Jeff Jeff, Thank you for the link. It is a massive wealth of information. I have spent a ton of time there and did my interior based off many of the pictures. I continually get lost in places like this. I go to look at a part color or position and divert for an immeasurable amount of time. My models take longer now as I wonder about in the information mass. Good stuff!! -S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapperSix Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Better late than never...in most cases. Other future participants for the D-Day Diorama. Painted and awaiting a final decision on the overall paint scheme. This will be my first diorama ever. As such, I may build other smaller "proof of concept" builds to ensure the success of this effort. More to come.... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapperSix Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 My proof of concept build for the D-Day diorama is going to be my test build of a Sherman M4A1W 76mm. The M4 has been my test bed for oils and other weathering techniques. The M4 is still very much getting the details worked out. I intend to create a vignette of the M4 moving through the French Bocage with the turret canted (more than it is now, closer to 90 degrees) to the right in search of a far away target. It will be on a muddy road with a break in the bocage providing a hull down position. I have never been to the bocage. The internet shows a deep brown almost grey/black dirt/mud in some pictures, and in others a dirt that is more red. So we will work that out. Once I have hammered out the issues in my first ever vignette, I will move on to the German vehicles and diorama. There will be plenty of foliage. Should be fun. Its something I have always wanted to do... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
