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.
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]
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.
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.
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.
Finally got Freedom in pieces, denubbed and cleaned before painting. Now I just need good weather to do it outside. Having a gunpla competition in the winter is hard for us scandinavians
Well i have to keep things suspenseful until it’s finished or it would be no fun. 😉
The decals are gold foil i’m pretty sure i bought from hobbycraft a while ago.
Really awesome mate! We’re not worthy 😉
I really dig how smart you use stuff like gold stickers and other card making stuff (like the halfbead peral things).
Paint is ace too.
WIP
In this time, I have many parts for use in the custom, (well, many guns lol) I try to put all, but choose a good combination it’s difficult, meanwhile take some pics in the diorama 😀 enjoy
sorry if i didn’t posted few weeks ago because of tests and school works. now i’m finally on vacation and ready to work on my Super Berserker Zaku
sorry if it’s short but i’ve been really drowsy and couldn’t focus on my work
( + i need to buy new paint cans :/ )
Your GM Sniper is looking great so far, can’t wait to see it painted. I was gonna use an LED on my sniper but not enough time to do everything I originally planned. I’m curious, did you use an SMD LED or just a regular old LED?
Thanks, yeah been able to paint these past few days so will post pics soon. As for the led. Its an ultra small green led by Hiq parts. Pretty bright for something so tiny. And your progress is looking great so far. Digging the color scheme.

Just my opinion: the tank is retreating? Since the turret is off. It’s losing the battle. So the tank should be facing the opposite side.
