Completed US Rangers REEDEES miniatures 1/16

[marco14]

Hi everyone,
This is a little diorama I have made,ore worked on from "REEDEES miniatures"
I was already looking for a long time to find something about D-Day Point Du Hoc" but you don't find that so easy,till I find it from Steven and that is a must have for me,so I buy a set.
Once it was here I see it was not so realistic because it was a bit to low,I wanna make it higher and have talked about this with Steven,from the miniatures ,but it should be to big for shipping to the customers.
So I begon to think to make it higher (not to much) and make it higher with wood and pins (steel)
This one must be first done before I start to paint the paratrooper from MMM 200mm
The pictures you see now is what I have made and have done to make it realistic as possible ,
It's the first time ever I have done this,and have done a lot of research on you Tube to make everything.
-I made 2 ropes from steel wire and put the enter hook on it,like it was on D-day
-made a rope ladder with tooth pics
-the water I have made with silicone and Isopropanol

- the gras is from jute rope and color them
- the rocks are made from plaster and cut them out
you can see everything on the pictures,thank you
