I got this guy to add to the dio:



And finally I got some pvc chairs that look about the right size. Maybe a tad tall, but fixable:




Hopefully this weekend I will have time to work on the building structure.

Replikant technologies has both the chairs, and a set of nice resin wheels for the Lince

The tires are years light ahead of the kit ones, highly recomendable

For specific Spanish army figures and equipment, Nimix has some in their catalogue:

Gracias Alvaro. Si vi los neumaticos de Replikant, pero la verdad no sentí que la diferencia fuera tal que justificara su costo. Preferí invertir mejor en los fotocortados de Javier Villarroya que si hacen una diferencia notoria en la maqueta. Tambien ya había visto las figuras de Nimix pero tampoco me encantaron y decidí irme mejor por modificar otras figuras con poses mas ad hoc al diorama que pretendo hacer. Espero que al final le haga justicia al Ejercito de Tierra.

Yes,that chair is much more in scale. Looks way better ! Nice goat as well.

If that goat comes out half as nice as the one you did jerry, I will be happy!

Thanks I appreciate that ! I had forgotten about that goat.

Working on the building:

Building is all done and primed up, ready to paint. I did a little test fit with some of the figures:



On the second picture I presented one of the awnings for the market. I am using cork for the sidewalk.

Nice base color for the building:



And I have also been working on the rugs for one of the market stalls:

I have something in mind like these:

Hi Marcos - this is a great idea and looking good! The rugs are very clever - building looking good too - I'll keep an eye open for your next update!

Cheers

Some dry brushing on the building



And some rainmarks and some streaking effects:

This is the direction I am going:




But with lots of people

Been away for a while. I am working on the door and windows of the building:



My original plan was to paint the window frames rust and do chipping with a light green or turquoise. Colors that seem to be very popular over there. But now I think I like the wood look. What do you think?

Color of the building is very close to my reference photos. When I add electrical cables and billboards I will add a bit of streaking rust.

Coming along nicely !

Slow progress, but I have picked up again after summer:


Lighting is not the best, but you get the idea.
My carpet vendor stall is almost ready:

A view of the back of the building:

Wow. The carpet merchant is an excellent idea ! Brilliant. Nothing draws attention to the area of ops like that except maybe a coffee merchant with the silver bean cooker ?

Thank you Jerry. Planning on a fruit and vegetable stand and another with the goat, the sheep, and the chicken

just to let you know the burkahs the women wear or wore in afghanistan were light blue and completely covered the face with the excetpion of mesh over the eyes

Thank you Nick. In many of my reference pictures I see The "traditional" light blue burkas, but also other outfits with their heads covered. I guess not that strict taliban Muslims. In the second to last reference picture that I posted above you can see a woman to the left in the foreground wearing a dark brown flowery outfit. So basically I am doing a mix. I did find one figure with the traditional blue burka and will add it to the dio.

A couple more:

Deciding the layout of the fruit/vegetable stand:
