It’s Over ! Berlin 1945

[Guest]

Good evening to you all! There is no progress yet but I found something I like to share with you guys! As im doing this dio from Berlin i have been checking other people’s dioramas about the same subject and I come across this one and i felt is something that everybody should see because it’s fascinating ! Its a great inspiration for us modellers! I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as i did! So here it is. http://nevsedoma.com.ua/index.php?newsid=256867

Danny .
That's some diorama, mind you it took 14 of them... I did like the use of the photographic backdrop , think that is very smart . I don't know about you but I like that idea.
Remember when the mere mention of MiniArt would strike fear in to many on MM . I had therapy after trying to build a Zis Truck Your horses look good as does the gun .

Taking shape nicely Danny.
Due to the rabble getting a head start on me, there are no empty seats close enough for me to see your build, so I'm up in the upper circle with a pair of binoculars. Plenty of room up here - and a 'Trolly Dolly' all to myself!.......:thumb2:

Daniel,
Your off to a great start. I find painting one figure daunting so hats off to you for taking on a whole army.

Mick John Ron and Scottie thanks fellas! I know Scottie figures are daunting but I guess get use to mass production after the Afrika! Ron is place for everyone in the theatre! John I love the picture backdrop idea i think it’s great and yeah miniart is a challenge but I deal with it! Thanks for looking further updates on the weekend regards Danny

Hi Danny
Epic build ahead, loads to keep us interested.....it must be difficult keeping a consistent standard across so many items. Good start on the horses and guns though.
As to miniart, well I’ve only built one, the staff car, but thought detail, fit and finish were fine. The plastic used was awful though, very brittle so hard to work with.
Link was great as well, good find that one.
Cheers
Tim

Hi Tim thanks for joining and also thanks for the comment! Usually I work on one thing at the time but this time Im multitasking im almost finished with 2 horses need a little more work but probably will be done by tonight! Also did the extension panels for the street but I decided I need a sidewalk to both side to make it wider , waiting for the delivery and soon it’s arrived I can start painting the street, until then I hopefully manage to finish the horses and get that fully finished ! Thanks for looking cheers Danny! [ATTACH]305251[/ATTACH]

Tim's certainly right about MiniArts plastic, a mere look at the plastic caused it to snap !
Danny
.Well the street has grown , :surprised: going to be another of your massive dios by the looks of things. Nice work on the Lumber, I found the steps on the side fiddly, but yours looks good.

Hi there John yeah the street reached the correct size it’s not getting any bigger I promise the steps are solid guess the glue did the job ! I completed 2 of the horses 2 more to go and then i try scratch build the connections between the horses and the limber! Here are my horses ! Thanks for looking cheers Danny [ATTACH]305395[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305396[/ATTACH]

Danny.
Interesting to read your going to scratch the connection for the horses to the limber. Have you a source of photos ?
I shall look fwd to seeing the results. Horses def look the part.

Hi there John I just go by the instruction what was provided by miniart! Unfortunately whats on the picture is not on the box ! Its not to much just around 6 pieces need to be scratch build mainly like a rope what’s connecting them im not sure what to use maybe some thin plastic sheet will see so this is the part what’s missing [ATTACH]305496[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305497[/ATTACH]

[Guest]

Also I have received the sidewalk for the street from reality in scale but again I have miss calculated the length so its not enough! Put an order already for the missing piece! Have to wait a week again until it’s coming but no problem until its here the horses will be ready! So here is the further developed street! Thanks for looking cheers Danny [ATTACH]305498[/ATTACH]
