Joachim P.Hello, Rui and Neuling, thank you very much. When it comes to the dio, it is pretty much still in the planning state, but I can´t wait to get started! Cheers!!
Joachim P.I want to say "Thank You" to everybody, who gave my urban ops Leo a thumbs up! Each is much appreciated. 🙂
Mr JamesLovely painting on the Leopard. Looking forward to the dio. Great work so far
Joachim P.Thank You very much for your kind words! I am fully into it, and hope, my plan for the concrete parking house scene turns out, as I only try to predict now 🙂
Davide VitaliWait, you're pouring REAL concrete?? I didn't understand you were building a real frame! Awesome, really looking forward for the results.
Joachim P.Hello, Davide, thank you very much!!! To be more precise, I used a cement-based Concrete- and Repair- Putty. In contrary to usual concrete, here the "sand"- structure is much finer, and it is fibre- proven, so I hope to gain the needed stability, without using any reinforcement inside. Plus, the used flow improver has worked fine, by breaking the surface tension of the used water, it was a pleasure to see, how fast the putty found its way and filled up the formwork without complications. Now, the hardest part is to keep my curious fingers away from it for 5-7 days, but meanwhile I can work on the figurines and the VW T3 "Bully" Transporter. I am happy, that you are looking forward to the result with me. Cheers!
SpanjaardWow, difficult to make it more realistic than to build like a real building would be!! Amazing
Joachim P.I thank You very much, Spanjaard, besides this attempt was quite an adventure so far, and I really learned a lot. I am happy, that you see it that way, and I can´t wait to add the details and kits to it. I love to figure out each little detail: it means a pleasure that comes with buying a kit and deciding for a dio, but is priceless at the same time. I am happy to share my progress here.
Joachim P.Dear Guy and Villiers, I thank You very much! Since I am still a quite new guy around here, it means a lot to me. Have a nice Sunday!
NeulingVery interesting diorama! Something off the beaten track, hopefully not a realistic look into near future .....
Mathias DecommereVery interesting diorama! Makes me think of Call of Duty MW2.
Joachim P.Hello, Neuling, thanks a lot!! To make an urban warfare dio set in the present day really felt a bit strange, even more, when the figurine set I used does come from the very present reality. So I agree fully with You.
Joachim P.Hello, Mathias, thank You very much. I needed to search for Call of Duty MW2 and must say, well, yes, one really may say so. 🙂
Album info
Hello, this is my 2nd full project here on scalemates. While searching for inspiration on how to paint this Tamiya Leopard 2A6, I found this article on the website tank-masters and decided to route for this camouflage pattern: tank-masters.de/?p=6743 , pictures by Ralph Zwilling
"At the end of March 2018, Tank-Masters.de had the unique opportunity to photograph the Leopard 2A5 Main Battle Tank with an urban operations camouflage during a test exercise at the new urban training site Schnöggersburg located within the German Army Combat Training Center."
Since the model kit is a Leopard 2A6, I hope, this "as if" can be valid here, this time.
Having finished the kit, I will now start the dio for it.
As addition comes Takom VW Bully T3, also Urban Operation camouflaged.
I finished the project on the 9th of September, 2023, and it looks really good to me. I can tell, the casting process made me learn a lot, and I must admit, the casted result leaves some room for improvement. I hope you like the pictures. Cheers!
