This is what i did today



NOW , what do you think about it, ( as a critics of course ) my idea is too put a little bit of dark black wash on the wall. What can i do to make it more realistic here are a few details






This is the part of the wall i mean a strip of black wash 3cm large by the 1/2 way to top with the black wash what do you think about it would it be more realistic then ?


ARE THE FLAMES AND SMOKE OK ?

One thing I don't see is - how did it get there, was it moving when it went up? Is there a driver/passanger? If it was stationary, did a bazooka hit it? If so, you need the blast mark on the ground.

Watch the seams on the next build. The bottom of the side car shows a bit. It won't be easy to view because I believe the seam will be pointing backward (away from the viewer).

I like the wire draping from the poles.

Personally I'm not a fan of modeling fire. In the first photo the dark black smoke looks a bit clumped. Maybe you could use tweezers and pull out the smoke a bit. I like the fourth photo very much. I think the lowness of the smoke is what I like about it.

Good concept on this dio. Fire is very difficult to "model" but you have done well here. I like this little scene. The pole/wires are very authentic, as is the wall with the posters. I like your use of various sized rock/gravel to add interest to your ground cover - nice work.

A couple of things for your consideration.
The first thing I looked for was an injured/fallen figure/s. This would add a bit more realism to the scene and would help identify to the viewer what nationality they are looking at in your scene, ie. U.S., German, Soviet etc.

Also, as hot as fires get, some scorch marks on the nearby grass and ground would be appropriate, as are the scorch marks to the wall which you have already mentioned.

This scene is very interesting and well done. Please keep us posted as you move through it. Thanks.

Are there going to be more vehicles and/or figures? I agree that the technical merits of the fire are great but the story is incomplete.

You have the right idea but if I may suggest trying using less cotton for the smoke and flames. If you thin out the cotton I feel the smoke will look more realistic. Try to add some yellow and orange to the flames. The smoke will look better is you go from dark to very light grays to the natural white of the cotton.

Thanks for the idea about the scroch marks on the grass will concider it

Thanks for the tip and picture I just fought that burning vehicule were darker than tries or other subject i mean if you think that a vehicule as benzine ( or diesel ) paint job also if the hole thing should burn i will thinki that it will be quite a dark colored fire
ANYONE as colored pictures of burning vehicule might help there

Inded is the story not yet finished will come more details the diorama is actualy quite big and this is a piece of it one of the scenary

See my Forum about camouflage net, climb plant well actualy look at my profile you will notice that i am buzy with this dio for quite a long time

I used the critics to make some changes what do you think about it



should I also sand the tyre a bit to make it wormed out by the fire

wow, pretty cool!! better than i can ever do, fire is VERY hard to model i think and you make it look so easy.
i also wonder how it got there...if it skidded out of control you need skid marks....and if it hit the wall you need something that shows it....that is all if it did skid out of control....hope to see more

sure, sanding the tires would look better,
maybe try melting them a little instead, just an idea, you would have a bit of plastic dripping down, it would be neat

looks like the time when my dad got drunk and drove around on my uncle motorbike except without the smoke and fire. Great model you got there!

I like the ground. .But the fire is much more than it needs!
