Hedgerow diorama

Hello again,

Here are a few pics of my latest model. The Marder is the Tamiya "Normandy Front" 1/35th offering , with the figures built from the box. The US paras are an old Dragon references, with Hornet heads for 2 of them. Nothing fancy, the Dragon engraving was "sharpened" with a hobby knife and helmet straps were built from scratch. Apart from that, they were built from the box as well.

Happy Modelling!

By the way, the dead leaves are from a discarded teabag (a kind of "fruit tea"). You'd be surprised at how many hidden treasures and diorama material your kitchen holds....

10 things a modeller hates to hear

1. “Oh what a cute little plane.. does the propeller spin?… craaack… ah no”
2. “I used to build models too… as a kid”
3. “I know a guy who also does model planes, but unlike you, he actually PAINTS them, he doesn’t LEAVE them like that…” (when looking at a natural metal finish)
4. “Mmmh military subjects… what’s wrong with you?”
5. “Is that a swastika? Are you a nazi?”
6. “You must be very patient”
7. “The paintjob is so intricate. Do you use a one-haired brush or something?”
8. “I told my 4 year old to go and play with your toys. I hope you don’t mind”
9. “Ah models, nice. I ‘m a big Lego fan myself”
10. “You must have a lot of time on your hands…”
