barn like this would have no floor. When wood was used, it was to lift up the floor to keep whatever was being stored dry and away from from damp ground. Actually an open front barn would hardly have an expensive slate roof either, to be really nit-picky!! (sorry). Because of the picture clarity ... I can see a spouting coming down from the roof but dont see any guttering along the bottom of the roof. Is there one there?
When I look at the barn Im very impressed. I see an excellent barn that looks the part. My points are nit-picking, but only to bring to your attention, for realism. Whether to use slates or not, they look great. What have you used for them and what colour did you use?
Overall, i think this will be a very impressive dio and with the addition of all the figures will be someting to look forward to.

Thanks Pb


- No there isn´t...


- Resin and celluclay... I used the Humbrol Brick red and weather with oils and pastels.
Here is another pic- I adedd a tree.

It looks great, but I feel the same way as Slodder does on the ground formation, like it needs a more grass to keep from having the geometric look to have some areas going out a little further to mix it up a little and like a path where people have been walking from the barn to the road and a few patches in front cause grass springs up real fast in real life.
Just my opinion.

Yeah ,I know.. I´l see what I can do!

Lots of tall grass along the edge of the barn would give it the "weedy" look. Scattered patches of taller grass will give it a less manicured look

-New Tree

I won't go over the suggestions that have been stated already. But I will say that this is a very nice Dio. It is a very busy scene without being too cluttered. You have given me a lot of different things to see. I think with some of the suggestions implemented like the taller weeds etc this will be a contender. Thank you for sharing
