gentlemen,

my RMG diorama is complete, for your viewing pleasure:

'A toast to lost comrades'

my diorama shows a pair of remorseful soldiers of the 11th hussars(30 corps), sharing a drink, making a toast to their stranded comrades of the airborne forces, who they failed to reach.















the staghound is Accurate armour, the figures are ultracast, and the base is a verlinden resin product, with extra details i added from the spares box.

this wasnt my planned RMG project, that wouldnt have been finished in time, so i used kits i had readily available to build this dio. not including the vehicle, this took 3 days to make and paint.

the staghound and base were painted with tamiya acrylics, the figures with humbrol and revell enamels. oil washes and mig pigments were used for weathering.

as you can probably see figures arent my strongpoint, but im pretty proud of the result

cheers

Really nice dio dude I like it very much.
That Staghound is a very nice vehicle what did you use to dust it that way.. Pastels, Pigments or something else.
The painting of Your base looks very convincing too and I especially like the Tag of the 11th Hussars on that propaganda poster. Great Touch.

Great Job from Greatbrit

Like this. It's the kind of model that I like to have on my own shelves.

Very nice work there Joe. I hope your still planning to finish the original project so we can all have a look. cheers Kevin

The weathering on the vehicle looks great, particularly the tires. I also like
the rubble and weathering on the building and street, very realistic, and
great idea to "tag" the poster.. the figure painting looks good to me.. and the
positioning of them with the description really does convey a sense of
the end of the line and a bit of dejection.. wrapped tarps on the vehicle?
Are they molded with the kit or scratch?.. if scratch what kind of material?
Excellent job on your dio!! Seeya

Hi there great brit . Its a nice lil scene with relaxed atmoshere.
Some comments on it :
The chain in fron tof the vehicle seems a lil bright coloured and maybe needs some pastel or washes treatment
The propaganda poster is very nice ..but looks a lil detached from the wall and a lil stiff, maybe needs some "softening"
Yoyr figures are nice and maybe a lil more shadowing in faces could be done
Maybe you could also provide some better placing for strapping on the stowage tarps...
All over a nice work , nice ground work and painting. Care to finish your initial plan for the campaign also !!!!
No Dio's to be missed

Costas

nice building and detailing.congrats for the diorama besides the diorama; I liked your responsibility to change your plans and build a different diorama to finish your entry ON TIME.
best regards

Great Job, i also like the 11th hussars graffiti! cheers

Nice work and a novel and origional idea.......Well done.............

I think that personally Its a shame the figures aren't toasting or something similar...........this would really make the title work for you even more..............

Well done keep up the great work.........

thanks for the comments guys.

ola rob,

the weathering on the staghound is mig pigments(i love em)

kencali,

the pale coloured tarps are included in the kit, the wrapped camo net on the front left mudguard is an accurate armour item included in their british ww2 stowage set(i think its meant for a sherman turret) the ammo box on the rear mudguard is from the same set

cheers

I moved the pictures in the gallery to the official RMG Gallery.
