Bad Day In Berlin

[grumpa]

I'm just catching up again Jim, nice work, I too like the arm poking out of the view hole. It portrays a forlorn scene of panic.

Thanks Ian, the arm is starting to grow on me (pun intended):smiling2:
Jim:smirk:

[grumpa]

Bit more done, grubbing it up, set vehicle in place, may add a tidbit or two yet, then it's off to repeated washes and dry brushing till it looks right to me.
Oh, and I won't forget the arm:smirk:

[grumpa]

Too gory?

Too gory?

No

[grumpa]

No

Ahh...nothing like a simple answer to a simple question, they are war machines after all these "models" that we build.
War is the worst inhumanity to man that could ever possibly be conceived, especially when they are mostly launched due to greed and power madness.

life is cheap and compassion totally lacking once one is locked in it's maniacal grip......God help us all....:disappointed2:

[bazers]

Half track great .

[grumpa]

UPDATE:
No one wishes to die alone so I gave him a companion to pass into the 'Here After' with.:sad-face:

Oh...right, the arm...well I guess that makes three poor souls.
Much butchering and grinding required, he'll be dressed proper gory when done

Nice work on the figures Jim, it's coming along nicely.

Nice work on the figures Jim, it's coming along nicely.

Thanks Ian, just thought one figure (plus the arm) wasn't enough.
Really taking my time with this one, think I'll rough up halftrack a bit more to depict a furious violent encounter followed by that eerie
calm after most fire fights.

[grumpa]

UPDATE;

Scene just did not seem authentic enough for me, amount of carnage to soldier laying on ground needed a damn good reason for it.
So I decided that a Russian 75mm anti tank round ripping through front end of halftrack would do the trick nicely, poor guy was just standing in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Never enough filth, wreckage and carnage for me and yet it cannot even begin to represent the true horrors of war.

Enough fiddling me thinks, time to get down to paint work. Lack of weaponry, ammo and or personal equipment laying about is no oversight.
Marauding Rooskies would have picked scene clean of anything useful or souvenir worthy, leaving only personal papers and or photos which will be added scattered about
upon finishing touches.

Thanks for looking in...Jim

Thanks Monica, it's a challenge to try to depict such scenes, very enjoyable to me.
Will try a bit of a different painting technique on figures, more of a painting in of colors direct, instead of dry brushing them out.
Then I will sort of "antique" them in with gradual and varied dark pin washes...we'll see how it works out.

and a good idea with the wash in a darker color to pickup ,the detail,:thumb2:
