3 German Elites

[PANZERMAN]

This is my first time posting. I did this dio about 3 years ago. It's a 3 in 1 dio.
It shows the Africa Korps, Fallschirmjagers, and Waffen SS. The kits are a mixture of
Airfix, Tamiya, Heller, Italeri, and ESCI. I did some figure conversions as well.
Any comments are welcome.

Great work, Brother! Love your models.

 

[PANZERMAN]

Thanks, Rentar1. It's pretty amazing and humbling to finally post some work out here in cyberspace.
Here are some more pics.....

The scenes depict Rommel's Africa Korps during El Alemaen, Waffen SS in Caen, France,
and Fallschirmjagers at the Monty Cassino abbey.

Nice work on those

 

[PANZERMAN]

Hey fellow plastic addicts,
Thanks for the comments.
Geegad, to answer your question, I use the normal washes and drybrushing. I use
Vallejo acrylics, I think they are far superior.

Very unique Panzerman

I love the idea of the backdrops and the figures look especially good.

Look forward to seeing the next, great work

The overall look is great. The back ground is fantastic.

I have never seen this type of backdrop style dio's really well done.I love the weathering and uniforms are perfect.Casino is my fav they are all awesome.

Thanks, gaspur. I appreciate your kind comments. Sometimes when you think out of
the box, you get nice results. Experimentation works. I was going to make 3 seperate
dioramas, then I saw the round base I had for ages....the 2 ideas clicked together.
The rest is history. Bill
