Guadalcanal Marine 75mm Pack Howitzer, @ October 1942
The Howitzer is the excellent Vision Models injected kit, the figures are conversions of Dragon Guadalcanal Marines, with some Tamiya mortar crew parts. The sandbags are from Italeri, with epoxy putty blending. Painting is with acrylics, my firtst serious attempt at acrylic figure painting.
Very nice! The figures look great.
Send it!
Amazing!
Looks like a little piece of history ! Nice job!
A most excellent diorama...I wish I could paint like that.

You misread me, that was my first attempt at ACRYLIC figure painting, I used to do oils, and attended Shep Paine's painting course twice during the 90's, the Ideas on shading, etc, are similar, but the techniques and process are different
