Well, after some comments i got in Step 1 topic

I decided to change some things, floor is completely redone, added a damaged curtain (still not painted), also i continued my plan and added rubble inside and outside, whats left to do is next:
- add more dust
- add a propaganda poster outside (still waiting from Turkey delivery)
- Paint and weather the figure, gun and rubble

Ah, yes, gun strap is made from thin brass wire and masking tape.

Pics :-)











All coments are welcome, first time they were very usefull. One thing tho, I CANT move him more away from the window, simply no space.

thanks

Good start to a nice vignette.

I have some ideas to improve this.
I would add more rubble on the outside of the building. At this moment I have not really the idea that 1 or two stories collapsed. There is no eveidence of the missing wallpart above the window.
Add a little painting on the floor between the rubble. You could add some wallpaper on the inside of the wall to give it a more residential atmosphere. Further the story is nice and clear.
I would try to make the snipers clothes matt though

Good start Mirko, I agree with Robert as well. Also, I would pull the sniper back a bit from the window. A sniper would try at all costs to keep the muzzle of his rifle inside the window so that the flash and smoke from his round does not give away his position. Just something to keep in mind.

Mirko, nice vignette you have there. Don’t forget to dirty up the windows and curtain.

To hide the rifle barrel, I would put a small piece of styrene or wood to represent / act as a broken shutter on the left window and switch the sniper to shooting out of the right window.

Well I believe it looks good and should improve as you weather it a bit more.

Wow Mat its a great improvment over the last pics !
hes lookng better than ever ,i know he will be matt ,hes just not finished yet
great work mate ! 10/10 so far

u have been improving Mirko. Crucial on the vigniette will be the figure painting and weathering and the color choices for the wall parts and the dusting weathering of them and also small details as the broken glasses of the window , some personal item just thrown in there.. Keep on working and dont trush that is going good

Looks good to me and good progress! I just want to ask you how you made the glass. I am planning to make a little dio and the glass will be the focus point.

Cheers!

The "glass" is made from thin plastic cover from my Gillete Mach 3 razor :-)

but you can use any kind of thin plastic you like.

Other way i heard, is to use thin glass for microscope, but i couldnt find to buy any here.

cheers

it is looking good Mirko..........I will have to try your gunstrap technique soon.

I have two pieces of that glass but it is way too thick for 1/35... Strange... May be I should give it a try before "thinking" too much.

Thank you very much for the information, it is useful for me.

Cheers!

Cagin,

The microscope glass Mirko is referring to is the slide covers that go on top of the sample mounted on the larger plates, which I believe are what you have. These covers come in very thin plastic or glass.

Cheers,
Rick

The alternative to the microscope slide cover is to use transparencies which are readily available from any regular bookshop. The transparencies are used for presentations on a overhead projector. You can sometimes get varying thickness too but they will look okay at 1:35.
