Hi guys,
I came up with this great diorama idea and hope it works out well.
Many firsts here: Will be my first diorama, my first time painting figures, first time working with resin.
Diorama will be a simple scene but i hope to make it striking to look at. A group of german soldiers walking behind the BMW r75 sidecar through the street.

Bike and figures are looking really nice.
I built the BMW kit around 20 years ago, and bought one for my stash when I got back into the hobby earlier this year. Viewing your progress on this makes me want to start on mine.

I used that very same base once myself years ago and it's a wonderful piece. Nice work on the details on those figures. That old kit is always a nice one for trying out your firsts. Well chosen.
Should be an interesting piece.

Thanks all... For those who have done this kit, can I ask about the decals? How are they as they are from the year 1609

they look mighty thick and I'm scared about their clear transfers standing out on the model

The diorama base all cleaned, fitted, assembled and ready for priming + painting...
What can I say, I kinda do like working with these resin bases! Just give resin a-lot of respect when working with them.

Is that the "50 shades of grey" modellers edition
The gate looks great so far
I never worked with the resin bases from verlinden
Altough i do have 2 buildings and i think they are good
But like you say it takes ages to paint all the stones by hand altough it pays off in the end
keep up the good work
