WIP ICM Diorama 1915 Italians

[David Spencer]

A very nice start, looking forward to seeing more. (You also can't go wrong with Steely Dan )

Becker and Fagen were masters of their art

More sand bags. Marked a few spots for accessories. Painting the edges and laminate, and I need to build the machine gun so it can be pushed into the sand bags, where it'll sit, whilst they're soft.
Made a few bullet holes as well.
And an appropriate album to accompany the process.
More to come.

Villa-Perosa M1915 machine gun.
This had an incredibly fast rate of fire.

Sand bags made. Next up is probably painting them and the accessories.

(The ripped sand bag didn't look right, so it's since been re-done)

(Just past 2am, and I'm fully dressed, on the sofa, wondering if I dare risk going back to bed; the alarm goes off at 6.30; first meeting at 8.00; this ain't a good experience)

You should be justly proud of what you have achieved this far, I'm sure we all long to see more.

Many thanks. The damned stuff takes some washing off your fingers...

Coat succeeds coat (of paint).
One more to go, then onto highlights and washes.

("While the dolphins swim
In the sea
You're going grey, my baby...")

Next to nothing today, cos I was living my best life hiking in the Yorkshire Dales with a mate, in the snow and ice.
(Not as Arctic as that may imply, but both were present all around)
All basic coats painted onto the sand bags, and the few barbed wire posts I have planned are now inserted.
