Ralph's first real diorama (Untitled)

[Pikeman]

Hi friends
I've got the field kitchen and a few figures ready for painting.


I've also been working on the buildings.This is my first time with Miniart buildings and I have too say I think they are utter crap.Some of the parts were so brittle that they shattered,however I have persevered with them and after quite a bit of work on them this how they look at the moment.

I did find them really time consuming kits myself but the end results are worth the pain.


Looking good so far Ralph and Iooking forward to how you make all these sets gel together

Awwwww, I like MiniArt buildings. They do take some getting used to though. Great progress Ralph

Miniart buildings are a test of patience, that's for sure! But yours are looking good Ralph

Thanks for the nice comments Guys.


I don't have a problem with the detail or the work that is needed to get them looking ok.


The problem I have is with the brittleness of parts of the plastic.


I do feel sorry for anyone with limited modelling skills if they were to approach one of these kits.


But then again we all have to learn somewhere.


Would I buy another? I'll have to see

Hi Friends.


Been working on this today.the horses are also made up.

Nice looking cart/ambulance. Would these have been painted, as I grey or something, or would they have been left bare wood?.

Most likely painted when new, but not maintained, good opportunity for flaky paint surface!

I'll probably go for a wooden effect.
