Live' from Iraq - 1/35 Diorama Final reveal
Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2015 9:36 pm
So here it is the final revela photos on this build ,
AS I mention , the Abrams Tusk II kit is a great kit from Tamiya , Build the tank with any issues , great detail , the figures are great ! I can advice anybody to build this one if you are on the modern era tanks subject and interest .
The figures form the Modern US infantry , is an interesting kit , a Tamiya reboxing with US Infantry and US Marines as option ! Figures are from MAsterBox , Tamiya instructions, but not the best ones in my opinion , Master Box instructions are easy to build, still expect more from Tamiya , but as a rebox , check prices first , you could get this ones from Italieri or MAster Box in a different price and the figures are the same I suppose !
US modern accessories , plenty of stuff , two full sprues , I use one , till have a lot fro another build ( and I expect to enter another one in this GB ...must use my US Marines
) great stuff , in plastic but add a lot when placed in any US vehicle .
The Resin kit from Reality in scale , very nice, great detail , almost take it from the box , glue it and painted ! Still I think that some advice on some Enamel signs ...it is in the box , almost gone to the tepid water to be treated as decals ...
, they should be cut and glued !
, the decal for the front of the shop really good , any issues , one of y favourites Resin building and accessories for my dioramas .
The MAIM jersey barriers ...in plaster/gesso , sorry if I do not know the right material name in English , nice , well packed , not one was damaged , lack the metal supports that we oftn see in this barriers, Not in the box , and I think the company could/Should supply this , for the 'sratch' modeller/builder , easy to do I think , even I looked for some spare PE , but honestly ..nah...not on this one ...well here are the Photos , hope you liked , I liked a lot doing this , the build started in my head with a lot to do ...then I didn't have a base that could serve to all the initial idea to have the Humvee and the tank and figures , in the end will be only the tank and the figures , and no reporters ...yes , it will be another Iraq dio , with the abrams , but I liked the end result , IF I place more figures , it will be crowded , the Abrams is a very eye catcher and a Beast , maiybe a scene with just the Humvee could do the business ...
Photos now , sorry guys ! Good luck with all your builds !
