The plaster rocks are great Phil, have you thought about a short photo tutorial in the tips section?

Thanks again Adam

Not sure if I really need to do a SBS, it's extremely simple. Just mix up the plaster in a container of choice, add some pigments, let it dry and then crumble the result into suitably sized chunks. That's really all there is to it.

I'll give it a go on my next build. Just realized how important it is to dye the base product (in my case Das) as it shows through the paint if it cracks!

As a final step I added a layer of pigments onto the sand. That should hide any problems?

Took me long enough, but we're done here:






And the commander with all his glorious macro-photographic details.......not my greatest work to be honest and still a few things left to touch up


Hmmmm....is it just me, or....




Philipp

Looks great Phil

Thanks Adam

I reworked the figure a little, still not perfect but at least no really obvious problems anymore...at least none you can see with bare eyes, of course the camera is less merciful...

Ahh figures

The arch nemesis of the armour modeler

Good Looking scenario Philipp

Figures are not easy and heads are a challenge, but Herman's cousin looks OK, he really completes the scenario

Very nice one Philipp

Thank you Steve

Let's call him Herbert

The face was almost easier to get "right" than the uniform....not that it would look that way on the photos

Time to get better with that before I start on the dioramas that need a lot more of them

The build is done, the pictures are done too and float down to NZ as I write this. A little preview:



I don't think this kit really needs a summary - it's Tamiya, it's still great and it was a lot of fun.

Thanks everyone who rode along, see you on the next build
