The Seasons's Dare.

[Robert1968]

These are the ideas that I have in mind...
WINTER


My idea is build a few piece of street.


Snow and ice....and a gentleman walking carefully in front of a shop..?


Challenge: recreate snow and ice (will copy my Winter Patrol diorama)


And scratch build my own building.


SPRING


Maybe I will build a field with a younger girl playing with the flowers.


Challenge: Recreate a flowered field!! Flowers, many many flowers!!


It must be lovely...I hope


SUMMER


I have doubts here....


The idea is a child playing on or near the water. Maybe playing with a little toy ship?


Challenge: Recreate a lighting colour vignette and learn to produce real water as well.


AUTUMM


I have an old man figure that will be perfect for what I have in mind.


A garden or similar full of brown oak leaves!


Challenge: Brown colours vignette and build my own tree.


Well, maybe these ideas will change during the construction time....but, I like them so far


Thanks

Hi Pollux had a think on this a little more and 4 small vignettes of 4x6 inch I'll have to look up some bases and source the pieces to complete but your 4 seasons idea got me thinking:-( "you idiot")


Spring: 1/35 A RAF part base of field 2/3 aircraft mech running to service a fighter and one of mech drops the ammo so it's all over the place. Might fabricate a part of a spitfire wing and one mech on the floor picking up the ammo with say his sergeant giving him a shouting


Summer 1/35 two German officers checking a civilian ID papers in Africa and maybe 1 officer checking the civilians bike out and spilling the contents of basket say fruit everywhere, wil do the checkpoint and try to convey heat


Autumn 1/35 this might be a tough one but I'm thinking if possible a small outhouse with RAF personnel awaiting a scramble ( short sleeves deck chairs etc a table and a few cards possibly 3/4 figures in 0ne tripping over a deck chair and knocking the table over? as much detail as possible.


Winter 1/35 push back from Russia campaign 4 Russian soldiers in deep winter by a mortar awaiting instructions and one builds a snowman and is proud of it when he gets shot as he's out of cover?


I think it could work but time I get to do modelling is restrictive with my work and I have so many other projects to complete but what do you think?


Kind regards

I've been thinking about this one Polux and will give it a try if nothing else it should be a nice little break from the other builds every now and then

[papa 695]

I think all four ideas are lovely!! Personally I really like the autumn and the winter ones


Don't worry about the size. My idea was as small I can. But you choice your best one!!! The idea is the exercise...reproduce the four seasons


About time...don't worry as well!! This is not a GB, so you can start it when you wish and finish it when you want as well!!! Maybe summer 2034... lol


Thanks to take part

Fantastic notice Ian

[Guest]

For the members that want to join in, I propouse to write the next title on the diorama under construction thread.


The Four Seasons's Dare (Robert or Moni or.../just your name)


And my idea is to separate every general update with separate threads. For example: you have a new update on the winter one, just write "winter" on the top of the new post.


This kind, every member will know which one, of the four dioramas, are looking

sounds like a good idea ,


thinking what to use,i did have a great idea but the figures are just so costly will think of some think else,

[Guest]

I started these figures as well
