Well it’s still Sunday where I live and I just submitted. I hope 4 months work is not down the drain.. although I had the fun building it I was excited to get into the contest.
The magella is actually blown up. It’s the aftermath of the battle. I did pick up some cars so I’ll add at least one. I also got a jeep and some crates to add clutter to the checkpoint. I like your ideas – helping me tell the story better. Maybe I should add some smoke/fire effects to the Magella hull.
Man you want me to work LOL!
I looked at same scale vehicles – I might add one all chewed up. I thought about doing one side with buildings – or even just a silhouette of them – but I ruled that out for now. I did build rubble piles that would have been from the buildings next to the road… I do have other detail – barbed wire, bus shelter. I’m…[Read more]
Super nice – do you know how to flat spot the wheels so it looks like it’s sitting on the ground? Risky once its put together probably but adds to the realism.
Yes, don’t forget to submit ON THE CONTEST PAGE or you won’t be entered. Here is not good enough.
Nice entry – can you get better shots to show your hard work? Lot’s of heavy shadow…
And please any suggestions on my last set of photos as to how to improve this – I’d be excited to hear them. I’ll probably also add some people to help with the scale.
about 95% done – still some details like my bus shelter to fill in the empty corner near the light poles. Lots of little touch up painting to do and some more rubble in spots…
I’d find some same-scale vehicles, buildings, etc. flap them over, weather them, cut one of the track of guntank up, bend it forward to make it look broken, even cut it up into pieces, maybe pull a wheel out or off, etc. to make the entire scene a death match. Oh and scratch-build broken concrete blocks.

It’s your call. The guntank is too clean and undamaged to me. It seems to have entered the front line of a battle? Or in the middle of a battle? Weather it accordingly. Yes, drop more stuff on it. Or take the easy way out, put a city scene background on the back.

Youtube “smoke diorama”, “fire diorama” or whatever you’re thinking of building to get an idea of how to do it. Painted cotton balls work. Maybe a yellow/orange LED in the center.
I wish that I could see all these up close – no matter how good the photography it’s never going to be like in person. Really impressed with the work on here…
Guntank Dio in progress- Burst water main just visible under rear guntank track – delaminated armour on front of megela – smashed magella flier – much of the debris is on but…
Make sure you fill out the official final entry form if you have not already. It’s at the bottom of the rules page I think. That’s where you need front/back and two sides shots plus whatever other shots you want to submit.
