hello,

Thank you!

The diorama is finished ....

The beach is sandpaper, stones in cat litter. It is screened to be realistic and to classify pieces according to their size. The pebbles are stuck near the beach. The finest sieve is tea bag (pyramid with a square mesh). The base is made of cardboard covered with milliput (yellow).






Everything is painted in oils very dilute and airbrush.



Some green algae made ​​with paint.


Small pieces of driftwood and a little rusty tin (plastic plate).






The pontoon is made with reclaimed wood. It is painted with Tamiya white paint then spent painting in black and brown diluted oil.



Water is made ​​with a "new" product (which does not smell and is diluted with water (prince auguste). I have no experience in this area but I have not had too much trouble to work. it sticks a bit anyway ...prince auguste





The foam is painting.
]

The aircraft is in place. The diorama could be a bit bigger.




Two figures are added. One at the foot of the plane, the other on the left float. The bottom give a gun to the top. It will be inspired by this photo.





The GUN :

Thank you,

The pleasure is mine. Many have deserted?



The skeleton is made of copper remains in the super sculpey.

I dug a half sphere in the woods to mold the back of the head. It remains in the "mold" until the front is finished. It is easier to work with and the head is not deformed.






Crooked mouth is to put a cigarette ...





Gewehr98 modified with charger 25 bullets.

Cut in the plastic using a photocopy to scale.




A groove for the barrel (syringe needle)



















The model I had (a soldier of 1940) was much too short.

Tamiya paint and oil paint..







Curiously pants remains bright. I tried different matt varnish and remains bright .... I'll try again.




It seems that the jackets were black.

The second model will have this position:





The second is made of Fimo can cook in the oven several times. It's easier to cook piece by piece.
Boots and skeletons are cooked 1st:







The observer is over. It also has a big nose ..... and also small feet.

It just lacks binoculars and a cigarette in the mouth.












Now I'm almost done:

The observer looks funny and I do not like very much ...








Best regards.
