Steven Van Dyck SzerzőThe figures for this dam will include sets from Tamiya, Miniart, Trumpeter and a few animal figures from Doug's miniatures. Most of them need sharpening of the details and filling.

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőSuch a large diorama needs some animal life as well, so these geese make clear that there is water in the vicinity. The picture with the loose torso shows the difference in quality between the Miniart Artillery Crew and the Trumpeter Flak Crew, that is more crude and has overscale breast pockets. I won't be using much of it.

Steven Van Dyck Szerző5 extra figures from Tamiya's 3,7cm Flak form a decent Flak crew. Again some undercuts were necessary.

M.Julian Marleslooking good. yeah, I had a set of Trumpeter panzergrenadiers and the detail was pretty soft with lots of undercutting to do...

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőThanks, Julian. The Trumpeter figures were a pain to remove from the sprue, the connector points were some kind of "planks" as broad as the part itself.

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőEverybody was ready for the spraystand. Armypainter black was sprayed from several directions. Now I'll airbrush Mr.Hobby Field Gray over the people with Feldbluses or trousers.

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőThese are all but three of the cast. Two Hornet heads are needed for the poor Trumpeter shooters and one figure has it's head already fixed.

Vjekoslav RanecQuestion: aren't those Tamiya figures out of scale compared with the rest of the figures? That was my problem when I tried to mix them...

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőThose whom I presume underscale are sitting in the Protze truck. Maybe it won't stand out like that...

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőThe geese have been primed black, airbrushed Deck Tan and drybrushed white. The duck is a bit more colorful.

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőHistorex pigeons will defile my beautiful walls. The chickens I'll keep for another occasion. The bags are painted in Tamiya Wood and washed deep brown. The red parts come from the Precision Models crane kit and will be fixed to the Maultier in the same way as they would contain the crane parts on a Bergepanther.

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőAll Feeld Green costumes and headwear are shadowed in Tamiya Dark Green with some black. The pigeons also got their costumes. Masking was done with gum.

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőA wash takes care of clothing folds. Some of the figures are ready to receive their heads. For the radio I found good reference online.

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőMost of the heads are fixed now, some others are still prepared.

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőReality in Scale aquatic birds are used to suggest the presence of water. They are primed in black.

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőThe gulls are drybrushed in white paint after a shade of Light Grey.

Steven Van Dyck SzerzőThese guys are luring a gull with a fish. The led-light shines neatly on the fish.
