Here is my first complete dio! It's set in the winter of '44-'45 just behind the front lines. The jeep and command center are from italeri with DML and heavily moded tamiya figs-the ones in the jeep. This was mainy a learning project where I got to try a lot of new techniques. My figure painting skills are horrible as you can see, but other then that I think it turned out well.

Here are the pics:

I think the snow looks great Mike. Gives a very chilly look. Excellant!!

It looks great Mike but I think that you work over the figures . another thing : When jeeps turn , back wheels can not follow front wheels marks ! GOOD JOB

I think you captured the cold effect. If only the pictures were little bit more crisp.

looks great, but trust me, you should want to keep the snow on hte soldiers to a minimum. some icecles off the roof would be nice (try white clue). ohh, and since the jeep is in movement take some snow off that also.

Hi Mike..To start..I'll let others comment on techniques...For a first time dio...I think you have done a wonderful job..stick around Armorama for awhile and you will be amazed at how fast you improve

Thanks guys. I know I need a lot of improvement, but I thought it was a good first dio. I think that the snow is a little to much. I'll add another set of tire marks and take some snow off the jeep. 3442-I really like your icicle idea, I'll add some to the roof.

Good job. It must cold there!

What figures have you used?

The figures are from DML and Tamiya. The DML ones are the germen medical team with american gear. The tamiya ones are in the jeep and were heavily modified from the US infantry set of 4 figs. It was a lot of work to get them to fit in the jeep.

I really like this dio..i get the chills just looking at it. Feels soo cold. ...one thing i did notice..i think i would have put a few more footprints around. They may be there..and it may just be the pictures not showing them ...if soo..disregard my nit pic..lol..
