Going underground: "BMP in Aleppo ll"

[Steven]

Mounted on wall - while it lasted - bond gave way - will be placed on the ground next to the entrance instead - blown off its hinges as it were

[Steven]

Wall fixed , rubble in progress - door ends up on pavement - bond was too weeak

Steven,

Looking good.

[Steven]

Thanks Paul
More rubble - seems a lot in the pics but I have tried to keep it proportional to the damage done to wall

[Steven]

making some corner - filler : Amo box out of coffee stirrers
Corner section pretty much done in terms of Rubble - gate attached
Videos from the conflict often show tunnel exits that are out in the open camouflaged by being hidden from the prying eyes of the Syrian/Russian air force and the various drones buzzing by, amongst debris or vegetation - or in this case I have tried to do both by adding shrubbery and a corrugated metal plate around the tunnel exit.

Steven just had another look through, glad you mentioned it in what's on the bench thread.
Some very fine modelling of the debris, really life-like .Hope you will continue this soon .

[Neil Merryweather]

I agree with the honourable member; more soon, please!

After completion of "taking a break" dio (you can find the finished result Here) I am picking up the third Syrian Civil War - themed dio

As can be seen from the pictures a feature in the scene is a burned - out civilian car. Making this was a first for me used Mig's old 1/35 resin burned - out car place in the scene:

A change of scenery: Adding an Arcade ( of sorts)
I decided the scene was a bit bland even though the building is a tower block with three stories I I decided to add an covered (corrugated sheets) arch – way creating an arcade.

The front of the arch way will be festooned with billbords and signs , wiring and other details common to modern buildings.

Previous scene







Current:



Parts of the roofing will be partlydestroyed by falling debris form the upper floors



Floor of the arcade is covered by tiles – laid separately sigh….took me a week and and I did a piss poor job . but it is in there and will only be partly visible and mostly form the side

[Neil Merryweather]

This is looking very good already-I can't believe you did individual tiles!

[JR]

Stunning work Steven , agree with the member above the
Honourable Neil Merryweather on those tiles.

[Windy]

Individual tiles? Pure madness (but outstanding). A normal sane person would've just scribed them! :smiling5::tongue-out3:
