1/35 - Mark IV "Female" 1917, Attack!

[Christian]

Hello,

I would like to show you one of my last completed diorama projects here.
It is a Mark IV "Female" in 1/35 scale from the manufacturer Takom. The model was made "out of the box", only the Lewis MG were replaced by which of brass, which was unnecessary, because the plastic from the kit are just as good.
The figures are from MB Models and Tamiya, accessories from the "spare parts box". The wood planks of the ditch I have made of the wooden sticks, which are in a well-known fast food chain for stirring the coffee
The dimensions of the diorama are 30 x 42 cm.

The painting of the model and the figures was done with Revell Aqua colors. Skin parts of the figures and also aging weathering, shadowing, etc. were made with "Artist Oil Paint".
Basically, I was not and I'm not a fan of the ready mixed colors, shades and aging remedies of Vallejo, Mig and whoever else ... I'm still "old school" at these things and mix these colors and shades all by my own.
Only a few of these things I use ... for example, this mixed wet and dry mud putty of Vallejo has convinced me and is therefore used by me as well.




























Cheers,
Christian
