WIP 1/16 Leningrad 1944 "bear Trap"

[JasonB]

Nice! One of these days I will get around to one of my Trumpy T-34's.
Gotta put something under those tracks to "activate" the suspension a bit, would make it even more dynamic.

amazing work

Alrighty then, slap me for bein tardy and not seeing this sooner Dave. Another killer project packed with intense detail and brutal reality. Once again you never fail to add the bits and pieces that often go unnoticed to bring the dio to life, Yehaaaaaaaa.. And......Large Scale Baby! Lovin this one Brother, got it bookmarked and standing by for more.

Cheers, Ski.

P.S. There's a few bucks in this dio I'll bet.

Guys, thanks to each and everyone of you for taking the time to post, i am sorry i am not as active but as previously stated, i am bloghing an another site but will keep updating once i have something meaningful.

Steve, great to hear from you buddy, welcome aboard, i always appreciate your input.

As for cost.................... In total with figures, T34,metal tracks, cork, base etc, i would say around £400!

 

[Steve Ski]

Beauty, not too bad cost wise. Keep er rollin Bro.

Cheers, Ski.

Hi All

A quick update! I have made some more additions to the groundwork which will be completed once the building is painted...there will be a ton more pipes, metal, rubble, wire etc but added at a later date.
I have also added the primary coat for the building and will now concentrate on painting each individual brick with different tones/hues etc:-

The windows will be sandstone and I am yet to add some chunky bits of broken wall, but I can now don the paint brushes!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Redcap]

This is going to be spectacular when it's finished! Masterful work so far.

Hey Dave,
Which metal tracks did you use for the T-34? I have been looking at getting some sets for mine, but couldn't decide which ones to go with
Cheers

The scene you've created is un-freaking-believable!!! Even the detail on the backside of the base WOW

I don't think I've seen a more realistic bit of model architecture as this... I'll be following closely

Jay, the tracks were from here:-

Very good quality and excellent service too!

 

[Dr Force]

quick update, just started to add the variable brick tones to the walls and I have also added some variable colours to the groundwork. Once I have added a further two types of tone, I will then use a sponge to add texture, followed by a coat of varnish and finally, wash in the in the mortar!!

 

[Edorta]

Very realistic work. It´s like an scenary for a movie about the WW2.

Thanks to you all.

A quick update as the paint goes on:-

 

[Tutilo17]

That's truly incredible what you are doing here. You got my admiration...

By the way where do you go with your huge dioramas. There must be a fair bit of space at your place..

Keep up the great work!
Stefan

 

[Steve Ski]

Colors are dialing in well Dave, beauty as always!

Cheers, Ski.

A further update, i have finished painting the external building, but will continue to add to the groundwork and obviously add the damaged roof structure. I have also devided on composition as per pics below:-

 

[JasonB]

Nice!
I love the guy in the tank, and using the Jeff Shui figure climbing on the back really uses that pose well. When I first saw the figure thats how I pictured him being used , climbing over or on to something,perfect for your scene. Will be looking forward to seeing more
Cheers
Jason

 

[ChaosCossack]

WOW... I'm completely blown away by the detail and realism of the the building and groundwork. With the figures in, I'm getting a feel of where this story is going. VERY COOL!!!!!
Waiting for the figs to get some colour. When do you feel for completion.... sometime in 2015?

Hi Dave, well mate, what can one say to work of that standard, that hasn't already been said. Huge respect for your skills and, not a little envy. Will look forward to next update.

PS....I did message you several times on the other site......get the feeling you didn't get them!
