  • My friends, tonight we'll take this WW1 diorama through the painting booth and give every element a base coat with an airbrush and acrylic colors!

    That chunk you cut off the bottom of the tank, don't throw it out! Do another diorama of one completely upside down in water. Two for one dioramas! Is there an escape hatch in the bottom of these tanks? If so, show it open.

    I have a archeology paper somewhere where they dug up a track shoe (circa 1918) for British tank and the amazing thing is what's clinging to it is Moss/MG/British railroad green. I think they call it Service Color. The black primer and thinned paint do make a huge difference. This diorama is great inspiration to continue down the WW1 rabbit hole. Always so creative. Thanks!

    Interesting. You have demonstrated much more than technical ability and modelling hacks. You have something that cannot be taught, namely an artistic talent. The use of colour to direct the eye to the soldier as the only living thing did not go unnoticed. So, any negatives? Yes. We don’t say, “So to say”, we say “So to speak”. Picky ain’t I?

    This is looking wondeful so far, Im really excited about how it will turn out, but I have a sztrong feeling that it is going to be excellent. If I may give a suggestion, you might want to make a desert tan helmet cover made out of linen cloth or gunny for one of the discarded helmets, they were used pretty often back then, since they provided an excellent base for camouflage and dind't reflect light wen they got wet. I know, I know, I'ts really time consuming and completely unnecessary, but it would be an excellent base for unique weathering on worn down cloth soaked up with mud, and it would just give an extra small detail for the diorama. Just a suggestion, but anyways, I truly love this project, and I'm looking forward to seeing it being finished, so keep up the good work.
