@sanford12 : it's me, or the people seems to be taller than required by the scale, notably compared to the huge locomotive ?

They were labeled N scale and are too big. My kids bought them for me so I'll use them for the kindness they did for buying them. I'm not a purist anyway.

I noticed many drawings and animations are out of scale, emphasizing the characters over the vehicles and background.

Ah, OK - I see ... I was surprised that you would have done this by yourself ! That said, it's cool from your kids, indeed !

T-34 out with a new control board and figures. Not finished as I am getting some proper bed rolls and weathering not quite finished. Note the battle damaged left rear. That is ABS plastic. No idea what or when it hit something or got hit but must have been a helluva impact

That's some of the nicest work I've ever seen there Space Ritual! You are an artist.

 

[Mr Boochie]

The diorama and photography are great, too!

Thanks guys but I can't take credit for the figures. Those are done for me by my friend Rob in the Netherlands. I can do tanks but realistic figures are an art form way beyond my abilities

 

[MuchoReverbo]

Yeah the figures are fantastic but the tank is too.

Is this a bug on the end of this guy's gun barrel?

 

[Space Ritual]

Ha yes I saw that. The battlefield had been weed whacked the previous day so I think a piece of a small blossom blew up and got caught on the end of the barrel

 

[MuchoReverbo]

It looks like an insect. Very realistic-looking.

No matter, you @Space Ritual and your Figurine Painter Rob are true Modelists-Artists...

Oh, it was a real picture taken in WWII... Look :

Excellent @MuchoReverbo ! Now it looks like Barbarossa in Winter...

[DesertRatt]

I'm too ignorant about this stuff to say much, other than "WOW! That looks fantastic, SPACE RITUAL!"

 

[MuchoReverbo]

Excellent @MuchoReverbo ! Now it looks like Barbarossa in Winter...

The Wehrmacht in full retreat!

Sure ! @MuchoReverbo 's image re-treatment has given the required "WWII Archives" touch...
