SD.KFZ.10/4 FUR 2CM FLAK 30

SD.KFZ.10/4 FUR 2CM FLAK 30

Here is my german ww2 diorama which is set in a german fortified bastonge in 1944 with the flak 30 gun and crew holding there fortification on the outskirts of bastogne. On the other side of the wall are two americans about to take the german fortification out so the entire 104th infantry division and the 4th armored division can move in and take the town of bastogne.

Tthe model to make this dio is a dragon kit, the german flak crew are from tamiya and the two americans are also from tamiya as well, the trailer is from italarie, the jerry cans, ammo, stowage,  foliage and spent shells are all from my spares box. The street scene is from miniart which is all painted from tamiya paints

WIP: RG-31 CROWS/IRAQ DIORAMA

Here is the first part of my diorama, here i am finishing the vehicle so it is ready to test fit on the base when i am ready. 

                          RG-31/REMOTE WEAPON STATION (RWS)






here are the road wheels and spare painted and glued together before weathering which will be done at a later stage.














This is the remote weapons station or rws for short which is almost finished.




The tarp is from valuegear and the axe and spade are from spareswhich are held together to look like bunge strapes.

This weekend i managed to get all the decals on and make a start on the base. I chose these type of decals because i think they would look good as a bomb disposal unit which i am also basing this diorama on.



I think the transformers decal is awsome and realy stands out well against the desert color scheme.



Now the decals have been fitted and sealed with a mate coat it is time to move onto the base.

                                                                 THE BASE



These will be converted to canadian bomb tecs


I will be converting these troop's into canadian with there desert digi camo



The first 5 pictures show's the accessary's which i will be using on this diorama as well as various other bits from my spares box.

The next picture's show the base being constructed.


This pic show's the plan that i will be refuring to when makeing this diorama

Here is the main part of the base which is made from depron foam board which is very easy to work with.

This is the foam board which i am using which i purchased from a company called FIELDS OF GLORY MODELS whichare based in the uk.


Here is a mock up of what the path and the size of the building will look like when finished.

For the road i am using fine wet and dry sand paper which my dad got for me from work.
