What to do with this

[Alan 45]

Or, as above, with the addition of a hurriedly erected barricade across the road on the left, perhaps put there by the local resistance / partisans....This could be made of all sorts of stuff. Think of the fun you could have making things for it - tree trunks, anything.

Ive got all the stuff to do that so I can do exactly that

I don't know, how are we supposed to help, when you've only just now, let us know the bl***y building is stuck down....


So it's not the tank in the picture then? Interesting.....

It wood help wouldn't it mate , no I'm not using that tank now im thinking of using my stug , it got a lower profile so I can see more behind it , I'll put it at an angle to the right of the troops while they scout the area

Alan, as you are not going to use your Panzer tank, carrying troops, for your diorama, I feel safe in showing you my riders...If nothing else, just to show they do fit!

That's a cracker mate I have another PIV so I might gat another box of these figures and do another one

Thanks Alan, I hope you didn't mind me posting it on your thread. I was just showing the excellent poses on these Tamiya figures.


In the past, I have avoided Tamiya 1/35 figures, particularily the DAK one's. They are far too chunky coupled with huge boots - more like wellingtons!


However, the set you have here are excellent and the poses are first class.


Build on.....

[Alan 45]

No problem at all mate it's always helpful to see other builds


I had been looking for poses like these for ages you don't get too many like this their usually fighting or walking poses

I don't want to be a party pooped but if scale is important then the sandbag set isn't suitable they are grossly over scaled. Looks like it's going to be an awesome diorama.

[monica]

may i ask Aaron what size do you do your sand bags at ? plz


as i think my turn out about 5mm H x10mm W x 15mm L, ?


and then the other thing is what colors do you use and that one always stumps me ?

This info was shared to me by an ex soldier who claimed the solders wouldnt be able to lift Tamiya sandbags if they were scaled up. I have no idea on the measurements a correct scale would be, I could do some research if you wish. I go for a sand/buff colour trying to recreate a sack look.

[monica]

i do agree they seem a bit on the big side,as you said,i have never tried to get the distentions of one ?


and scale it down,to 1.35,


the color sounds about right and it would depend on how much there going through as well to alter the color,


so no real right or wrong,

You can have one mate no problem, I will send it to you as just the wire frame and my patented bark scratcher as well as instructions on creating the bark. You can attach the foliage yourself, just pm me your address and I will send it down.
