Studio Barneywomble - French WW2 Village (1 Viewer)

[barneywomble]

Hi Fellow Diorama Makers...

Here is a sneek peak at my next project... a small French village during ww2. It measures 1200mm long x 600mm wide. The buildings are a mixture of Royal and Verlinden plaster kits and I have scratch built and weather flooring for them.

Cheers
Marc

Hi Wayne... NO the uploading pics problem STILL exists... I have been FORCED to use Microsoft's Internet Explorer to upload as there appears to be some problem with Chrome. Anyway rather play toy soldiers than fight with the computer... {sm4}

Cheers

Some more photo updates... ^&grin I have scratch built the telegraph poles using dowel (dinted up with a small ball peen hammer) and cross braces from balsa... The insulators are just plastic sprue filed to shape... The rubble is my own home made secret custom blend... ^&grin. The pieces of tin (roofing iron) is almost perfect 1/30 scale real corrugated iron which I have weathered using good old dry brushing and washing. Some close up pics to follow... Any advice or ideas great appreciated... ^&grin

Cheers
Marc

This little town it seems, is rising out of the ground. A nice collection of buildings being used and yes the detailed effects are excellent.:salute::, Robin.

hi Wayne, I got the tin about a year ago from some bloke, i think i bought some other stuff but cannot remember. I bought a fair bit of it and weather it myself. I did have intentions to do up packets of 10 sheets for about $10 and sell on ebay to other diorama builders. I have given Martin about 20 sheets for the WW1 Diorama all weathered and I gave Brett a few sample sheets...

Cheers

Hello to everyone...

It looks like the last of the French villages are leaving... I guess you cannot blame them as the German bombardment from a Tiger and Panzer IV was quite devastating... A German officer appears to keep an eye on the fleeing refugees... intelligence in the sector has reported Free French Fighters in the area causing havoc to the Germans...

All the best
Marc

Hello fellow Diorama Makers....

It appears the German Intel was correct and Free French Infantry have planned a small ambush for the German invaders...

cheers

Very good Marc, not aware of seeing these figures being used in a diorama before. They come up well, like the guy on the primer, something's about to go up in smoke^&grin, well done. Robin.

Hi Robin, Yes the FFI sets are great, very animated and each one entirely different. I only have 2 of the 3 sets released so I might get the other one just so I have all three.
