Latest Diorama - "Stalingrad" (2nd try)
Hello all.
This is my latest diorama that I have been working on since just after
Christmas of 12'. It depicts remnants of the German sixth army along
with a few stragglers here and there from the panzer korps. The figures
are all converted to various degrees. Some were extensive conversions
and others were as simple as just adding a head from Hornet or The Body
or Warriors, Jaguar etc. I actually used a lot of injection molded figs
from Dragon,Tamiya, and Master Box. I find the injection molded figures a
treat to spruce up and get them into shape. The factory is scratchbuilt
from cell u foam however the lower right hand portion of it as well as
the holding tanks are from Masterpiece Models. Check out Masterpiece
Models website as they have some great dio stuff. Those of you that are
familiar with Rick Lawler will recognize some of the masters that they
produce. Thanks Rick! The large brick wall that is behind the blast
furnace and tanks is scratched from balsa foam which I found a little
more forgiving than cell u foam. The holding control shed was also
scratchbuilt using Plastruct and Evergreen products. Finally the tank
wagon is from Baluard (a resin & white metal offering and the blast
furnace is from a Spanish company called Toro. I used alot of AK
Interactive stuff on this dio along with some MIG stuff and Bragdon
Enterprise weathering pigments. All the painting was done with Vallejo
and Citadel acrylic paints. I'll answer any questions you have by
posting here or just shoot me an e-mail. Also a warning that there are
alot of pics here, enjoy!

Nice Job! So detailed. I really liked how you captured all of the figure's facial expressions.
