I've submitted in gallery my latest dio, russia 1942
If u want o see the photos, here is the link:
http://photos.kitmaker.net/showgallery.php/cat/15048

The house is From Miniart, Ucrainean House, almost no major improvements, exept the ceilling and the floor that are scratch made.
For the ceilling I used stripes of wood of 2 mm wide, covered with plaster and then broken off. The floor is made by wood stripes, the ones used at ice cream. the windows are plastic foil used for jet printers.
Snow is baking soda mixed with PVA glue. Cat litter for bricks
Figures are DML, Winter Combat. I've made the belts for the guns from lead foil and cooper wire.
The tank is a Pz III from Zvezda, decals from Tamiya, painted in panzer gray then with powder of white chalk mixed with water. After the mix dry on the model i've take of some of with using an old brush to simullate wearing of winter cammo. After all i've sealed with hair spray then apllied a wash with burnt sienna.

waiting for yuor comments,
Sebastian

Sebastian,

a great looking diorama.... not overcrowded, good composition and a great building with lots of details too !!

IMHO the most impressive part is the snow.... it's wordefully executed. I love the footprints. Those minor details make a diorama wonderful to look at over and over again.

Good piece of work !

Hello Sebastian!

As Danny said, the snow is beautifully created, and it's very realistic looking too... I love that paintwork with the building, you're very talented..-

Excellent work Sebastian. For one, this is the first time Ive seen this building completed and painted. You made an excellent job in hiding the joints in the vacuuformed halves. The snow is a good idea to help this. I have this building almost complete as well, and it is a real dog to build. You deserve full marks for this alone. Looks well painted in these colours.
Nice little scene overall. Figures are well posed, and suit the scene. I like the way the white camo on the Pzr III is starting to fade/run. Nice one.

Very good job there Sebastian, I must agree the white wash on the tank and the snow look brilliant.
