Tamyia 1:35 German 88 at the Kasserine pass diorama
A few years back I decided to construct a Diorama of a German 88 at the battle of the Kasserine pass. I had a Tamyia German Flack 88 North African campaign kit. The barrel was warped so I get a replacement metal barrel from Abner which was better in every respect. During construction I somehow (with the help of my cats) lost the left armor sheild and had to scratch build a new one from styrene which worked out well, The base was made from foam board covered in celluclay. I then, using white glue, sprinkled on different size sand and talus from woodland scenics. I airbrushed differnt mixtures of green and tan acrylics to mimic a desert landscape. The sandbags were made with apoxie sculpt. I brush a lot of different colored dust on using ground pastels.
The most difficult part for me was the painting of the flesh tones on the crew.
What a great entry, Robert @rob! Welcome to iModeler.
This is a superb diorama, all elements done to the same standard - weapon, figures, setting. The result is very realistic.
A very impressive entry, Robert @rob
Welcome to this great community.
Your diorama is perfect in every aspect, the gun barrel replacement is a great addition and your scratch builded side panel is perfectly done.
Well done.
