Gallery: Vignette "The Hole in the Fence"  1:35 (ad) back to Overview


The Hole in the Fence:
The idea to this vignette originated spontaneously, actually I wanted to test my skills in the area of the Figurenmalens once again. At the start, it continued has come all the more I still quite well however ever, I had to still very much determines that I in this area must learn. It is just a long way to produce good figures and to paint, I admire the big of the scene that here this to way brings. I will certainly pull my teachings from this work again and will try to move with the next.  

 
The background
1944, the landing of the Allied Forces in the Normandy is partially proper bewilderment in full walk and with the German troops prevails. So my MG2 tries his/its Einser to follow here since a fast position-change became necessary through the surprising attacks of the Airborne. So, it is beyond stick and stone through the debris of the antecedent plane-attacks, once quickly the gap in the garden-tooth, in order to reach into the new position, been of use. What he/it is not already noticed in the eagerness of the skirmish that the first soldiers of the Airborne into the HKL eingesickert however is. This one has used also the protection of the fence to bring closer the German positions about itself. In this moment, the German storms through the gap in the fence, I like to leave the further development of the events you…

The Figures
The figures come from the sentence „German Panzerjaegers, Eastern front 1944, “from the company Dragon and the sentence „US Paratroopers (1944) “from the company masters box. Over the quality, one needs not much writes, from Dragon in her/it lived good and master-box takes second place here in no way. The assembly simply works out and it almost admits no positions the repairs. Here, I also find means first learning process, if the figures are built together and are primed, they should her/it/them itself exactly under a magnifying glass once or similar looks at all the the fine Gussgrates to determine and to remove. In this case, I have it done not like you with the pictures unfortunately will determine. It is admittedly small things she/it the result however disturbs however, at least me.

The Painting
Here, I tried a new way to go and didn't prime the figures with the airbrush separates would use the new colors of Revell, which I have served with the brush. For the grounding, I have used the color wisely, more normally wisely I take a yellow-sound here.  After him/it dries has painted the figures I from a mix from Enamel and Valleyo colors. The insignias with the Airbornesoldaten be contain Decals them/her/it in the kit. The tracks of the skirmish were served with pastel-chalks and the Alterung as well as the washing took place with rarefied oil. After the total was dried was sealed it with a layer Matt-lacquer.

 

The Diorama
For the diorama, remains were used from the Grabbelbox, so the fence as well as the framework and ground of the Dioramas was built from Balsaholz. The fence was painted with acrylic - and oils and in the plaster-bed was put down. Here, I have also tried to represent a few details like the torn off nails with a wire. The grounding of the terrain took place was painted with Enamels with acrylic-colors and the framework on the other hand. The shrub comes from a Centshop, is actual thought for the Aquarienbedarf, and became misuses from me. The tree originated from a sea-foam-branch, which was first primed in brown, on which I have fixed the leaves with gloss from the spray bottle. For the leaves, I have simply used gerebelten marjoram, simply in the application and advantageous.  
 
In order to be able to represent the movement with the GI, this was fixed with a pen, that went through the sole, with the underground.

 

Equipment
Like so often has try the arms as well as the helmets no belts that I here to adjust with a lead-foil. The foil is primed with Enamelfarbe and then with a fine, though sharp blade is cut. And since I didn't simply want to install the belt at the gun has built I from a thin wire the mounting as well. That installs at the arms my super-glue became the magic quality to a puzzle then there however has to hold there everywhere where he/it doesn't shall like fingers etc however not on the position where he/it shall. After some attempts, I succeeded with it then however and I was calmed down. And since the bare fence-wall didn't so properly want to please me has loosened up her/it/them I with a poster also. Here is the Internet a very good medium for such pictures, these stored and brought with a photo-program on the right size and printed out, cuts and installs, manufactures.  

 

Conclusion
A small vignette their construction much fun has done until on the super-glue-insole. It shows something like one also from a few rests, the total can do and can increase the value of ideas with a few. And me personally that no master of the heaven fallen is and one to the produces much practice from good figures needs.

 

Happy modelling
