The figures for this dam will include sets from Tamiya, Miniart, Trumpeter and a few animal figures from Doug's miniatures. Most of them need sharpening of the details and filling.

clever trick on the undercut there, I´ll follow closely 👍

Great detailing! But head-less figures are a bit scary! 😄

Such a large diorama needs some animal life as well, so these geese make clear that there is water in the vicinity. The picture with the loose torso shows the difference in quality between the Miniart Artillery Crew and the Trumpeter Flak Crew, that is more crude and has overscale breast pockets. I won't be using much of it.

5 extra figures from Tamiya's 3,7cm Flak form a decent Flak crew. Again some undercuts were necessary.

looking good. yeah, I had a set of Trumpeter panzergrenadiers and the detail was pretty soft with lots of undercutting to do...

Thanks, Julian. The Trumpeter figures were a pain to remove from the sprue, the connector points were some kind of "planks" as broad as the part itself.

Everybody was ready for the spraystand. Armypainter black was sprayed from several directions. Now I'll airbrush Mr.Hobby Field Gray over the people with Feldbluses or trousers.

These are all but three of the cast. Two Hornet heads are needed for the poor Trumpeter shooters and one figure has it's head already fixed.

Question: aren't those Tamiya figures out of scale compared with the rest of the figures? That was my problem when I tried to mix them...

Those whom I presume underscale are sitting in the Protze truck. Maybe it won't stand out like that...

The geese have been primed black, airbrushed Deck Tan and drybrushed white. The duck is a bit more colorful.

Shoes are masked with gum and sprayed Tamiya X-1. Civilians got some color too.

Historex pigeons will defile my beautiful walls. The chickens I'll keep for another occasion. The bags are painted in Tamiya Wood and washed deep brown. The red parts come from the Precision Models crane kit and will be fixed to the Maultier in the same way as they would contain the crane parts on a Bergepanther.

All Feeld Green costumes and headwear are shadowed in Tamiya Dark Green with some black. The pigeons also got their costumes. Masking was done with gum.

A wash takes care of clothing folds. Some of the figures are ready to receive their heads. For the radio I found good reference online.

Most of the heads are fixed now, some others are still prepared.

Reality in Scale aquatic birds are used to suggest the presence of water. They are primed in black.

The gulls are drybrushed in white paint after a shade of Light Grey.

These guys are luring a gull with a fish. The led-light shines neatly on the fish.
