Hey All, I'd like to present a diorama I finished a couple of months ago. This little vignette depicts some battle weary 10th Mountain Infantry soldiers and M-29 Weasel located somewhere in war torn Italy during WW2.
I used the 1/35 LZ Model kit shown: Except for adding some aluminum foil seat back pouches and dry transfer rubs from my spares box, the kit is built out of the box. The kit depicts the Weasel very nicely with plenty of detail. But Beware! This kit is tiny to say the least. Also, being entirely resin and photo-etched parts I would recommend having experience with both mediums before attempting this kit or you will soon be frustrated.
The figures are modified from the following kit shown.
Hope you enjoy...Until next time KEEP IT FUN!
Resin and photo etch. Wow, well done, Gary.
Awesome work of art, Gary! Your mud and puddle work is excellent, as is everything else.
Bravo!
VERY nicely done, sir...excellent work!
Great work, looks almost like taken from a movie!
very nice...which one is Bob Dole
Looks great!
Great job with the medic's helmet markings too! Accurate for 10th Mtn.
Gary, great looking weasel, and a wonderful looking scene !
Beautiful work all around on every bit of it.
Thank you all, very much!
Fantastic mate! I love the mud effect!
