T34/85

Holger Kranich
Simple? Yes, maybe, but it blends wonderful in your livingroom😢 Friultracks?

james johnson
actually holger.........lately it is my living room that is having to blend in with my models!!
Those tracks are out of the box.............figuring out this new camera!!

Frank Krause
It always pays to look around a bit. How could I overlook this? Busy scene, James! You're at home with the Russians, aren't you? I envy you for your figure skills.

Kim Branders
Very nice dio. Grtz Kim

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Cooool!!
A lot of Figures.!!! Well created scene!

james johnson
Frank, my figures suck!!! But I'm having fun and getting better at it.....that line Markus made about layering acrylics (Pershing build) stuck with me and has really helped with my face painting.....
This diorama is on hold for a while.. I'm starting a St. Lo diorama built around a hetzer and marder........thanks guys!

Frank Krause
Hi James, take a look at my figures (if you find any) and you feel comfortable with yours.

james johnson
Frank, here's a dvd i'm trying very hard to find. If anyone out there could post a link where I could get it here in the states, I'd sure appreciate it.
Some guy from Ireland in another forum states that this dvd took his figure painting to a whole new level...themodellingnews.com..135-figure-with.html

Matthias Weiss
Wow, bigproject, James. Looks great so far!

james johnson
...Ah, that?s an old one Matthias. I?ve pretty much given up on dioramas and am now concentrating my efforts of assembling and finishing armor (with an occasional 1/72 aircraft to keep me sharp)?.let?s see??I?ve got to finish Dragon T-34/85 # 6266, then a P-40, then another Tiger 1, then a Sturmovik, then a KV-1, a P-51, then a Mk 3, then?a Fairy Swordfish, then a T-70, etc???no time for dioramas in other words!!

Matthias Weiss
Ah, right, wrong topic...

james johnson
close Matthias!

Hunter Cummins

Hunter Cummins

james johnson
thanks Hunter.......I'm out of the diorama business for a while. I've started playing "Barbarossa to Berlin" with an old friend of mine and am busying myself building the AFV's that we've been shooting at each other with!

Hunter Cummins
