"In Flanders Fields" 1/72

[Robert1968]

I'm calling this one complete


In Flanders fields was to be a representation of my new skills I learnt in Tank building and painting/ weathering but it just got carried away from there. The two Emhar WW1 " Male and Female tank kits went together easily. Variety of paints used were Revell Aqua, VAllejo and humbrol washes and WN oils the figures were from same stable as Emhar ( British and German infantry.Vignette base small frame and polystyrene, clay and Revell/ Vallejo paints oils etc.


I've had fun building this and learnt a lot of new skills and although lengthy had to be the best I could do. Hope you like


Comments as always good or bad

Top 1/72 job, Robert. You've certainly crammed in the action. It's all happening that's for sure. Nice one.


One minor observation, I think some mud on the tank tracks would make a big difference. Easy fix....


Yep, one excellent diorama. Well done.

Phew! I'm glad you finished this one before I get kicked off for being an agent provocature!


Excellent build Robert! You've crammed a lot into that & it definitely gives an idea of the terror the early tanks must have caused. Very well done!

Great dio Robert.


The way you have portrayed the movement in the tanks is excellent.

Really like this, Robert - it's very dynamic, and the paintwork on the tanks is fantastic.

My easiest way of dollops of muck is really easy 1 teaspoon of artificial imitation grass, dollop of white glue few drops of water and Revell Aqua earth/ dark earth/ mud colours. Mix with spatula and apply with old tired brush.


Hey presto
