leFH18/40, Sd.Kfz.11 - 'LOST!!'

Hi folks, thanks Lechu, yes two figures planned at this stage.

Back on this doirama now, and it's been a bit of a trial. I'm using a lot of pigments + fixer, which are quite unpredictable. You never know exactly what shade of colour they will be when they dry.






Not much action in this dio, it's just a glorified base really. I hope you like it so far.

Cheers
JT

Excellent base , maybe you need a advertising sign or some propaganda posters on the wall to make it pop ? I have some ideas if you wanna chat

Jenny

Thanks for those ideas Jenny, always great to get feedback. Now I have something else -the figures have some paint, including insignia. Some shading with oils is yet to do.

If anyone can see a problem with uniforms or insignia, please let me know. They are 1944 artillery crew, with red piping on the shoulder tabs. Thanks, I hope you like them so far. (Apart from the guy with the crook fingers I think his orientation in the diorama will make them hard to see)


Cheers

Awesome m8, it looks fantastic I was also stunned by the tree and its bark effect

Thanks mate! The first fig is finished:


He looks pretty unhappy, not that this is my doing, it just turned out that way. Thats okay, it fits with the story of the dio. The other should be ready tomorrow I hope.

Cheers
JT

Thanks Aleksandr! I'm happy with the figure, considering that it is only my third since I started in the hobby again 3 years ago.

A big thanks Aleksandr!

Well I reckon the fat lady's singing. Cause I think it's finished unless I find something today. I'll take more photos tonight but here's a couple:

Way excellent JT , You have done an awesome job on the figures , I recognise one as a Royal figure but can not identify the guy with his hand on the map . They are brilliant and tell a convincing story !

Now whats next ?

Jenny

Thankyou Aleksandr and Jenny

Spot on Jenny, one of the figs was Royal Models, the other from Squadron. He had some arm surgery.
