Album info

I decided to give my diorama-building "skills" a try and put the IBG Chi-Nu into it´s enviroment. Thta much for the general idea.

Setting of the scene:
Somewhere on a Japanese main island, 1945 to 1946, a Chi-Nu II medium tank is moving along a rigde in a mountainous region in search for a good firing position to engage an enemy force reported to be in the area. While the tank has made a stop, the commander and another crewman are enjoying a bit of fresh air before the incoming battle while keeping a look out for enemy vehicles

The build:
The terrain was built up using simple packaging styrofoam cut in the rough landforms. It was then encased with balsawood and terrain shapes where modified with a plaster-tissue-paper mixture (darker grey) and coarse texture paste I had lying around.
Afterward I however decided to further work on it and got myself some AMMO Texture pastes that I used and changed the color using cheap acrylics and pigments.

Vegetation etc:
Ahem... let´s just hope I get it right... Wire trees are harder than they look 🙂
